3.9 Danger of burns

Argon plasma can strongly heat electrically conductive materi-
als, e.g. metal. To avoid burns, never direct argon plasma to-
wards electrically conductive materials.
3.10 Risk of accidental tissue damage with the
APC 300
If the gas bottles of the APC 300 are not opened or are com-
pletely empty, a spray coagulation is performed with the instru-
ment after each activation. There is an audible warning signal;
the bottles on the display of the APC 300 blink and an error
message appears. In the spray coagulation mode there is a dan-
ger of unintentional tissue damage; the instrument can also be
damaged!
Before using the APC 300 always open the gas bottles. Observe
the self-check performed by the unit. How much gas is there
left in the bottles? The bottle symbols on the display of the
APC 300 give an approximate indication of the quantity of gas
remaining.
Never work with two gas bottles which are almost completely
empty. When one gas bottle is empty, the APC 300 switches
over to the second gas bottle automatically.
Always observe the warning signals and error messages.
