risks to the patient.
Fire Hazard Do not place active accessories
near or in contact with flammable materials
(such as gauze or surgical drapes),
flammable gases, or high levels of oxygen.
Electrosurgical accessories that are activated
or hot from use can cause a fire. When not
using active accessories, place them in a
holster or in a clean dry, nonconductive, and
highly visible area not in contact with the
patient. Inadvertent contact with the patient
may result in burns.

Warning
Fire/Explosion Hazard The following
substances contribute to increased fire and
explosion hazards in the operating room:
• Flammable substances (such as alcohol
based skin prepping agents and
tinctures)
• Naturally occurring flammable gases
which may accumulate in body cavities
such as the bowel
• Oxygen enriched atmospheres
• Oxidizing agents (such as nitrous oxide
[N
O] atmospheres)

The sparking and heating associated with
electrosurgery can provide an ignition
source. Observe fire precautions at all times.
When using electrosurgery in the same room
with any of these substances or gases,
prevent their accumulation or pooling under
surgical drapes, or within the area where
electrosurgery is performed.
Fire/Explosion Hazard Verify that all
oxygen circuit connections are leak free
before and during the use of electrosurgery.
Verify that endotracheal tubes are leak free,
and the cuff is properly sealed to prevent
oxygen leaks. Enriched oxygen atmospheres
may result in fires and burns to patients or
the surgical team.
Position surgical electrode cables to avoid
contact with the patient or other leads.
When not in use, place active accessories in a
holster or in a clean, dry, nonconductive, and
highly visible area not in contact with the
patient. Inadvertent contact with the patient
may result in burns.
Before installing or removing the electrode,
ensure that the handset is not connected to
the electrosurgical generator, or the
generator is OFF or in Standby mode, if
available.
Confirm proper electrosurgical generator
power settings before proceeding with
surgery. Use the lowest power settings to
achieve the desired surgical effect.
