WARNING
Wear electrically insulating gloves when using an electrosurgical
instrument or accessory. If not worn, there is a risk of thermal injury or
electric shock.
Always keep pacemaker users away from electrosurgical instruments.
The operation of the pacemaker will be malfunctioned by the
electrosurgical instruments.
When using diathermic treatment equipment, suck mucus adhered to
the tissues in the body cavity first and then energize the instrument. If
the equipment is energized when in contact with mucus, it may cause
thermal injury.
Before electrosurgery, basic in vitro experiments must be performed to
learn how to tighten the snare properly and how repeated use affects
the cutting quality of therapeutic accessories.
CAUTION
We recommend use of only those peripheral products specified in this
manual to avoid adverse outcomes such as electric shock when this
product is used in combination with other devices.
Prevent patient’s body from touching electric conductor such as metal
part of bed while using an electrosurgical instrument and an accessory
instrument. It could cause thermal injury to a patient.
Make sure that the patient's vomit or body fluid does not contact
the electric conductor such as metal parts of the bed while using an
electrosurgical instrument. Not doing so could cause electricity to pass
through the vomit or body fluid, resulting in thermal injury.
Be careful not to touch the patient while using an electrosurgical
instrument. Doing so may cause thermal injury.
Operate the instruments within specified output range as per the
device’s operating instructions. Leakage current may cause thermal
injury.
Perform electrosurgical procedures as per instructions provided in the
operation manual for an electrosurgical instrument.
