10. Protective measures and warnings
Please observe also the instructions provided on working with the neutral electrode in chapter
8.5, the operating instructions with the accessories and the applicable safety measures!
Before any procedure, check the cables, accessories (handles,
defective insulation. These can result in burns if they come into
The unit should only be operated at a mains socket with protective earth contact.
When performing electrosurgical procedures, the risk of burns must be kept as small as possible. For
this, the following safety measures must be observed:
All plug-in connections may only be carried out with compatible accessories.
Use the greatest care when working with the neutral conductor!
Protect the patient from contact with earthed metallic elements (OP table, infusion stand
etc.) during use.
Avoid mechanical overstressing of the device beyond the structural design, this can lead to
breakage and loss of function!
Avoid the simultaneous use of HF surgery and electrically grounded electrodes and
sensors of diagnostic devices!
Avoid contact between supply cables and patients, other cables or instruments!
Ensure that there are no loops in the cables of handles and electrodes or fixture to the OP
table.
Avoid small-area skin-to-skin contact in the patient (e.g. a finger making contact with the
thigh).
Avoid contact between HF instruments and non-insulated instruments.
Prevent the penetration of fluids between the patient's body and the neutral electrode.
The output power should not be set higher than is absolutely necessary for the procedure.
Do not touch the patient during activation of the coagulation or cutting current. Should this
be necessary, a piece of fabric can be used for insulation purposes.
In patients connected to monitoring devices (ECG), the monitoring electrodes must be
attached at the greatest possible distance to the application areas of the electrosurgical
electrodes.
