1.3.2 Preventing Electrical Shock
WARNING
Insert the AC plug into a hospital grade receptacle. Not doing so may
cause an electric shock accident.
Use an electrosurgical instrument conforming to EN 60601-2-2. Refer
to the manual of the electrosurgical instrument for how to operate the
electrosurgical instrument.
Connect the electrosurgical instruments and electrosurgical generators
in accordance with each operation manual. Incorrect connection may
cause electric shock and/or burns.
CAUTION
The endoscope may be used in combination with peripherals. To avoid
an electric shock accident, do not use any peripherals than the ones
specified in this manual.
1.3.3 Treatment with Electrosurgical Instruments
WARNING
When using diathermic treatment equipment, maintain enough distance
between the distal end of endoscope and the tip of the treatment
equipment. Energize the high-frequency power supply after bringing
the tip of the treatment equipment into the field of view. Set the output
power of the high-frequency power supply and treatment equipment
below the rated output. Also, set the output power to the minimum
within the required range. If the output power is inappropriate, it may
cause damage to tissues in the body cavity, thermal injury, bleeding or
perforation.
Do not use an electrosurgical instrument when supplying flammable
gas. There is a risk of ignition. If necessary, use non-flammable gas
such as carbon dioxide. Do not use excessive non-flammable gas.
