Continuous monitor
interference
1.
Faulty chassis-to-ground
connections
1.
Check and correct the chassis ground
connections for the monitor and, if applicable,
for the generator.
Check other electrical equipment in the room
for defective grounds.
2.
Electrical equipment is grounded
to different objects rather than a
common ground. The generator
may respond to the resulting
voltage differences between
grounded objects.
2.
Plug all electrical equipment into line power at
the same location.
3.
Malfunctioning monitor
3.
Replace the monitor.
Interference with other
devices only when
generator is activated
1.
Metal-to-metal sparking
1.
Check all connections to the generator, patient
return electrode, and accessories.
2.
High settings used for fulguration
2.
Use lower power settings for fulguration or
select the low (desiccate) mode.
3.
Electrically inconsistent ground
wires in the operating room
3.
Verify that all ground wires are as short as
possible and go to the same grounded metal.
4.
If interference continues when the
generator is activated, the monitor
is responding to radiated
frequencies.
4.
Check with the manufacturer of the monitor.
Some manufacturers offer RF choke filters for
use in monitor leads. The filters reduce
interference when the generator is activated
and minimize the potential for an
electrosurgical burn at the site of the monitor
electrode.
