WARNING
intended use.
►
Do not use the device in explosion-hazard zones.
►
When operating in the head or thoracic region,
avoid using combustible anesthetics and accel-
erating gases (e.g. nitrous oxide or oxygen) or,
when using such substances, ensure they are
extracted from the region of operation.
►
If possible, use incombustible cleaning and dis-
infecting agents.
►
If combustible cleaning and disinfecting agents
or solvents have to be used: Verify that such
agents have evaporated prior to commencing HF
surgery.
►
Ensure that no combustible fluids accumulate
under the patient or in body cavities (e.g. the
vagina). Wipe off all fluids before using the HF
surgical device.
►
Ensure the absence of any endogenous, combus-
tible gases.
►
Check that oxygen-soaked materials (e.g.
absorbent cotton or mull) are kept at a safe dis-
tance from the HF field, so that they cannot
ignite.
Risk of interference with other devices!
Even during normal use, the HF surgical device cre-
CAUTION ates electromagnetic fields that can interfere with
other devices.
►
Check that no electronic devices that could be
subject to interference by electromagnetic
fields are set up in the vicinity of the HF surgical
device.
Restriction to view and/or side-effects due to the
development of steam/smoke during HF surgery!
►
If necessary, use smoke suction.
CAUTION
►
Ensure that the device does not come in direct contact with the patient
