Risk of infection
WARNING
The unit is contaminated
Danger of infection to the patient and medical personnel.
Follow the instructions for cleaning and disinfecting the unit.
WARNING
Alternate use of disinfectant solutions based on different active
ingredients
The agents may affect one another. The disinfection effect of the dis-
infectant solution may be weakened. Danger of infection to the pa-
tient and medical personnel.
The housing plastic may become brittle and break. A color reaction
may occur with plastics.
Do not use these substances alternately.
Inadvertent tissue damage
Unwanted spark formation in the softCOAG, softCOAG argon, soft-
COAG bipolar, thermoSEAL modes
Risk of thermal damage to tissue.
If you see a spark, end activation.
If the error reoccurs, inform Technical Service.
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).
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.
Position the return electrode so that the implant is not located be-
tween the active electrode (monopolar instrument) and the return
electrode.
