Never attach the neutral electrode in the vicinity
of a metal implant. The tissue in the vicinity of
the metal implant may get burned.
To avoid air entrapment, do not fold or wrinkle
the neutral electrode and make sure that its
surface is smooth. The entire surface of the
neutral electrode should be in direct contact
with the patient’s skin. Incomplete contact
between the neutral electrode and patient’s skin
may result in patient burns.
Apply the neutral electrode onto patients skin
with the long edge towards the surgical site.
The site where the neutral electrode is intended
to be attached must be clean, dry and free of
hair. Otherwise the neutral electrode can loose
contact. Improper contact between the neutral
electrode and the patient’s skin surface may
cause patient burns. If necessary, remove all
hair from the area to which the neutral electrode
will be attached.
When the patient is moved after the neutral
electrode has been attached, confirm that the
neutral electrode is still in proper contact with
the patient. Otherwise, it may cause patient
and / or user burns.
Avoid placing the neutral electrode over bony
prominences or scar tissue as proper contact
might not be obtainable. This may cause patient
burns.
The neutral electrode should not be reused or
repositioned.
If the contact quality monitor indicator for split
neutral electrodes indicates red either because
the neutral electrode has not been attached
correctly or detached, output may not be
activated. In this case the touch-screen will
display an error window (“Insufficient neutral
electrode contact”, with error no: E202).
If a neutral electrode failure is indicated and an
HF instrument is already placed at the
treatment site, mechanical tissue cutting by the
HF instrument may occur and cause patient
bleeding or perforation.
