1. Review the IFU information provided in Appendix A, specifically note the following warnings to minimize over-delivery of energy:
" When inserting or retracting the Harvesting Tool through the Harvesting Cannula, close the Jaws and ensure the Jaw tips are oriented upwards (concave side up) to prevent damage to the Jaws.
" Application of energy without tissue between the Jaws of the Harvesting Tool should be kept to minimum in order to maximize Harvesting Tool performance.
" When separation of the branch tissue is noticed, open the Jaws and stop application of energy by pushing the Activation Toggle into the forward most position and retract the Harvesting Tool slightly.
NOTE: Once material has been transected, stop application of energy.
2. Consider the following to mitigate the risks:
" Inspect the device prior to use for any signs of damage including silicone peeling away from the jaws.
" Check the outer surface of the device for rough surfaces, sharp edges, or unusual protrusions that |
