Device-related safety instructions
Devices manufactured by BOWA are developed in accordance with the current
state of technology and generally accepted safety rules. Despite this, risks to the
life and health of the user or other parties and/or damage to the device and other
objects can occur.
Use only accessories approved by BOWA; see Section “
Accessories and Spare Parts”, page 42.
Use the device only if it is free from technical defects and in good working
order and only for the intended purpose, always remaining aware of safety
requirements and risks while complying with this operating manual.
Have malfunctions that can adversely affect safety (e.g. deviations from the
permissible operating conditions) repaired without delay.
Wipe down the HF device only with cleaning agents and disinfectants that are
nationally approved for surface cleaning. See Section “Disinfection and
cleaning”, page 36.
Never immerse the device in water or cleaning agents.
Never use automatic equipment to disinfect the device.
Immediately drain any fluid that may have penetrated the device.
If the argon device has previously been stored or transported at temperatures
below +10 °C, it will take approximately three hours to adjust to room temperature.
2.4.1. Correct connection of the argon device
The HF voltages present during electrosurgery can cause interference to imaging
devices. This interference can be largely eliminated by suitable grounding and
screening.
Always ground the argon and HF devices via the equipotential bonding
terminals (e.g. to the equipotential rail of the equipment trolley). Connect the
equipotential rail of the equipment trolley to the equipotential rail of the
operating theatre, This will minimise interference to other electronic devices
from the argon and HF devices.
Do not place any equipment other than the ARC 350 or ARC 400 HF
generator on top of the argon device.
HF voltages are present during argon-assisted electrosurgery. Orderly
insulation of all probes, electrodes, wiring and cables with respect to the HF
generation being used must therefore be verified before each use.
