warnings:

12
FIRE/EXPLOSION WARNINGS
1. DO NOT use this device in the presence of flammable anaesthetics,
other flammable gases or objects, near flammable fluids such as skin
prepping agents and tinctures, or oxidizing agents. Observe appropriate
fire precautions at all times.
2. DO NOT use this device in oxygen enriched atmospheres, nitrous oxide
(N2O) atmospheres, or in the presence of other oxidizing agents , to
prevent risk of explosion. Ensure that oxygen connections are not
leaking.
3. Electrosurgical components, such as the Probe, may remain hot
following activation. Keep all electrosurgical equipment away from
flammable materials to avoid combustion.
4. To prevent the risk of fire, DO NOT replace Generator fuses. If it is
suspected that fuses are damaged, return Generator to Stryker for repair.
PRIOR TO SURGERY
1. The operator of the SERFAS Energy System should be a qualified
physician, having complete knowledge of the use of this equipment and
awareness of the risks associated with surgical procedures.
2. The operator of the SERFAS Energy System should have current
knowledge of technological advances in surgical products and
techniques.
3. The operator of the SERFAS Energy System should read this manual
thoroughly and be familiar with its contents prior to operating the
equipment.
4. The operator of the SERFAS Energy System should be sure that the
system functions as outlined in this manual prior to a surgical
procedure. The SERFAS Energy System was fully tested at the factory
before shipment.
5. SERFAS Energy components are designed to be used together as a
system. Use only the appropriate SERFAS Energy Footswitch, Probe,
and RF Generator.
6. The SERFAS and SERFAS Energy systems are independent systems.
Their components are not compatible with each other.
7. Operators of the SERFAS Energy System should be experienced in
arthroscopic and electrosurgical practices and techniques.
8. Carefully unpack the unit and ensure that all components are accounted
for and remain undamaged from shipment. Inspect the probe cable for
any damage to insulation. If damage to any component is detected, refer
to the ‘Service and Claims’ section of this manual.
9. DO NOT use the SERFAS Energy System on patients with cardiac
pacemakers or other electronic device implants. Doing so could lead to
electromagnetic interference and possible death.

13
10. Ensure the proper connection of the primary power cord of the SERFAS
Energy System to a grounded receptacle. DO NOT use extension cords
or adapter plugs, to prevent risk of electric shock.
11. DO NOT wrap the SERFAS Energy Probe cable around metal objects or
the induction of hazardous currents may result.
12. Position the cables to avoid contact with the patient, electrodes, cables,
and any other electrical leads which provide paths for high frequency
current.
13. Position the Generator so the fan directs the flow of air away from the
patient.
14. When the SERFAS Energy System and physiological monitoring
equipment are used simultaneously on a patient, position any
monitoring electrodes as far as possible from the surgical electrodes.
Monitoring equipment using high frequency, current-limiting devices is
recommended. Needle monitoring electrodes are NOT recommended.
15. Smoke generated during electrosurgical procedures may be harmful to
surgical personnel. Take appropriate precautions by wearing surgical
masks or other means of protection.
DURING SURGERY
1. DO NOT use the SERFAS Energy System with non-conductive media
(e.g. sterile water, dextrose, air, gas, glycine, etc.). Use only conductive
irrigants such as saline or Ringer’s lactate in order for system to function.
2. DO NOT allow the patient to come into contact with grounded metal
objects or objects which have an appreciable capacitance to the earth,
such as a surgical table frame or instrument table, etc., to prevent risk of
shock. The use of antistatic sheeting is recommended for this purpose.
3. DO NOT activate the SERFAS Energy System for prolonged lengths of
time when not in contact with tissue. Doing so may lead to
unintentional damage to surrounding tissue.
4. When the SERFAS Energy System is activated, the conducted and
radiated electrical fields may interfere with other electrical medical
equipment. Provide as much possible distance between the RF
Generator and other electronic medical equipment.
5. Select the lowest output power required to prevent patient injury.
6. Maintain the active electrode in the field of view at all times to avoid
tissue damage.
7. Remove the probe from the surgical site and place away from metallic
objects when not in use. Probes should be separated from other
electrosurgical equipment to avoid inadvertent electrical coupling
between devices. Inadvertent activation may cause user/patient injury
and or product damage.

14
8. Keep the ends of the Probe cable connectors, Footswitch cable
connectors, and Generator receptacles away from all fluids.
9. DO NOT activate the SERFAS Energy System until the probe is properly
positioned in the patient.
10. Ensure that the probe tip, including the return electrode, is completely
surrounded by irrigant solution during use.
11. Keep the activation indication lights and speaker in field of view and
hearing at all times during activation. The light and sound are
important safety features.
12. DO NOT contact metal objects, such as an endoscope or metal cannula,
while activating the probe. Damage to the probe tip or other devices
may result.
13. DO NOT obstruct the fan (located near the rear of the Generator).
14. Failure of the system may result in an unintended increase in output
power.
AFTER SURGERY
1. DO NOT attempt to reuse or resterilize any product labeled “Single-
Use”, as this may lead to equipment malfunction, patient/user injury,
and/or cross contamination.
2. SERFAS Energy Probes will not activate if reprocessed or resterilized.
3. DO NOT use flammable agents for cleaning and disinfection of the
SERFAS Energy Generator or Footswitch.
4. DO NOT remove the cover of the Generator to avoid electric shock and
product damage.
5. Attempt no internal repairs or adjustments, unless specified otherwise in
this manual. Units requiring repair should be returned to Stryker for
repair.
6. Disconnect the SERFAS Energy Generator from the electrical output
when inspecting fuses.
The warranty is void if any of these warnings are disregarded.
