EMC Information Medical electrical devices are subject to special EMC precautions, so please observe the following directions. BOWA accessories are intended only for connection to HF devices specified by BOWA. Use of the accessories on medical devices from manufacturers other than those described may lead to elevated emissions or reduced interference immunity.

Incorrect HF generator configuration settings and limited visibility can lead to patient injuries: Carry out operations only with adequate visibility. Use only the ligation program of BOWA ARC generators with bipolar ligation current. Prepare the tissue to be sealed so it is as free as possible in order to avoid unintentional clamping.

In bipolar HF surgery, tissue coagulation is achieved by applying a high-frequency AC current, which generates heat. The ERGO 310D ligation instruments are surgical invasive instruments for use in laparoscopic or open surgery. They are used through surgically generated access openings in conjunction with products for endoscopic use, such as trocars and optics.
Connect the HF cable to a bipolar socket of the HF device The output power and mode is automatically set on the BOWA ARC generator with the Plug’n Cut COMFORT instrument detection. Perform a thorough visual inspection and functional test before using the ligation instrument.

Clean the electrodes of the jaws regularly with a moist cloth. Risk of injury due to sharp blade Do not activate the trigger of the blade during cleaning of the electrodes. Inserting the instrument Close the electrodes using the handle. Insert the instrument in the trocar sleeve. BOWA-IFU-MN031-600-ERGO310D-S2-EN-20190116...
