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 159.
► 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 109.
To protect personnel, BOWA recommends the use of a smoke evacuator to
extract electrosurgical smoke, e.g. BOWA SHE SHA.
