Device Description
The DORO® Non-Stick Bipolar Forceps are for use in general surgical procedures. These devices are connected through a suitable bipolar cable with the bipolar output of an electrosurgical generator. The forceps are designed to grasp and manipulate selected tissues. Coagulation is achieved using electrosurgical energy generated by the electrosurgical generator unit and activated by a footswitch. During the coagulation of tissue, the coagulated tissue may stick to the forceps. This undesirable effect can be eliminated by the non-stick properties of the unique solid silver alloy tip forceps of the DORO line. The solid silver allov tip provides excellent thermal properties and eliminates the difficult and time-consuming of the forceps during a procedure. The non-stick properties are permanent since it is not a coating and the non-stick properties are retained through repeated and frequent sterilizations. Reusable Standard two-pin round connector cables are designed to work with all foot-switching bipolar electrosurgical generators. The DORO® Bipolar Reusable Cables are non-sterile, reusable bipolar cables of 3 and 5 meters. They are designed to transport electrical power from a high-frequency electrosurgical generator by a foot-activated switch. The cable fittings are compatible for use with: Erbe, Martin, Valleylab, Aesculap and other ES Generator Units with twinpin connectors (2-banana plug). The cables are comprised of silicone (outer insulation), PTFE or FEP (core insulation), and Cu-wire poreless silver plated (wire). The cable consists of a twin-pin connector (2-banana plug) that is comprised of silver plated bronze and insulated with silicone. The connector cable at the forceps end is comprised of bronze or brass - silver or nickel plated, Stainless Steel 1.4310, PP (Polypropylene or TPE).

7. Sterilization by User

DORO® Non-Stick Bipolar Forceps and DORO® Bipolar Reusable Cables are delivered in non-sterile conditions. The user may sterilize these devices by using a validated and applicable sterilization process.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Every surgical instrument should be disinfected and thoroughly cleaned after each use. Proper cleaning, inspection and maintenance will help ensure correct function of the surgical instrument. Clean, inspect and test each instrument carefully. Sterilize all instruments before surgery. A good cleaning and maintenance procedure will extend the useful life of the instrument.

Special attention must be paid to slots, stops, ends, hollow tubes and other highly inaccessible areas. Check insulation, cables and connectors for cuts, voids, cracks, tears, abrasions, etc.

Do not use damaged instruments.

Cleaning and rinsing must take place immediately after each use for best effect. Failure to clean promptly may result in adherent particles or dried secretions that may resist cleaning and complicate or resist future sterlization.

Instruments must be completely cleaned and rinsed of all foreign matter.

Use warm water and a commercially available instrument pre-soak or cleaning agent. Enzymatic cleaners (such as Enzol ") must be used to remove protein deposits. Follow the enzymatic cleaner's instructions; rinse thoroughly, Do not use corrosive cleaning agents (i.e. bleach). Cleaning solutions and rinses at or near a neutral pH (7.0) are best.

Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Only a soft bristle brush should be used.

Immerse the entire device in detergent and clean while soaking.

Rinse with sterile deionized water.
