SECTION 2 PATIENT AND OPERATING ROOM SAFETY
Gyrus ACMI PlasmaKinetic SuperPulse Generator (Endourology)
USER MANUAL
Part Number: 144020-LB
SuperPulse Generator Power Settings
WARNING
Confirm proper power settings are displayed on the SuperPulse Generator before
proceeding with surgery.
Ensure the appropriate output setting is enabled for the
desired surgical outcome before activating the instrument and ensure that activation is
for the minimum time to achieve the desired surgical effect.
CAUTION
Upon reconnection of an instrument to the electrosurgical SuperPulse Generator, or after
navigation using the Mode / Menu button, the power settings for cutting and coagulation
may be changed from previously selected values.
WARNING
Do not simultaneously activate the SuperPulse Generator whilst activating with any
other electrosurgical equipment (on the same patient). Failure to observe this may
result in the attached instrument being unrecognized by the system.
CAUTION
Failure of the HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT could result in an unintended increase or
decrease in output power.
CAUTION
Use caution when overriding the default power settings.
CAUTION
Should a power supply interruption occur, the generator will revert to its Standby state.
The user should press the Standby / On button to restart the generator and then press
the Mode / Menu button to accept the default instrument settings.
Instrument Accessories
WARNING
When not in use, place active instruments in a clean, dry, non-conductive, and highly
visible area not in contact with the patient. Inadvertent activation while in contact with
the patient may result in burns.
WARNING
Do not wrap accessory cords around metal objects. This may induce currents that
could lead to injury to the patient or surgical personnel.
WARNING
Fire Hazard: Do not place active accessories near or in contact with flammable
materials (such as gauze or surgical drapes). Electrosurgical accessories which are
activated or hot from use can cause a fire.
Endoscopic Procedures
WARNING
As visualisation may be impaired during endoscopy for a number of reasons, be
particularly alert to these potential hazards:
Ensure the tip of the instrument is visible before activation.
The instrument tip may remain hot enough to cause burns after the
electrosurgical current is deactivated.
Inadvertent activation or movement of activated instruments outside of the
field of vision may result in injury to the patient.
Localised burns to the patient or physician may result from electrical
currents carried through conductive objects. Electrical current may be
generated in conductive objects by direct contact with the active instrument,
or by the active or return instrument being in close proximity to the
conductive object whilst activated.
