Important Information — Please Read Before Use
ELECTROSURGICAL UNIT PSD-30
• The HF equipment, when applied to a patient with a
pacemaker implanted, may cause malfunctioning or failure of
the pacemaker and may seriously affect the patient. Always
confirm that it is safe to proceed with a cardiologist and the
manufacturer of the pacemaker before proceeding.
• To prevent shock hazards, never apply the PSD-30 to the
heart in combination with TYPE B or TYPE BF applied parts.
• When using the electrosurgical unit 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.
• Never install or operate the electrosurgical unit in locations
where:
−
the concentration of oxygen is high.
−
oxidizing agents (such as nitrous oxide (N
2
O)) are present
in the atmosphere.
−
flammable anesthetics are present in the atmosphere.
−
flammable gases are present in the atmosphere.
Otherwise, explosion or fire may result and cause damage to
human body. Because this electrosurgical unit is not
explosion-proof.
• The PSD-30 has been designed for flexible endoscopic
applications. Therefore, do not use it for surgical operations.
• Always use the S-cord when endoscopic treatment is
performed with an endoscope equipped with the S-cord
connector mount. When using an endoscope without the
S-cord connector mount, refer to the instruction manual and
confirm that the electrosurgery is feasible with this
endoscope. If the electrosurgical unit is used in conjunction
with an endoscope that is not feasible with the
electrosurgery, a burn to the patient, the operator or the
assistant may occur.
• If the electrosurgical unit fails and the output is stopped
during treatment, it may be impossible to continue treatment
due to adhesion of the endo-therapy accessory to a mucous
tissue or other accident. Prepare a spare electrosurgical unit
as backup to ensure that the procedure can be completed
without complication in case of a malfunction.
