5.4 Danger of fire in bodily cavities
Before using the APC always ensure that there are no combusti-
ble or fire-supporting gases in the lumen of the organ involved.
5.5 Gas embolisms, gas emphysema
To prevent gas embolisms, the argon flow rate must not be set
high enough that argon is blown into open vessels. To prevent
gas embolisms or emphysema, never point the distal end of APC-
applicators/APC probes directly towards open vessels or press
against tissue.
5.6 Danger of unintentional damage to nerve
structures
Bear in mind that during an APC application in the direct vicinity
of nerve structures stimulation may be induced by electric cur-
rents.
In the case of nerves which require protection it is advisable to
keep the APC activation time short and adapt maximum power
output to the required indication.
