Users are warned against the use of the HYFRECATOR® 2000 on patients with implants such as
metal pins, metal joints, etc. Check with attending physician for patient's medical history before using

The use of the HYFRECATOR® 2000 on patients with cardiac pacemakers is potentially hazardous.
The high frequency energy of the HYFRECATOR® 2000 output may interfere with the action of
the pacemaker. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the patient's well-being is maintained in
