SurgiStat Low-Power Electrosurgical Generator Service Manual
Inspecting the Generator and Accessories
Inspecting the Generator and Accessories
Before each use, inspect the generator and all accessories to verify good working order:
•
Inspect for physical damage to the generator and its connections.
•
Verify that the appropriate accessories and adapters are present.
•
Inspect all cords and connectors for signs of wear, damage, and abrasion.
•
Verify that the generator displays no error messages when turned on.
Service Personnel Safety
Warning
Hazardous Electrical Output
This equipment is for operational use only by a trained, licensed
physician. Bio-med technicians must also exercise caution when testing a generator.
Electric Shock Hazard
Connect the generator power cord to a properly grounded receptacle.
Do not use power plug adapters.
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 generator.
Electric Shock Hazard
Always turn off and unplug the generator before cleaning.
Fire Hazard
Do not use extension cords.
Patient Safety
Use the generator only if the self-test has been completed as described.Otherwise,
inaccurate power outputs may result.
The instrument receptacles on this generator are designed to accept only one instrument at a time.
Do not attempt to connect more than one instrument at a time into a given receptacle. Doing so
will cause simultaneous activation of the instruments.
Failure of the high-frequency electrosurgical equipment could result in an unintended increase of
output power.
Do not use electrosurgical equipment unless properly trained to use it in the specific procedure
being undertaken. Use by physicians without such training has resulted in serious, unintended
patient injury, including bowel perforation and unintended, irreversible tissue necrosis.
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.
If the patient has an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), contact the ICD manufacturer for
instructions before performing an electrosurgical procedure. Electrosurgery may cause multiple
activation of ICDs.
