ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATOR ESG-400
W7.091.601
WARNING
Always
use
compatible
split
type
neutral
electrodes. When using non-split electrodes the
contact quality monitor does not work and no
warning signal will occur in case of loss contact
between the neutral electrode and the patient.
CAUTION
Always use split type neutral electrodes if possible.
By using a non-split neutral electrode the contact
quality monitor does not work. An unintended
detachment of the neutral electrode will not be
detected and this may result in patient burns.
Non-split neutral electrode
If a non-split type neutral electrode is connected to the electrosurgical
generator, it is not possible to detect any detachment of the neutral electrode
from the patient. The electrosurgical generator displays a confirmation window
on the touch-screen if a non-split neutral electrode has been connected. A
confirmation by the user is required. This is to avoid the use of non-split neutral
electrodes which is not explicit intended by the user.
The contact quality monitor indicator for non-split neutral electrode will light
green when detecting a non-split type neutral electrode (see “Specifications” in
the Appendix).
CAUTION
No error message or audible signal will be
generated if an unintended detachment of the non-
split neutral electrode occurs. Therefore, it is not
recommended to use non-split neutral electrodes.
