## Indications for use
The EM3 AEM Monitor is an accessory for use with electrosurgical generators and electrodes that is designed to safely deliver electrosurgical energy and to prevent injury caused by insulation failure and capacitive coupling. The EM3 AEM Monitor performs two distinct functions: * Active electrode monitoring is intended to control stray monopolar energy caused by insulation failure and capacitive coupling in surgical instruments on the shaft of the instrument. * End point monitoring is intended to aid the surgeon in determining the end point of bipolar electrosurgical desiccation.
