Safety information

 

• Keep ready a defibrillator.

 

• Before operating the defibrillator, remove all electrosurgical equipment from the patient.

The surgical application of electrical energy can ignite flammable gases, substances and 

materials.

The igniting of flammable gases, especially anaesthetics, will cause serious injuries to the 

patient, the user and the medical personnel.

 

• Take precautionary measures to keep away flammable gases from the site of intervention.

 

• Do not use flammable anaesthetics, e.g. nitrous oxygen or oxygen.

The igniting of flammable substances, e.g. agents for cleaning and disinfection, can cause 

serious injuries to the patient, the user and the medical personnel.

 

• If possible, only use non-flammable agents for cleaning and disinfection.

 

• Before the electrosurgical generator is used, allow flammable substances to evaporate.

 

• Make sure that there are no flammable solutions on the patient’s skin, e.g. under the 

neutral electrode.

 

• Make sure that there are no flammable solutions in the body cavity of the patient.

Sparks that occur during normal operation of the HF equipment can ignite flammable 

materials, e.g. absorbent cotton or gauze and also body hair. This could result in serious 

injuries to the patient, the user and the medical personnel.

 

• Use soluble surgical lubricating jelly to cover hair close to the site of intervention.

 

• Do not apply materials like cotton or gauze simultaneously with the HF instrument to the 

site of intervention.

Flammable gases within the intestines of the patient could cause fire or explosion when 

applying HF current. This could result in serious injury to the patient.

 

• Prior to the HF procedure, replace intestine gases by air or by other non-flammable gases.

Using inadequate fuses can cause electrical fire within the electrosurgical generator. This 

could result in injury to the patient, the user and the medical personnel.

 

• Fuses must only be replaced by a qualified electrician with sufficient experience in 

maintaining medical electrical devices.

 

• Only use fuses as specified in the section “Specifications for the CELON ELITE ESG-200” 

on page 90.

 

• Before changing the fuses, disconnect the electrosurgical generator from the mains 

electricity.
