How to use

4.1 Correct patient positioning for electrosurgery
WARNING! Always position the patient in such a way that they
are electrically insulated on a dry, absorbent, leak-proof sheet.
Pay attention to the following:
• The patient must be fully electrically insulated (body and all
extremities).
• No patient contact with metal parts (e.g. operating tables,
brackets, jewelry).
• No patient contact with liquids (e.g. disinfectants, perspira-
tion, bodily fluids, wet sheets). The only exception to this rule
is the use of contact medium for this neutral electrode (see
the section "Accessories").
• Avoid skin-to-skin contact; where appropriate, insulate us-
ing dry cloths/gauze (extremities of the body, between folds
of the body).
• No patient contact with other materials that conduct elec-
tricity (e.g. ventilation tubes, tubes filled with IV fluid, staff
jewelry).
• If liquid collects beside or underneath the patient during sur-
gery, dry it immediately.
4.2 Only use cleaned and disinfected products
Clean and disinfect the product before using it for the first time
and before each subsequent use.
1.) The skin-moistening contact medium specified in these instructions
has been verified as compatible by Erbe. Other contact media may
be used at the discretion of the user and must where necessary be
validated by users themselves in accordance with national or local
requirements.
