WARNING
This product is not intended to stop bleeding with diathermic treatment
equipment. Prepare an endoscope and diathermic treatment
equipment that can be used with it, so as to take necessary actions in
emergencies such as bleeding.
Do not use an electrosurgical instrument when supplying flammable
gas. There is a risk of ignition. If necessary, use non-flammable gas
such as carbon dioxide. Do not use excessive non-flammable gas.
Wear electrically insulating gloves when using an electrosurgical
instrument or accessory. If not worn, there is a risk of thermal injury or
electric shock.
Always keep pacemaker users away from electrosurgical instruments.
The operation of the pacemaker will be malfunctioned by the
electrosurgical instruments.
When using diathermic treatment equipment, suck mucus adhered to
the tissues in the body cavity first and then energize the instrument. If
the equipment is energized when in contact with mucus, it may cause
thermal injury.
Before electrosurgery, basic in vitro experiments must be performed
to learn how repeated use affects the cutting quality of therapeutic
accessories.
