incorrect application of the patient-plate.
To avoid or reduce the common HF electrosurgical risks it is very important to respect the
rules and safety measurements exposed illustrate on the next chapter.

SAFETY

WARNING: Electro-surgery can be dangerous. Careless use of any element in the elec-
trosurgical system may subject the patient to a serious burn. Read and understand all
warnings, precautions, and directions for use before attempt to use any active electrode.
Neither LED SpA, can be considered responsible for personal, material or consequential
injury, loss or damage that results from improper use of the equipment and accessories.
The accessories supplied with the unit have characteristics compatible with this sup-
plied unit, they could be incompatible with others electrosurgical units; the user must
check, before connecting other accessories to this unit, that they have characteristics of
insulation compatible with those of this unit and utilized function (see Technical Charac-
teristics).
It is recommended to inspect the integrity of the packaging of the sterile products.

General
The following precautions reduce the risk of accidental burnings
●
The whole surface of the patient plate must be placed on a well-vascularized
muscle as next as possible to surgical area. Avoid connecting the patient plate to
bony protrusions, prosthesis, cicatricial tissues, and parts of the body subjected
to liquid accumulation or that present subcutaneous adipose tissue. The part of
the body must be without hair, dry and clean. Do not use alcohol to clean the
skin. Unless for veterinary use, the use of gelatinoids substances for the elec-
trodes is not advised.
●
By using the disposable neutral electrodes respect the date of expire.
●
By using the reusable electrodes ascertain that the fixing systems give warranty
of stability.
●
When you apply the neutral electrode avoid the transversal course and prefer
the vertical or diagonal course, in particular if a split neutral electrode is used.
That to allow a uniform distribution of the current on the surface of the neutral
electrode and reduce the risk of burn to the patient.
●
The patient does not must be in contact with metal parts that are connected to
the earth or have a large electrical coupling capacity to the earth (for example:
operating-table or metallic support). The use of antistatic sheets is advised.
●
Avoid the skin to skin contact (for example between arm and body of the patient).
Insert an interface material like dry surgical gauze. Moreover, the parts of the
body subjected to abundant perspiration must be maintained dry.
