Chapter 3 Installation and Connection
33
ELECTROSURGICAL UNIT PSD-30
• When the electrosurgical unit is ON and improper
connections have been made in Step 3. above, an alarm will
sound and the patient/S-cord warning indicator will flash.
Reconnect the S-cord.
• Applicable endoscopes are limited to Olympus endoscopes
suitable for electrosurgery. For details, refer to the instruction
manual for the fiberscope or videoscope. If you have any
questions concerning the applicability of your endoscope,
please contact Olympus.
3.6
Connection of the A-cord
• Use only Olympus endo-therapy accessories for fiberscopes
or videoscopes. If other combinations are used, the full
responsibility is assumed by the medical treatment facility.
For details, refer to the instruction manual for the accessory.
If you have any questions concerning the applicability of your
accessory, please contact Olympus.
• Make sure that the A-cord (MA-255, MH-969) is not damaged
before connecting it. Broken wires in the A-cord could cause
reduced output/cutting performance, abnormal heating of the
cord, bleeding, perforation and/or noise in the endoscopic
image. If any of these conditions are observed, replace the
A-cord with a new one.
• Securely connect the A-cord as described below. Otherwise,
the high frequency may not be output during treatment and,
in this case, mechanical tissue cutting by the electrosurgical
accessory may occur and cause bleeding or perforation of
the patient.
