Installation

If the foot switch plug is not connected securely, then the energy output may not be 

activated. There is the risk that the HF instrument cuts tissue mechanically. This could result 

in bleeding and perforation of the tissue.

 

• Securely connect the foot switch plug to the foot switch socket at the electrosurgical 

generator as described below.

The foot switch plug is not waterproof. Any liquid, e.g. water, that gets into the plug can 

damage the foot switch.

 

• Take care that the foot switch plug does not get wet.

Tugging and pulling at the foot switch cable can break the electric circuit and can damage 

the foot switch.

 

• When disconnecting the foot switch plug, directly pull at the plug.

 

• Do not tug or pull at the cable.

If a non-compatible foot switch is connected to the electrosurgical generator, then the foot 

switch might not function correctly. This could cause equipment damage which might result 

in patient injury.

 

• Only use the compatible foot switch (WB50402W) which is within the scope of delivery.

 

• Inspect the foot switch and its cord set for scratches, cracks, and other damages.

Do not use the foot switch if any kind of damage is observed.

 

• Check that the each pedal of the foot switch runs smoothly.

Do not use the foot switch if any kind of problem with the pedals is observed.

To connect the double pedal foot switch to the electrosurgical generator proceed as follows:

1.  Correctly align the pins inside the foot switch plug with the receptacles of the foot switch 

socket.
