entire processing has to be repeated or the product / individual component has to be properly disposed of.
PACKAGING
The product is to be packed in suitable and standardized transparent sterile packaging (sterilization bags) and sealed. Observe
the instructions of the sterilization bag and sealing machine manufacturers as well as the current, normative requirements. Pro-
ducts / individual parts that have not been sterilized in bags must be used immediately.
STERILIZATION
Only tested steam vacuum autoclaves may be used. Make sure that during the sterilization of several different products / indivi-
dual components, the autoclave is not overfilled and that the products / individual components do not contact each other.
The following sterilization cycles may be completed:
Steam sterilization, 134 °C, hold time 5 minutes or steam sterilization, 121 °C, hold time 15 minutes
To dry the products / individual components, the drying cycle of the autoclave should be set. Use the autoclave manufacturer's in-
structions for use.
STORAGE
To maintain the sterility, the products have to be stored in standardized sterilization bags at a dry, clean place until they are used.
If the sterile packaging is damaged, the products must be processed once again before their use.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Instructions for Use of the RF handpieces
Inserting the electrode into the hand piece
• Turn the head of the hand piece one turn to the left.
• Insert the shaft of the electrode all the way into the hand piece.
• Turn the head of the hand piece to the right.
Now the electrode should fit tightly in the hand piece!
• Check the tightness of the electrode by gently pulling it. It has to be impossible to turn the electrode or to drag it out of the shaft.
• Make sure that the non-coated part of the electrode (metal part) is inserted completely in the hand piece. No metal parts of the
shaft should be visible outside of the head of the hand piece. Otherwise, you pose a risk of injury to you and your patients.
IMPORTANT: Only the approved original electrodes of Hager & Werken must be used. These electrodes are adapted to the
hand pieces and devices.
Inserting the cables of the hand pieces into the devices
The hand pieces are equipped with yellow or blue cables and matching plugs.
Put the plug into the corresponding socket, showing the same colour the cable and cable plug have.
Pay attention to inserting the plug very deep – all the way to the stop.
The following applies to the hf1 Surg bipolar only
Always put both hand pieces into the colour-coded sockets and according receptacles. This is the only way to use the device. By
removing one hand piece from the receptacle, the second hand piece becomes functionless.
