-related error prevention
WARNING Improper use
The safety and effectiveness of electrosurgical interventions depend not only o
n the design of
the equipment used, but also to a major extent on factors which are under the control of the
user. It is therefore extremely important to read, understand and follow the instructions supplied
with the electrosurgical generator and the accessories in order to ensure safety and
effectiveness.
Always use the electrosurgical generator as outlined in this
maintenance manual. Improper use
will not only impede functions and prevent optimum performance, but may cause equipment
damage and
/ or compl
ications. Before each use, always inspect the equipment as outlined in
this
maintenance manual.
WARNING Annual safety checks / Inspection
The electrosurgical generator and the footswitch must undergo a safety check in yearly intervals
in accordance with
the national statutory regulations (refer to chapter 7 “Inspection”).
conditions
CAUTION Interference of the unit with other equipment
Be sure that this electrosurgical unit is not used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment
(other than the components of this electrosurgical unit or system) to avoid electromagnetic
interference.
Before use, thoroughly confirm the compatibility of all equipment.
To ensure electrical safety, the electrosurgical unit should not be used in conjunction w
ith:
• Electrical equipment whose safety against leakage current is not guaranteed.
• Electrosurgical equipment whose safety in combined use is not guaranteed.
The electrosurgical generator complies with the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standard.
Never
theless, when the electrosurgical generator is active it may disturb neighboring electronic
equipment. If an auxiliary computer system is in use together with the electrosurgical generator
and endoscopic imaging techniques, the image on the monitor might f
reeze or blackout. Follow
the instructions in “Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) information” in the Appendix of the
instruction for use regarding electromagnetic ambient conditions.
Never loop the cords (active cord, bipolar cord, neutral electrode cor
d) or bundle cords together
with cords belonging to other medical equipment. The high frequency signals or spark discharge
noise generated by the unit may interfere with the operation of other medical equipment.
Do not use the electrosurgical unit in a location exposed to strong electromagnetic radiation
(microwave or short
-
wave medical treatment equipment, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, radio or
mobile phone equipment). Electrosurgical unit malfunction can occur.
CAUTION Unsuitable temperature and humidity
generator
should only be used under the conditions as described in chapter
