6.3 Safety feature for baby neutral electrodes
WARNING
Baby neutral electrode setting
When using neutral electrodes for newborns (patient weight less than 5 kg), the function
[Baby neutral electrode] must be switched on. Otherwise, the electrosurgical generator can
not detect the current ow’s critical value of 350 mA. There is the risk of severe burns to the
baby patient.
‒ Ensure that the function [Baby neutral electrode] is switched on, i.e. a baby symbol is
shown within the neutral electrode indicator.
‒ Use the lowest power settings that are appropriate for the intended procedure.
‒ Use short activation intervals, as this reduces the heating between the neutral electrode
and the newborn’s skin to a minimum.
