WARNING
Tissue structures / vessels with a cross-section that is small or
becoming smaller
If monopolar HF current flows through parts of the body with a rela-
tively small cross-section, there is a risk of unintentional coagulation
for the patient!
If possible, use the bipolar coagulation technique.
Activation signal not audible
You do not hear the signal when the electrosurgical unit is activated.
Risk of burns to the patient and medical personnel!
Adjust the activation signal so that it is clearly audible.
WARNING
Undesirable contact between the active instrument and metal
objects in the patient's body
Contact with metal hemostats, etc.
Risk of burns to the patient!
Do not touch metal objects (e.g. implants) in the patient's body
with the active instrument.
A hand-held metal instrument is touched with the active instru-
ment (electrode)
Risk of hand burns!
Such practice is not recommended. The risk of burns cannot be
ruled out.
Inadvertent tissue damage
WARNING
Safety margin between the active instrument and sensitive tissue
structures too narrow
Adjacent structures can be damaged by the thermal effect of electro-
surgery.
Ensure that there is a sufficient safety margin between the active
instrument and sensitive tissue structures (e.g. nerves, muscles).
CAUTION
Electrically conductive implants can redirect or concentrate cur-
rent flow.
Risk of burns for the patient and possible damage to the implant.
In the case of patients wearing electrically conductive implants,
consult the manufacturer of the implant or the relevant specialist
department of your hospital prior to surgery.
