WARNING!
This product may be used only by trained medical staff, who
have been shown how to use it according to the instructions for

Check the product for damage before use, including all the insu-
lation.
Risk of burns as a result of leaking instrument parts. The sepa-
ration medium that is issued from the instrument in uncontrolled
fashion as a result of leaks conducts the current during electro-
surgical activation. This can cause injury to the patient and/or
surgical staff. Erbe recommends performing test activation of
the waterjet to ensure that the product is not leaking.
If damaged, do not use this product!
Do not use in the presence of combustible or explosive materi-
als!
Endogenous gases (e.g. methane) can ignite through the HF flow
if this product is used in the gastrointestinal track. It must there-
fore be ensured, prior to use of the product that no endogenous
gases are present in the gastrointestinal track.
Never lay this product on the patient or in his/her direct vicinity.
Risk of infection for the medical staff. Medical staff may come
into contact with contaminated separating medium if the sepa-
rating medium splashes or there is an uncontrolled water jet.
Use personal protective equipment, e.g. a face mask and splash
guard. The protective equipment must be appropriate for the risk
arising from the patient.
