Stryker Crossfire Bedienungsanleitung Seite 8

3. Electrosurgical components, such as the probe, may remain hot
following activation. Keep all electrosurgical equipment away from
flammable materials to avoid combustion.
4. To prevent the risk of fire, DO NOT replace console fuses. If it is
suspected that fuses are damaged, return console to Stryker for repair.
5. Flammable agents used for cleaning or disinfecting, or as solvents of
adhesives, should be allowed to evaporate before using the Crossfire™
system. There is a risk of pooling of flammable solutions under the
patient or in body depressions such as the umbilicus, and in body
cavities such as the vagina. Any fluid pooled in these areas should be
mopped up before Crossfire™ system is used. Attention should be called
to the danger of ignition of endogenous gases. Some materials, for
example cotton and gauze, when saturated with oxygen may be ignited
by sparks produced in normal use of the Crossfire™ system.
