Potential Interactions With Other Device - Bolder Surgical CoolSeal Generator Instrucciones De Uso

Potential interactions with other devices:
Condition:
Continuous monitor
interference
Pacemaker interference
Internal Cardiac Defibrillator
(ICD) activation
Interference with other
devices only when the
CoolSeal Generator is
™
activated
Bolder Surgical
Causes:
Malfunctioning monitor
Faulty chassis-to-ground connections
Electrical equipment is grounded to
different objects rather than a common
ground.
CoolSeal Generator may respond
™
to the resulting voltage differences
between grounded objects.
If interference continues when the
CoolSeal Generator is activated, the
™
monitor is responding to radiated
frequencies.
Intermittent connections or
metal- to-metal sparking
ICD is activated by CoolSeal Generator
™
Electrically inconsistent ground wires in
the operating room
If interference continues when the
CoolSeal Generator is activated,
™
the device is responding to radiated
frequencies.
To Resolve:
Refer to Monitor's Instructions for Use to Troubleshoot.
Check and correct the chassis ground connections for the monitor and for
the CoolSeal
Generator.
™
Check other electrical equipment in the room for defective grounds.
Connect all electrical equipment into line power at the same location.
Contact your biomedical engineering department or a Bolder Surgical
technical service representative for assistance.
Ask your biomedical engineering department to check with the
manufacturer of the monitor. Some manufacturers offer RF choke
filters for use in monitor leads. The filters reduce interference when
the CoolSeal Generator is activated and minimize the potential for an
™
electrosurgical burn at the site of the monitor electrode.
Always monitor patients with pacemakers during surgery and keep a
defibrillator available.
Stop the procedure and contact the ICD manufacturer for instructions.
Verify that all ground wires are as short as possible and go to the same
grounded metal.
Ask your biomedical engineering department to check with the
manufacturer of the device.
