Cautions
Caution
At no time should you touch the active electrode or bipolar forceps. A burn could
result.
Do not stack equipment on top of the generator or place the generator on top of
electrical equipment. These configurations are unstable and/or do not allow
adequate cooling.
Provide as much distance as possible between the electrosurgical generator and
other electronic equipment (such as monitors). An activated electrosurgical
generator may cause interference with them.
Nonfunction of the generator may cause interruption of surgery. A backup
generator should be available for use.
Do not turn the activation tone down to an inaudible level. The activation tone
alerts the surgical team when an accessory is active.
When using a smoke evacuator in conjunction with the electrosurgical generator,
place the smoke evacuator at a distance from the generator and set the generator
volume control at a level that ensures that the activation tones can be heard.
The use of high frequency current can interfere with the function of other
electromagnetic equipment.
When high frequency surgical equipment and physiological monitoring equipment
are used simultaneously on the same patient, place any monitoring electrodes as
far as possible from the surgical electrodes.
Do not use needles as monitoring electrodes during electrosurgical procedures.
Inadvertent electrosurgical burns may result.
To avoid the possibility of an electrosurgical burn to either the patient or the
physician, do not allow the patient to come in contact with a grounded metal
object during activation. When activating the unit, do not allow direct skin contact
between the patient and the physician.
Remove any loose fitting jewelry from the patient before activation.
