An audible tone is a safety mechanism engineered into the ESU that alerts the surgical team that the device is being activated. This ensures that everyone in the room is aware of the device's use and can take appropriate safety measures to prevent injury. The other options, such as flashing lights on the pencil or smoke from the generator, may be indicators of malfunction or other issues, but they are not specifically designed as safety mechanisms. Vibration of electrodes is also not a safety mechanism, but rather a feature that helps ensure good electrical contact between the electrodes and the patient's tissue.
