The instrument receptacles on this generator are designed to accept only one instrument at a time Do not attempt to connect more than one instrument at a time into a given receptacle Doing so will cause simultaneous activation of the instruments Use the lowest output setting necessary to achieve the desired surgical effect Use the active electrode only for the minimum time necessary in order to lessen the possibility of unintended burn injury Pediatric applications and or procedures performed on small anatomic structures may require reduced power settings The higher the current flow and the longer the current is applied the greater the possibility of unintended thermal damage to tissue especially during use on small structures Use electrosurgery with caution in the presence of internal or external pacemakers Interference produced by the use of electrosurgical devices can cause devices such as a pacemaker to enter an asynchronous mode or can block the pacemaker effect entirely Consult the pacemaker manufacturer or hospital Cardiology Department for further information when use of electrosurgical appliances is planned for patients with cardiac pacemakers If the patient has an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator ICD contact the ICD manufacturer for instructions before performing an electrosurgical procedure Electrosurgery may cause multiple activation of ICDs Do not use electrosurgical equipment unless properly tra
