11. Special care is necessary concerning the patient’s hair in the treated
area if the patient has hair (e.g. pubic hair or at head-hair or hair on
breast (for men)), because the burning and the mistreating is very likely.
Please shave the treated area before treatment if necessary, or at least
please make very tight control of the treatment, using small power for a
longer time. If you are not able to shave the treated area, please put
ultrasound/ECG gel on the hair for better contact. Please ask the
patient about their cavities (bladder, stomach, pleural cavity, etc.)
sensing. Stop the treatment immediately if anything unusual happens
near the cavities, and continue it only when the hair is removed.
12. Check the patient and ask about their feelings frequently.
13. Check the water-cooling of the electrode before positioning it.
14. At rearranging and/or positioning the applicator, please pause/stop the
treatment.
15. In case of any necessary medical aid (injection, infusion, etc.) please
pause/stop the treatment.
16. Stop the treatment immediately if anything unusual happens (eg.
eritema, burning, etc.) and ask help of a trained doctor if it is needed.
17. Be careful with temperature measurements and other controlling units.
Any metallic part could be an antenna. Using any non-Oncotherm
product to control is prohibited. Do not use any system-independent
electric device during the treatment. It can cause electric shock due to
the broken safety isolation.
18. Credit-cards and/or any other magnetically sensitive products
(diskettes, tapes, etc.) are recommended not to be kept near the
treatment. No guarantee of not losing the information from the data-
carriers.
19. Do not treat near the eyes of the patient. The direct RF-radiation can
cause temporary or permanent blindness. The treatment of the head
requires special training at one of the OncoTherm reference clinics. For
brain treatment, please follow the protocol detailed in Appendix 8 of
the User’s manual.
20. Do not clean the electrodes while the equipment is on! Do not use such
wet textile-tissue that could release water which might penetrate into
any part of the equipment!
