Sterilizing electrode sheaths

For safety and optimum performance, sterilize each electrode sheath
before initial use and after each subsequent use.
1. Remove all debris from the electrode sheath by scrubbing with
brush and soap and water. Do not bend wire.
2. Clean in an ultrasonic cleaner, (such as Coltène/Whaledent's
BioSonic Ultrasonic Cleaner), with general purpose, non-

ammoniated solution diluted in accordance with manufacturer's
directions. Remove and rinse thoroughly.
3. Sterilize: Package in an FDA cleared or CE marked wrap prior
to sterilization. Sterilization can be performed with either of the
following cycles:
• In a gravity steam sterilizer at 132°C/270° for 15 minutes with
a 20 minute drying time.
• In a dynamic air removal steam sterilizer at 132°/270° for 4
minutes with a 20 - 30 minute drying time.
• In a dynamic air removal steam sterilizer at 134°C/273°F for 3
minutes with a 20 - 30 minute drying time.
Do not use dry heat, cold sterilization or chemiclave. Make sure
the area is dry before assembly.

Cleaning unit and handpiece cord

1. The handpiece cord assembly may be wiped clean with gauze
pads saturated in 70% ethyl alcohol after unplugging from unit.
Before use, dry the connector area thoroughly with a dry wipe
and by gently blowing air on the connector.
2. The unit may be wiped clean with gauze pads dampened in
70% ethyl alcohol after unplugging the unit. Assure that it is
thoroughly dry before use.
3. The dispersive electrode assembly may be wiped clean with gauze
pads dampened in 70% ethyl alcohol after unplugging from the
unit. Assure that it is thoroughly dry before use.
To reduce the risk of RF burns the following
test must be performed by a technician who
has been trained in maintenance of electro-
surge units.
WARNING

Electrosurge Analyzer

The use of an electrosurgical device analyzer to measure
performance of the PerFect TCS II will likely indicate lower than
expected output power. The capacitive loading caused by the
input circuit of the analyzer will detune the output circuit of the
PerFect TCS II electrosurge. Measurement can still be made by
making direct connection to the PerFect TCS II at the output BNC
connector on the side of the unit rather than using the supplied
cable. Eliminating the cable will reduce output capacitance by
250 pF. An additional capacitance will have to be added to bring the
total output capacitance (analyzer input circuit plus added capacitor) to
250 pF. Any capacitor added to the output must be rated for at
least 1000V.
To reduce the risk of an electric shock:
• Do not tamper with the PerFect TCS II or
any of its components.
• Be certain the PerFect TCS II is plugged
into a three-wire grounded power source.
WARNING
Do not use plug adaptors that eliminate
ground.
Interference produced by the operation of the
high frequency surgical equipment may ad-
versely influence the operation of other elec-
trical equipment. In case of interference, de-
energize or increase distance to susceptible
equipment. Connection to a different power
WARNING
circuit may also reduce interference. See section
6 for more information.
