REUSABLE ELECTROCAUTERY
TIP FOR REUSABLE ELECTROCAUTERY
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
INDICATIONS
Cauterisation of tissues and small blood vessels during surgical
operations. No high frequency generator is required. Specially
suitable for ambulatory care surgery.
DESCRIPTION
F7297 and F7299 are reuasable electrocauteries wich allows
batteries and tip replacement. Inserting a disposable sterile tip
(F7298 series) on the anterior part, reusable electrocautery
becomes a self-powered system for cauterisation of small
vessels, and it provides an excellent alternative to the radio
frequency electrosugcial unit. F7297 and F7299 cauteries are
intended for different fields of application: F7297 is specific for
oftalmology, while F7299 can be used for gynaecology,
orthopedics, Othorinolaringoiatry, urology e dermatology.
Anyhow, they can be both used in specialities where an
accurate and quick cauterisation is required. Since
electrocautery body is supplied non-sterile (only tips are sterile)
these models can be used for ambulatoriali procedures only.
Tips are supplied with a sterile protection sheat in PE, which
must be used to protect electrocautery body when in use.
Depending on the needing, three different tips can be supplied:
fine long (F7298FG), fine short (F7298F) and fine large
(F7298L). F7297 cautery must be used with the fine short one
(F7298). The Working temperatures reach 600°C/1100°F for
F7297 cautery 1.200°C/2200°F for F7299 cautery.
WARNING
•Power is supplied by batteries.
•Use only alkaline batteries SIZE AA 1,5V LR6.
•It is advisable to replace batteries after every application.
•The tips, and the supplied protections, are single-use and
sterilized with ethylene oxide gas – do not reuse – Reusing
the product may lead to:
oPossible presence of biological residues that may cause
cross-infections;
oAlteration of materials;
oLoss of initial functional features of product;
•The tips and protections may not be sterile if the package
has been opened and/or damaged.
•After having controlled that packaging is not damaged,
verify cautery body; in case of visible damages or defects,
do not use the product and send it back to FIAB.
•Avoid direct contact of cautery with liquids.
•To clean the body use only water-based disinfectants
(containing no alcohol).
•Do not sterilise with steam.
•The body has a safety cap-closing system guaranteeing
protection when the tip is not inserted.
•The equipment is to be prepared and used by specialized
personnel.
•Avoid use in presence of flammable anaesthetic
products and mixtures.
•Replace the protection when replacing the tip.
•After use always reinsert protection cap before disposal .
•If needed, the body may be sterilized (without tip and
batteries) with ethylene oxide for up to 10 times (validation
of sterilization is under the responsability of each end user).
After sterilization, the end user should operate in order to
avoid any contamination in replacing batteries.
•As concerns disposal, please follow what explained at the
paragraph “DISPOSAL”.
Caution: remove the tip when the equipment is not used or it
may cause a fire.
PREPARATION AND USE
•Open the package containing the tip.
•Extract the protection cap from the handle by making it slide
in parallel to the long axis.
•Insert the transparent protection (Fig. 1) on the stem,
inserting the handle between the white strip and the paper,
thus protecting the tip lodgings.
•Remove the protection package.
•Insert the tip on the front of the stem, piercing the
transparent protection.
•For a preliminary control of the electrocautery, follow these
instructions:
oKeep the equipment far from things or people, and press
the start button;
oMake sure the tip becomes incandescent;
NB As concerns the low temperature model, since its tip
does not become incandescent, you can verify the right
functioning as follows: press start button and touch a wet
gauze (wet with sterile water or saline solution), then wait
2/3 seconds before noticing water evaporation;
o If needed, replace the batteries (see corresponding
paragraph);
•When using the equipment on the patient, make short (2-3
seconds) and repeated applications. Do not keep the
equipment on for too long.
•Do not exert pressures that may misshape the tip.
•Once the application is over, remove the tip from the
handle, remove the transparent protection and throw away;
if needed, clean the handle and insert the cap.
