ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATOR ESG-400
DANGER
Pacemaker / Defibrillator malfunction
The high frequency equipment, when applied to a
patient with a cardiac pacemaker, an implanted
cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or other implanted
electronic
devices
(IED),
may
cause
malfunctioning or failure of the implanted electronic
device and may seriously affect the patient. Always
confirm that it is safe to proceed with a cardiologist
or the manufacturer of the implanted electronic
device before proceeding. If monopolar modes of
the electrosurgical generator are used, position the
neutral electrode so that the current pathway does
not pass through or near the implanted electronic
device and its lead system. The risk of malfunction
or failure of an implanted electronic device is
reduced by the use of a bipolar mode. A risk does
exist, however, if the application is in close
proximity to the implanted electronic device.
WARNING
Cardiac emergency
Always keep a defibrillator ready in case of a
cardiac emergency. During operation of the
defibrillator, remove the endoscope and / or
laparoscope and HF instruments from the patient.
Fire / Explosion
DANGER
Ignitable anaesthetics and gases
The risk of flammable gases or other materials
being ignited exists with any surgical application of
electrical energy. Precautionary measures must be
taken to keep flammable materials and substances
away from the site of intervention (do not use
flammable anaesthetics, nitrous oxide or oxygen).
Otherwise, explosion or fire may result and cause
serious injuries. This electrosurgical generator is
not explosion-proof. Do not use the electrosurgical
generator within an explosion zone.
WARNING
Ignitable gas in the gastro-intestinal tract
If the intestines contain a flammable gas, replace
this gas with air or a non-flammable gas before
performing the operation, to minimize the risk of
fire or explosion.
