PRECAUTIONS
2.1.1
General
2.1.1.1 Interference caused by the Generator could adversely affect the operation of other
electronic equipment.
2.1.1.2 Electrical shock hazard. Do not remove cover. Refer to authorized personnel for
service.
2.1.1.3 Generator may present a hazard to patients with pacemakers. Consult qualified
medical personnel.
2.1.1.4 If higher than normal power settings are required, examine all cables, handpieces and
the Neutral Pad for damage and confirm that cables are not wrapped around metal
objects or touching the floor. In the event that higher power is still required, replace the
Neutral Pads and handpieces.
2.1.1.5 Do not cut or modify any cables.
2.1.1.6 The patient should not come into contact with metal parts which are earthed or which
have appreciable capacitance to earth. The use of antistatic sheeting is recommended
for this purpose.
2.1.1.7 Physician to patient skin to skin contact should be avoided. Use of insulating gloves is
recommended.
2.1.1.8 When the Generator is used simultaneously with physiological monitoring equipment on
the same patient, the monitoring electrodes should be placed as far as possible from the
surgical electrodes. Needle monitoring electrodes are not recommended. Monitoring
systems incorporating high-frequency current-limiting devices are recommended.
2.1.1.9 The cables to the surgical electrodes should be positioned in such a way that contact
with the patient or other leads is avoided. Temporarily unused active electrodes should
be stored segregated from the patient.
2.1.1.10 The output power selected should be as low as possible for the intended purpose.
2.1.1.11 Apparent low output or failure of the surgical equipment to function correctly at the
normal operating settings may indicate faulty application of the Neutral Pad or poor
contact in its connection.
2.1.1.12 Before each use inspect the accessories, electrode cables and probes for
possible physical damage.
2.1.1.13 Do not obstruct air circulation vents.
2.1.1.14 For surgical procedures where the high frequency current could flow through parts of
the body having a relatively small cross-sectional area, the use of bipolar techniques
may be desirable to avoid unwanted coagulation.
2.1.1.15 Similar to all energy sources, by-products such as tissue smoke plume and aerosols,
create a health concern about their carcinogenic and infectious potential. Appropriate
protective measures including effective smoke evacuation should always be utilized.
2.1.2
Neutral Pad
2.1.2.1 The use and proper placement of the Neutral Pad is essential to the safe and effective
use of this device in order to prevent burns from the Neutral Pad. The Neutral Pad
should be reliably attached with its entire area attached to the patient's body as close
as possible to the operating field. Direct skin contact is necessary for a conductive
Neutral Pad. Direct skin contact is not necessary for a capacitive Neutral Pad.
2.1.2.2 The Neutral Pad should not be placed on the patients head or other areas where it
does not make complete skin contact.
2.1.2.3 If patient is repositioned during treatment, check and verify the Neutral Pad is still
making complete contact to the patient. Check the Neutral Pad for signs of heating
during procedures.
