Normal Deactivation And Emergency Deactivation Procedures; Recommendations For Use - Carlo De Giorgi 640/00 Manual De Instrucciones De Uso Y Mantenimiento

ELECTROSURGICAL KNIFE
Note that the appliance will assume alarm status after 20 seconds of
continuous use; this condition is signalled by illumination of the red AL
indicator (2) and a simultaneous intermittent beeping to inform the
operator that the current operation must be terminated as rapidly as
possible without prejudice to the patient; to continue using the appliance
without the alarm condition it must be switched off for approximately 10
seconds (by setting the main power switch to OFF).
The appliance can also be utilized without the ground electrode; this
procedure is permitted only for performing epilation or for low power
operations (less than 1/3 of the maximum output power).

5.2.2 - Normal deactivation and emergency deactivation procedures

The appliance can be deactivated as follows:
- by releasing the button on the handpiece or the pedal control;
- by setting the main power switch to OFF;
- by unplugging the power cable from the mains socket outlet.

5.2.3 - Recommendations for use

- Use the level of currently strictly necessary in relation to the
operational conditions and the conditions of the patient's tissue,
keeping the knife in constant movement without exerting pressure.
- Keep the knife electrode tip clean.
- The CUT setting delivers higher current to allow cleaner incisions; the
COAG setting is suitable for working on haemorrhagic areas or
bleeding tissue in general.
- If you find that cutting power is insufficient or if fragments of tissue
tend to adhere to the knife electrode, increase output power by turning
potentiometer (5) clockwise.
- Sparking in the area of the electrode indicates that output power is too
high; in this case reduce power by turning potentiometer (5) counter-
clockwise.
