Installation and Operating Manual
OPTIKON 2000
Cod. 111007EN Rev.E
3-3
• The PULSAR
2
control console should be connected to a mains supply only as
marked on the rear panel. To guarantee safety, a hospital grade power cord
and plug must be used, the unit must be grounded.
• Be sure that the power switch on the control console is off when plugging in,
or removing the power cable from a wall outlet.
• Turn off the main power switch whenever the PULSAR
2
unit is not in use.
• Exchanging fuses should be done a few minutes after the mains switch has been
turned off in order to allow time for cooling.
• Replace fuse as marked.
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 cable
• 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 handpiece 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.
• During bipolar diathermy handpiece operation, do not use flammable
anaesthetics, nitrogen monoxide, oxygen, unless they are vented by a suitable
aspiration system.
