ELECTROSURGICAL KNIFE
- The patient must not come into contact with metal parts that are
connected to ground or that have reduced ground impedance (e.g.
operating tables, stands, etc.).
- Avoid all skin-skin contact (e.g. between arms and body); this can be
achieved if the patient is clothed or by interposing dry gauzes.
- If the appliance is used in conjunction with monitoring equipment, all
the monitoring equipment electrodes must be kept as far away as
possible from the intervention site.
- The use of needle type monitoring electrodes should be avoided
wherever possible.
- The appliance cables must be arranged so that they are not in contact
with the patient or with other cables.
- Use the lowest possible output power to obtain the desired results.
- Pay attention to the use of inflammable liquids or gases such as
disinfectants, anaesthetics, solvents, etc.; the appliance is not
designed for use in atmosphere subject to explosion hazards so
ensure that any such substances have been completely eliminated or
evaporated and dispersed before activating the appliance (ensure
there are no residual substances in the area).
- For the above reasons, also pay attention to the presence of
endogenous gases and materials impregnated with oxygen (e.g.
cotton wadding, gauzes, etc.).
- Periodically inspect the accessories, with particular reference to the
condition of insulation of cables and electrodes.
