• Test this equipment prior to a surgical procedure. This product was thoroughly tested at the fac-
tory before shipment.
• Disconnect the unit from the electrical outlet prior to inspecting system components.
• The Turbo Auto-Sense™ system is only intended and suitable for the applications that are men-
tioned in the operating instructions.
• The smoke evacuator produces a strong vacuum. Adjust the airflow and the position of the
inlet end of the wand or tubing to prevent patient injury and to prevent suction of surgical
materials and surgical specimens.
• If the smoke evacuator is activated while the airflow is set to a high speed, it may produce a
sudden, strong suction action. Check the airflow setting before activating the smoke evacu-
ator to prevent patient injury and to prevent suction of surgical materials and surgical
specimens.
• To maximize patient safety, the tubing or wand should not come into direct contact with
tissue. Otherwise, patient injury may result.
