EN – TF09 – Handling and Operation

Insertion into the Endoscope

The Disposable Polypectomy Snare must be passed through the endoscope operating channel with its snare withdrawn into the tube. Please observe compatibility between the Disposable Polypectomy Snare and the operating channel diameters. Minimum operating channel diameter of 2.8 mm.

HF active cord Connection

Connect a compatible active cord to electricity connector at the handle and to the HF-generator.

HF Generators

Disposable Polypectomy Snares can be connected to all licensed HF monopolar generators by using the active cord.

Always check compatibility between HF generator and active cord. In doubt contact the manufacturer of generator or your local distributor.

The family of products has been tested in combination with the HF generator model ERBE ICC and the impedance has been controlled using the HF generator protocol. Any HF generators:

  • able to deliver the Max voltage of 1500Vpk,
  • compliant to the IEC 60601-1 standard at the time of its acquisition and
  • able to perform an impedance control of the external electrical circuit prior delivering the HF energy

can be used in combination with the device.

Please refer to the respective manufacturer’s manual.

If HF from other manufacturers are used, check their compatibility and follow their instructions. Applicable limit values:

  • Max. Power: 300W
  • Max. HF voltage CUT mode: 1500 Vpk
