Codman® Electrosurgical Generator
Description
The Codman® Electrosurgical Generator (the Generator) is a unit designed for use with monopolar and bipolar instruments to cut and
coagulate tissue during surgical procedures. The Generator provides an audible indication of the operating mode each time cutting or
coagulation is performed. The Generator can be used with an electrosurgical irrigator, such as the Codman® Electrosurgical Irrigator,
and an interconnecting cable, such as the Codman® Electrosurgical Interconnecting Cable, where irrigation is available to the user while
performing electrosurgical procedures.
Indications
The Generator is indicated for use for cutting and coagulation of soft tissue in neurosurgical procedures.
Contraindications
There are no known contraindications relating to safe application of the Generator.
WARNINGS
• Read entire instruction manual before attempting to operate the Generator.
• Use of monopolar operating modes should be restricted to extracranial cutting/coagulation during neurosurgical procedures (i.e.,
the opening and closing of neurosurgical cases) and to tissues contained in the extradural compartment. The monopolar operating
modes should NOT be used in the cutting/coagulation of tissues in the subdural compartment or the neural parenchyma.
• Do not remove the Generator cover. There are no user serviceable components in this system.
• Replacement fuses must meet the specifications outlined in this manual. See Technical Specifications.
• This Generator must not be modified in any way. Unauthorized modifications could cause the Generator to malfunction or fail and
will void the warranty.
• The operator of the Generator must be a healthcare professional. The operator must be experienced in the use of electrosurgical
devices and generators in surgical procedures.
• Failure of the Generator could result in unintentional increase of output power.
• The Generator performs a self-test upon initial start-up. An indicator error in any of the self-test sequence indicates a device defect.
See the Error Diagnosis/Troubleshooting section to determine if the error can be resolved. If not, discontinue using the device and
contact your Integra sales representative.
