Force FX Electrosurgical Generator C Service Manual 3-9
Class I Equipment (IEC 60601-1)
Accessible conductive parts cannot become live in the event of a basic insulation failure
because of the way in which they are connected to the protective earth conductor.
Type CF Eq uipment (IEC 60601-1)/Defibrillator Proof
Liquid Spillage (IEC 60601-2-2 Clause 44.3)
The Force FX Electrosurgical Generator C enclosure is constructed so that liquid spillage in
normal use des not wet electrical insulation or other components which when wetted are
likely to adversely affect the safety of the equipment.
Electromagnetic Interference
When placed on or beneath an activated Valleylab electrosurgical generator, the Force FX
Electrosurgical Generator C operates without interference. The generator minimizes
electromagnetic interference to video equipment used in the operating room.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2 and
IEC 60601-2-2)
The Force FX Electrosurgical Generator C complies with the appropriate IEC 60601-1-2
and IEC 60601-2-2 specifications regarding electromagnetic compatibility.
The Force FX Electrosurgical Generator C provides a high
degree of protection against electric shock, particularly
regarding allowable leakage currents.It is type CF isolated
(floating) output and may be used for procedures involving
the heart.
The Force FX Electrosurgical Generator C patient return
electrode terminal is protected from defibrillator discharge
according to ANSI/AAMI HF18 and IEC 60601-2-2.
Notice
The Force FX Electrosurgical Generator C should not be used adjacent to or stacked with
equipment other than specified in the Force FX Electrosurgical Generator C
User Guide and
Service Manual. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the Force FX
Electrosurgical Generator C
should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
