ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATOR ESG-400
Important Information – Please Read
Before Use
Intended use
The
ESG-400
is an electrosurgical generator intended for tissue cutting and
coagulation in open, laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery in conjunction with
electrosurgical accessories and ancillary equipment.
Contraindications:
Electrosurgical interventions are contraindicated if, in the judgment of the
physician, tissue coagulation and cutting could have a negative effect on the
state of the patient. Electrosurgical tissue coagulation and cutting may be
contraindicated for patients with cardiac pacemakers, a weakened immune
system or blood coagulation disorders.
Application of high frequency treatment
If there is an official standard on the applicability of high frequency treatment as
defined by a national or local medical administration, or other institution, such
as an academic society, follow that standard when performing the procedure.
Before performing any high frequency treatment, study the properties, purposes,
effects and possible risks thoroughly (nature, extent, probability and imminence)
associated with the planned treatment and any alternative therapeutic method
that can be performed. Carry out high frequency treatment only when its
benefits outweigh its risks. Fully explain to the patient the possible benefits and
risks of high frequency treatment as well as those of any therapeutic method(s)
that can be performed instead of electrosurgery, and perform high frequency
treatment only after patient consent is granted. During high frequency treatment,
continue to evaluate the potential benefits and risks, and stop the treatment if
the risks become greater than the possible benefits to the patient.
