Inadvertent stimulation of a patient's muscle and nerves can be caused by low frequency currents originating in electric
sparks between the electrode and the tissue of the patient. Should neuromuscular stimulation occur stop the surgery and
check all the connections to the generator.
If this does not solve the problem the generator must be inspected by qualified service personnel.
Never lay the pen on the patient drape. Set it on the instrument tray when not in use. Accidental activation can cause
patient burns beneath the blade of the active electrode.
The electrosurgical equipment does emit unnoticed radiation of high frequency energy that may effect other medical
equipments, unrelated electronics, telecommunications, navigational systems.
2.2 INSTALLATION
The electric safety of
DIATERMO MB380
and
DIATERMO MB240
is insured only when the same are correctly
connected to an efficient net linked to the earth in conformity with the actual safety requirements. It is neccessary to
verify this fundamental safety requisite and, in case of doubt, to require an accurate control of the plant from part of
qualified personnel. The manufacturer cannot be considered responsible for possible damages caused from the lack of
efficient connection to earth of the installation. Operation without a protective earth connection is forbidden.
Before connect the equipment ascertain that the required voltage (showed on the rear panel) corresponds to the available
mains.
In case of incompatibility between the available wall socket and the feeding cable of the equipment, replace only with
legally approved connectors and accessory items. The use of adapters, multiple connections or cable extensions are not
advised. Should their use become necessary it is mandatory to use only simple or multiple adapter conforming to the
actual safety requirements.
The use of any electric apparatus involves the observance of some fundamental rules. Particularly:
don't touch the apparatus with wet or damp feet or hands
don't use the apparatus with naked feet
don't let the apparatus exposed to atmospheric agents
Don't obstruct openings or cracks of ventilation or heathsink
Don't leave the equipment uselessly inserted. Switch off the equipment when not in use.
DIATERMO MB380
and
DIATERMO MB240
must be destined only to the use for the which have been expressly
designed. Any other use is to be considered improper and dangerous. The manufacturer can not be considered
responsible for possible damages due to improper, wrong and unreasonable uses.
It is dangerous to modify or try modify the characteristic of the equipment.
Before effect any operation of cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the apparatus from the electric net, either unplugging
it from the mains or switching off the mains switch of the plant.
In case failure and/or bad operation of equipment switch off it. For the possible reparation address only to a authorized
service center and ask for the the use of original spare parts. The lack to follow the above requirements could risk the
safety of the equipment and can be dangerous for the user.
Do not reduce or disable the audible signal warning the activation of the generator. A functioning activation signal can
minimize or prevent patient or staff injiury in the event of accidental activation.
2.3 APPLICABLE SAFETY STANDARDS
DIATERMO MB380
and
DIATERMO MB240
are conforms to the safety requirements of IEC 601-1/ EN60601-1
(Medical electrical equipment-General requirements for safety), and of IEC 601-2-2 / EN60601-2-2 (Medical electrical
equipment - Particular requirements for the safety of high frequency surgical equipment).
