Inadvertently activated instruments and instruments that are
still hot after use can cause burns or fires:
• Store instrument away from the patient, never on the pa-
tient.
• Do not touch the distal end of the instrument.
• Never set the instrument down on flammable materials.
4.11 Risk of mechanical tissue perforation
Probe tips that are pressed against tissue can unintentionally
perforate it. The thinner the probe tip, the greater the risk. Avoid
all contact between the probe tip and tissue.
4.12 Risk of accidental tissue damage with the APC 300
If the gas bottles of the APC 300 are not opened or are com-
pletely empty, a spray coagulation is performed with the instru-
ment after each activation. There is an audible warning signal;
the bottles on the display of the APC 300 blink and an error mes-
sage appears. In the spray coagulation mode there is a danger
of unintentional tissue damage; the instrument can also be dam-
aged!
Before using the APC 300 always open the gas bottles. Observe
the self-check performed by the unit. How much gas is there left
in the bottles? The bottle symbols on the display of the APC 300
give an approximate indication of the quantity of gas remaining.
Never work with two gas bottles which are almost completely
empty. When one gas bottle is empty, the APC 300 switches over
to the second gas bottle automatically.
Always observe the warning signals and error messages.
