ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATOR ESG-400
W7.091.601
WARNING
Ignitable cleaning- and disinfection agents
Flammable agents used for cleaning and
disinfection must be allowed to evaporate
before the electrosurgical generator is used.
Also ensure that flammable solutions are
neither on the patient’s skin (e.g. under neutral
electrode) nor in the patient’s body cavity when
the electrosurgical generator is used.
Non-flammable agents should be used for
cleaning and disinfection wherever possible.
WARNING
Ignitable materials
If absorbent cotton or gauze is used during the
procedure, it can be ignited by a spark
generated in the normal operation of the
equipment.
When performing electrosurgery, sparks occur
which could lead to burning or deflagration of
combustible materials.
Body hair is flammable. Water soluble surgical
lubricating jelly may be used to cover hair close
to the surgical site to decrease flammability.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Disconnect the power plug before changing the
fuses! Replace fuses as marked. The fuses must
only be replaced by authorized technicians!
