CAUTION
Risk of injury to the patient and user
There is a risk of sparkover leading to electrical injury, thermal
injury and unintended nerve stimulation.
● The maximum output voltage of the electrosurgical generator
must not exceed the lowest maximum rated voltage of any of
the HF equipment used during the procedure.
● Check the maximum rated voltage of the HF cable and of the
other HF equipment.
CAUTION
Using physiological monitoring equipment
Current can ow to the monitoring electrodes and can cause
thermal injury where the monitoring electrodes are attached.
Especially, the use of needle electrodes can result in burns to the
patient.
● Place the physiological monitoring electrodes as far away as
possible from the electrodes of the HF instrument.
● Do not use needle monitoring electrodes.
● Use physiological monitoring equipment with HF current
limiting measures.
CAUTION
Risk of injury to the patient
For patients with implanted electronic devices, e.g. pacemakers
or debrillators, conrm its safety with a cardiologist or the
manufacturer of the implanted electronic device before the
procedure.
● Be aware that the connected HF instruments extend the BF
or CF applied part of the electrosurgical generator.
CAUTION
Risk of injury to the patient
Unintended current ow can cause injury to the patient
● The patient must be insulated against all electrically
conductive parts. Check that the patient does not come in
contact with other metal parts (e.g., operating table) in any
case.
● Ground the operating table.
