Generator Electric Shock Hazards
Flammable agents used for cleaning or disinfecting, or as solvents of adhesives, should be allowed
to evaporate before the application of high-frequency surgery. There is a risk of pooling flammable
solutions under the patient or in body depressions such as the umbilicus, and in body cavities such
as the vagina. Any fluids pooled in these areas should be mopped up before high-frequency
surgical equipment is used. Attention should be called to the danger of ignition of endogenous
gases.Some materials, for example—cotton, wool and gauze—when saturated with oxygen may
be ignited by sparks produced in normal use of the high-frequency surgical equipment.
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
Electric Shock Hazard
—Connect the power cord to a properly polarized and grounded power
source with the frequency and voltage characteristics that match those listed on the back of the
unit. Do not use power plug adapters.
To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with
protective earth.
Electric Shock Hazard—
Always turn off and unplug the generator before cleaning.
Fire Hazard
Do not use extension cords.
Fire Hazard
For continued protection against fire hazard, replace fuses only with fuses of the
same type and rating as the original fuse.
Warning
Do not remove any covers or panels exposing the internal components. Refer to a Covidien
representative for service.
Connect the generator power cord to a properly grounded receptacle. Do not use power plug
adapters.
Electric Shock Hazard—
Connect the power cord to a properly polarized and grounded power
source with the frequency and voltage characteristics that match those listed on the back of the
unit. Do not use power plug adapters.
Do not connect a wet power cord to the generator or to the wall receptacle.
To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with
protective earth.
To allow stored energy to dissipate after power is disconnected (caps discharge) wait at least five
minutes before replacing parts.
Always turn off and unplug the generator before cleaning.
Do not touch any exposed wiring or conductive surfaces while the generator is disassembled and
energized. Never wear a grounding strap when working on an energized generator.
