12 Important Information – Please Read Before Use
ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATOR ESG-400 W7.091.601
endoscope distal end or endotherapy
instrument is in contact with or close to
surrounding tissue during high frequency
exposure. Otherwise, current flows to the tissue
through the part of the treated tissue, the
metallic parts at the endoscope’s distal end or
endotherapy instrument and may cause burns.
When using an electrocardiograph or other
physiological monitoring equipment
simultaneously with the electrosurgical
generator on a patient, any monitoring
electrodes should be placed as far away as
possible from the electrodes used with the
electrosurgical generator. If placed too close,
high frequency signals or spark discharge noise
from the electrosurgical generator may interfere
with the operation of an electrocardiograph or
other physiological monitoring equipment.
Needle monitoring electrodes should not be
used, as they may cause patient burns.
Physiological
monitoring equipment
incorporating high frequency current limiting
measures is recommended.
To prevent burns, the user and assistant should
wear surgical gloves during the procedure.
CAUTION High frequency leakage current
Wherever possible, the patient should not be able
to come into contact with electrically conductive
components that are grounded. Route all
connecting cables so that they are not in direct
contact with the patient or other cables. Capacitive
coupling may occur.
Potential hazards for the heart
DANGER Shock hazards to the heart
To prevent shock hazards, never apply the
electrosurgical generator to the heart in
combination with type B or BF applied parts.
When using the electrosurgical generator on or
in the vicinity of the heart, be sure to use it with
the
minimum necessary output. Spark
discharge during operation may affect the heart.
