Safety information

 

• Make sure that the annual safety check is carried out regularly.

 

• Refer to the information in the section "Annual safety check" on page 86.

 

• Observe national statutory regulations.

The electrosurgical generator is not explosion proof. Using the electrosurgical generator in 

explosive atmosphere will result in serious injury to the patient, the user and the medical 

personnel.

 

• Do not use the electrosurgical generator within an explosive atmosphere.

The electrosurgical generator complies with the standards as described in the chapter 

"Electromagnetic compatibility" on page 92. However, during activation, high frequency 

signals or spark discharge noise generated by the electrosurgical generator can disturb 

neighboring electrical equipment. Malfunction of the devices could occur, e.g. the monitor of 

endoscopic imaging equipment might freeze or black out, which may result in injury to the 

patient.

 

• Follow the instructions regarding electromagnetic ambient conditions given in the chapter 

"Electromagnetic compatibility" on page 92.

 

• Make sure that electrosurgical generator is not used adjacent to or stacked with equipment 

that is not part of this electrosurgical generator or system.

 

• Before use, thoroughly confirm the compatibility of all equipment.

 

• Do not use the electrosurgical generator in conjunction with:

 - Electrical equipment for which the safety against leakage current is not confirmed.

 - Electrosurgical equipment for which the safety in combined use is not confirmed.

 

• Do not loop cables.

 

• Do not bundle cables together with cables belonging to other medical equipment.

Equipment that produces strong electromagnetic radiation can cause malfunction of the 

electrosurgical generator which may result in injury to the patient. Equipment that produces 

strong electromagnetic radiation is, e.g. microwave medical treatment equipment, short-

wave medical treatment equipment, magnetic resonance imaging equipment, radio or 

mobile phones.

 

• Do not use the electrosurgical generator in a location exposed to strong electromagnetic 

radiation.

Using the electrosurgical generator under conditions other than specified can compromise 

the performance and can damage the equipment which may result in patient injury.

 

• Only use the electrosurgical generator according the operating conditions as described in 

the chapter "Specifications" on page 90.
