fluid that deposits in these areas should be removed before the equipment use. The danger of endogenous
gas ignition has to be considered. Some materials like cotton wool or gauze, when saturated with oxygen,
may burst into flames because of the sparks produced by the equipment in the normal use.
•
There is a risk for the patients fitted with heart pacemaker or other stimulation electrode:
interference may occur with the stimulator signal or the stimulator itself can be damaged. Please
refer to Cardiology Unit when in doubt.
•
Electrosurgical equipment does emit unnoticed radiation of high frequency energy that may effect
other medical equipment, unrelated electronics, telecommunications, and navigational systems.
•
The accessory must be regularly checked, particularly the cables for the electrodes and the
possible accessories for the endoscopy to verify that the insulation is not damaged.
•
To avoid the connection of incompatible accessories to the unit, the insulation characteristics of
the items to be replaced must be requested to the manufacturer and compared to those of the
supplied unit (see Technical Characteristics).
•
Attention: a damage of the electrosurgical unit could result in an unwanted increase of the output power.
•
Inadvertent stimulation of a patient's muscle and nerves can be caused by low frequency currents
originating in electric sparks between electrode and tissue of the patient. Should neuromuscular
stimulation occur stop surgery and check all connections to generator. If this does not solve the
problem, qualified service personnel must inspect generator.
2.2 INSTALLATION
•
The electric safety 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 necessary 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 is not advised. Should their use become necessary it is mandatory to use
only simple or multiple adapter conforming to the actual safety requirements.
•
Don't let the apparatus exposed to atmospheric agents. The unit must be protected from seepage of liquids.
•
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.
•
The use of the unit is not suited in explosive rooms.

must be destined only to the use for that 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 modifying 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 an authorised service centre and ask for 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 minimise or prevent patient or staff injury in the event of accidental activation.
•
Avoid verifying the functioning of the unit by shorting the active electrode with the reference one
or the active electrode with metallic parts.
WARNING: When the electrosurgical unit is used in operating rooms it is necessary to just use
