•
Use aseptic procedures.

It is recommended to always place a waterproof and absorbent barrier be-
tween the patient and the ASTOPAD applied part.

•
When RF surgical instruments or endocardial catheters are used, the patient
must also be properly insulated. This insulation must not be damp. The de-
vice manufacturer’s instructions for use must be observed at all times.
•
With transdermal drug applications (patches), the additional heat can
increase the uptake of the drugs and result in injury to the patient.

In the case of arterial occlusion, the applied parts of the ASTOPAD may not
be used distal to this area.
