The REM indicator icon appears on the Standard Monopolar,
Valleylab, and Accessory Port displays.
1.
Place the patient return electrode on the patient. Refer to the patient return
electrode instructions for proper return electrode placement.
2.
Connect the REM patient return electrode plug to the patient return electrode
receptacle on the energy platform.
The REM indicator icon on the touchscreen illuminates red to indicate that the
REM patient return electrode is disconnected from the energy platform or
improperly applied to the patient.
The REM indicator icon on the touchscreen illuminates green when the
system senses that the REM patient return electrode is properly connected to
the energy platform and patient.
Warning
The safe use of monopolar electrosurgery requires proper placement of the
patient return electrode. To avoid electrosurgical burns beneath the patient return
electrode, follow all directions on the product package for proper return electrode
placement and use.
Do not cut a patient return electrode to reduce its size. Patient burns due to high
current density may result.
