PULSAR Minimal Stress Installation and operating Manual
OPTIKON 2000
Cod. 111001EN 2012-02-16 Rev.J
3-3
• Before connecting the unit to the mains, or disconnecting it, make sure that
the main switch of the console is off.
• When the PULSAR unit is not in use, keep the main switch turned off.
• To allow time for cooling, the fuses must be replaced after the main switch has
been turned off for a few minutes.
• Replace the fuse with one of the same type, as indicated on the rear panel of
the console.
Diathermy
• Risk of burns or fire; do not use diathermy near conductive materials such as
metal bed parts, inner-spring mattresses, and the like. Renew electrode cables
upon evidence of deterioration.
• Use only original OPTIKON 2000 S.p.A diathermy cables.
• Severe RF burns can result if the diathermy output current is diverted to the
operator by careless handling.
• When the bipolar diathermy handpiece and a monitoring system are used at
the same time, all the electrodes of the monitoring system that are not
protected by resistors or high frequency inductors should be placed as far away
as possible from the diathermy electrodes.
• The cable of the bipolar diathermy should not touch the patient or other
cables.
• Always use the lowest output diathermy power level which is compatible to
the surgical application.
• An evident low output level or a faulty operation of the bipolar diathermy
handpiece, even though the equipment has been set for a normal use, may
indicate a bad contact in the electrodes connection.
• Excessive diathermy for the level of power selected could indicate a fault. In
this case, stop using the system at once.
• During bipolar diathermy handpiece operation, do not use flammable
anaesthetics, nitrogen monoxide, oxygen, unless they are vented by a suitable
aspiration system.
