Intended Use
3.1
Intended use of the maxium® smart C
The maxium® smart C electrosurgery unit, hereinafter referred to as “the maxium® smart C”, comprises an
HF generator and is used for electrosurgical cutting and coagulation of live human tissue. To this purpose,
electrical energy from the grid is converted into a high-frequency current which provides this surgical
property. The maxium® smart C provides the user with a large number of various currents individually
optimized to meet differing surgical requirements. The maxium® smart C is equipped for monopolar and
bipolar cutting and coagulation in micro- and macrosurgical operations.
Risk of injury by improper application!
Safe use of electrosurgery requires the user to be familiar with the technology and the applications.
With the maxium® smart C, Gebrüder Martin provides you with an electrosurgery unit that comprises state-
of-the-art technology, also for the safety of the patient and the user.
The operational safety of the unit must be verified at regular intervals, see section 14 “Periodic Safety
Checks (SC)”, page 114.
If the device is not functionally reliable and/or safe to operate, it must be marked as such and withdrawn
from service. A technical check is mandatory in any such case.
