!
Avoid penetration of liquids between the patient's body and the neutral electrode.
!
The output power should not be set higher than is absolutely necessary for the procedure.
!
Do not touch the patient during activation of the coagulation or cutting current. Should this
be necessary, a piece of fabric can be used for insulation purposes.
!
In patients connected to monitoring devices (ECG), the monitoring electrodes must be
attached at the greatest possible distance to the application areas of the electrosurgical
electrodes.
!
The use of highly flammable narcotic substances and oxidizing gases (N20 or O2) should
be avoided. Should this be necessary, take particular precautions..
Exclusively non-flammable disinfectants must be used. If alcohol-based solutions are
!
required, wait before performing surgery until these have completely evaporated. Bear in
mind that disinfectants can flow down and collect in recesses of the body. A spark from the
active electrode can cause combustion of the fluid in normal use.
!
Sparks from the active electrode can set bandages (textiles), metabolic gases and
combustible fluids alight.
!
In the case of procedures involving high-frequency current applied to body parts with a
minimal cross-section, the bipolar technique should be used in order to prevent the risk of
unintentional coagulation.
!
In the case of procedures on body parts with a close link to the remainder of the body, the
bipolar technique should be used for safety reasons.
!
The frequently used indirect coagulation mode should only be used with well insulated
forceps. We recommend forceps with specially insulated grip areas (ask your
HEBUmedical contact)
!
Surgical gloves do not afford the surgeon sufficient protection from burns!
During surgery, pacemakers are at risk of destruction. We recommend consulting the
!
treating cardiologist and/or an authorized representative of the pacemaker manufacturer.
As a rule, in such cases bipolar application technology is advisable. Electrosurgical
procedures are prohibited on outpatients with pacemakers.
!
A marked drop in power at a normal setting can be an indication of incorrect application of
the neutral electrode.
