Safety Information
The safe and effective servicing of electrosurgical equipment depends to a large
degree on factors solely under the control of the service person. There is no
substitute for a properly trained and vigilant service staff.
Warnings, Cautions, and Notices
Before servicing the generator, it is important that you read, understand, and
follow the instructions supplied with it and with any other equipment used to
install, test, adjust, or repair the generator.
General
Warning
Use the generator only if the self-test has been completed as described.
Otherwise, inaccurate power outputs may result.
The instrument receptacles on this generator incorporate a smart interface. They
operate with Valleylab LigaSure handsets or smart connector adapters exhibiting
smart codes.
Caution
Do not stack equipment on top of the generator or place the generator on top of
electrical equipment. These configurations are unstable and/or do not allow for
adequate cooling.
Provide as much distance as possible between the electrosurgical generator and
other electronic equipment (such as monitors). An activated electrosurgical
generator may cause interference with them.
Do not turn the activation tone down to an inaudible level. The activation tone
alerts the surgical team when an accessory is active.
Notice
If required by local codes, connect the generator to the hospital equalization
connector with an equipotential cable.
Connect the power cord to a wall receptacle having the correct voltage.
Otherwise, product damage may result.
