ELECTROSURGICAL UNIT PSD-30
Chapter 5 Operation
This unit must be used by a physician who has been sufficiently trained by the
facility in clinical endoscopic techniques, cutting and coagulation of living tissue,
and emergency treatment. This manual, therefore, does not explain or discuss
these issues. Detailed evaluations of these issues should be made by those who
have received such training.
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.
• Use only Olympus endo-therapy accessories for fiberscopes
or videoscopes. If other combinations are used, the full
responsibility is assumed by the medical treatment facility.
For details, refer to the instruction manual for the accessory.
If you have any questions concerning the applicability of your
accessory, please contact Olympus.
• Wear personal protective equipment to guard against
dangerous chemicals and potentially infectious material.
During operation, wear appropriate personal protective
equipment, such as eye wear, face mask, moisture-resistant
clothing and chemical-resistant waterproof gloves that fit
properly and are long enough so that your skin is not
exposed.
• Precautions for incision of mucous membrane
−
When performing marking, set the output level and output
time to the lowest necessary limits at which safe marking
is possible. Otherwise, perforation and/or bleeding may
result.
−
To prevent patient burns, be sure that you see the tip of
the electrosurgical accessory in the endoscopic image
during output.
−
Do not output while the tunica muscularis are snared.
Otherwise, perforation and/or bleeding may result.
