To realize the full benefit from the HEMOPRO 2 technology, be sure to follow the “CLAMP” method to produce proper branch division and sealing.

NOTE:

A safety shut-down mechanism integrated into the handle will engage in the following situations:

• When the Jaws are activated frequently or for prolonged periods of time, with very short intervals between activation cycles.
• When the device is activated for prolonged periods of time (over 14 seconds of continuous activation).

When that happens, the device will temporarily deactivate in order to cool down.

• Cool-down period of ~ 30 seconds may be required before proceeding with long activation intervals such as fasciotomies or large branch transection. 
• Cool-down period of ~ 15 seconds should be sufficient before proceeding with typical vessel branch transection or short activation intervals.

Refer to the Instructions for Use (IFU) product insert for detailed information on device description, instructions, contraindications, warnings, and precautions.
