Chapter 3 Installation and Connection
ELECTROSURGICAL UNIT PSD-30
• To avoid air entrapment, do not fold or wrinkle the patient
plate and make sure that its surface is smooth. The entire
surface of the patient plate should be in direct contact with
the patient’s skin. Incomplete contact between the patient
plate and patient’s skin may result in patient burns.
• If the contact between the electrosurgical unit and P cord,
P cord and the patient plate or the electrosurgical unit and
P adapter is insufficient (when using MB-574), the
patient/S-cord warning indicator will light and output will be
prevented. Reconnect the cords.
According to patient’s physical constitution, the CQM detects
improper contact between the patient plate and the patient’s
skin and an alarm will sound, Patient/S-cord warning
indicator will light and output will be prevented even if the
contact is sufficient. In this case use the non-split type patient
plate (MB-574, 3M 1149/7149). (P cord MAJ-3 and P adapter
MAJ-812 are required when using MB-574).
When using the patient plate
(MAJ-897/3M 1149/1180/7149/7180)
The patient plate (MAJ-897/3M 1149/1180/7149/7180) is a
disposable product. Never reuse it after removing it from the
patient. Attempting to reuse a disposable patient plate could
cause patient burns.
1.
After peeling off the protective film from the patient plate, attach the plate to
the patient’s thigh or place it under the patient’s buttocks.
Connect the patient plate and P cord securely. Otherwise,
high-frequency output may not be activated. In this case, the
electrosurgical accessory could cut the tissue mechanically,
which could cause bleeding and/or perforation to the patient.
2.
After confirming that the P cord (MAJ-814) is free of scratches and cracks,
attach the P cord to the patient plate. Lift the lever-locking arm, then position
the patient plate tab evenly between the clamp jaws. Lock the clamp by fully
depressing the lever-locking arm (see Figure 3.3).
