If the drapes can become wet during the operation due to sweat,
blood, irrigation liquid, urine, etc., lay a waterproof plastic sheet
under the drapes.
CAUTION
HF leakage current flows through monitoring electrodes
HF current can be discharged through points of contact between the
skin and monitoring electrodes accidentally (HF leakage current).
Risk of burns to the patient!
Position monitoring electrodes as far away as possible from the
surgical field (area where electrosurgical instruments are used).
Do not use needle electrodes for monitoring during electrosur-
gery.
Where possible, use monitoring electrodes that contain devices to
limit high-frequency current.
CAUTION
HF leakage current flows through skin-to-skin points of contact
HF current can be discharged through skin-to-skin points of contact
accidentally (HF leakage current).
Risk of burns to the patient!
Prevent skin-to-skin points of contact. For example, lay dry gauze
between the patient's arms and body.
WARNING
Unintentional activation of the instrument
Risk of burns to the patient and medical personnel!
Put instruments down in a safe place: sterile, dry, non-conductive,
and easy to see. Instruments that have been put down must not
come into contact with the patient, medical personnel, or com-
bustible materials.
Instruments that have been put down must not come into contact
with the patient, not even indirectly. An instrument can come into
contact with the patient indirectly through electrically conductive
objects or wet drapes, for example.
WARNING
Hot instruments
Even non-active instruments that are still hot can burn the patient or
medical personnel.
Put instruments down in a safe place: sterile, dry, non-conductive,
and easy to see. Instruments that have been put down must not
come into contact with the patient, medical personnel, or com-
bustible materials.
Instruments that have been put down must not come into contact
with the patient, not even indirectly. An instrument can come into
contact with the patient indirectly through electrically conductive
objects or wet drapes, for example.
