2.2. General safety instructions
Ensure that no electronic devices that are subject to interference from
electromagnetic fields are set up in the vicinity of the HF device.
Observe the instructions on electromagnetic compatibility provided in section
EMC, page 120.
Always connect the HF device to a mains power system with a protective
earth lead in order to prevent electric shock.
Additional devices that are connected to electrical medical devices must satisfy
relevant IEC or ISO standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data processing devices).
Furthermore, all configurations must comply with the standardised requirements
for medical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or Section 16 of the 3rd edition of
IEC 60601-1 as relevant). Anyone who connects additional devices to electrical
medical devices is automatically a system configurator and thus responsible for
meeting standardised system requirements. Please note that local laws prevail
over the aforementioned standard requirements. In case of questions, please
contact your local dealer or Technical Service, see section Technical service,
page 73.
To protect personnel, BOWA recommends the use of a smoke evacuator
to extract electrosurgical smoke, e.g. BOWA SHE SHA.
