Damage to the unit and accessories
WARNING
Electric load on instrument too high
The instrument can be damaged.
If the damaged area comes into contact with tissue, it can lead to un-
intentional coagulation.
Determine the electrical capacity of the instrument. It is either
printed on the instrument or can be found in the user manual.
Compare the electrical capacity of the instrument with the maxi-
mum HF peak voltage of the required mode.
Instructions are available in the "Accessories" chapter of the VIO
user manuals.
WARNING
Use of non-approved internal cables by Technical Service
This can result in the increased emission of electromagnetic waves or
reduce the immunity of the device.
Risk of injury to the patient.
The unit may fail or not perform properly.
Technical Service may only use the internal cables that are listed
in the service manual for the device.
Notes
Grounding
Note: If necessary, the equipment can be connected to the external grounding system
of the room with the grounding pin on the back of the unit and/or Cart using a con
-
necting cable designed for this purpose. Affects of low frequency leakage currents due
to a defective grounding system within the room may be eliminated through external
grounding.
Use of a defibrillator
Note: All HF sockets and the return electrode socket (applied parts) meet Type CF re-
quirements and are protected against the effects of defibrillator discharge.
Measures against smoke during
electrosurgical procedures
Note: Erbe recommends using a smoke extraction system, protective goggles, and a
respirator.
