2.5.1. Surgical environment: Prevention of explosions and
ignition
Sparks fly during proper use of the HF device.
 Do not use the HF device in areas where there is a risk of
explosion.
 Do not use any flammable or explosive liquids.
 If display components fail, do not use the HF device any longer.
 During surgery in regions such as the head or thorax, avoid using
ignitable anaesthetics and gases which support combustion (e.g.
nitrous oxide or oxygen) or suck them away
.
 Wear suitable gloves during surgery.
 Use only non-flammable cleaning agents, disinfectants and
solvents (for adhesives). If you use flammable cleaning agents,
disinfectants or solvents, ensure that they have fully evaporated
before using the HF surgical equipment.
 Ensure that no flammable liquids collect beneath the patient or in
body cavities (e.g. the vagina). Suction and/or flush body cavities
before activating the device.
 Wipe off all liquids before using the HF device.
 Ensure that no endogenous gases are present that could ignite.
 Ensure that all materials saturated with oxygen (e.g. cotton or
gauze) are kept far enough away from the HF environment that
they cannot ignite.
2.5.2. Application of the neutral electrode
Observe the instructions for use of the neutral electrode in the operating
instructions and the instructions on the packaging of the neutral
electrode.
In the monopolar HF method, the neutral electrode feeds the current
introduced into the patient's body at the surgical site back to the HF
device.

To prevent a rise in temperature at the current emergence point,
the following conditions must be ensured:

sufficiently large contact surface between the neutral
electrode and the patient's body

high electrical conductivity between the neutral electrode
and the patient's body
