9.12.
One should remember that non-disposable generator accessories
are not sterile
.
9.13.
High-frequency leakage currents can cause burns in spots distant from the electrode
application spot, if connected through conductive elements.
9.14.
The often-used “by-tools” coagulation technique should be applied only when using
properly insulated forceps. There are special forceps with insulated handles (find out more
from EMED representatives). Surgical gloves do not sufficiently protect the operator from
burns. One should never use this technique together with spray coagulation.
9.15.
During spray coagulation, one should keep a safe distance from one’s fingers and the
metal parts of endoscope and fiberscope optics.
9.16.
While designing electrosurgical generators, EMED paid special attention to the
tightening requirements regarding electromagnetic emissions. As a result, solutions that
ensure minimal emission levels were selected to fulfill current and future requirements. On-
site measurements confirm a high level of electromagnetic safety in the EMED diathermy.
Under typical work conditions, an 8-hour daily exposure field occurs at a distance of 5 to 15
cm away from the work cables. Further than 20-40 cm away, the field falls below the
acceptable value without a time limit.
Electromagnetic fields appear mainly around cables, and the diathermy itself is not a
significantly emitting element.
