or its electrodes. Carefully follow the instructions for use, such as the application of the neutral 
electrode! 

 

NOTE 

Use bipolar technology if possible. 

7.5

 

Setting down RF instruments 

 

Do  not  set  down  any  electrosurgery  instruments  on  the  patient  during  application 
pauses. 

7.6

 

Risks due to electromagnetic interference 

 

WARNING 

The intended use of electrosurgery instruments that generate a high-frequency current, 
such as the CURIS

®

, may interfere with other electromedical equipment (such as ECG 

monitoring) and electronic equipment (such as telephones or PCs) during the activation 
of the HF current. 

 

 

WARNING 

Radio equipment, mobile telephones, or other transmitters operated in the immediate 
vicinity of the RF generator may impair its safe functioning. 

See chapter 9.4 for the minimum distances from transmitters. 

Take the following steps to reduce this interference: 

 

Connect the mains cable of the CURIS

®

 to a different outlet. 

 

Increase the distance between the CURIS

®

 and the other device (not directly adjacent to each 

other or stacked). 

 

If devices are operated next to each other or stacked with the CURIS

®

, the functioning of both 

devices must be monitored.  

 

Route instrument cables so that they are not close to other devices and their connection cables, 
to the extent possible. 

 

Ensure the potential equalization bolt (46) is connected to a proper ground. 

 

Route connection cables so that they are not close to other devices if possible.
