•
the correct connection of the cables and their connectors;
•
the correct activation of the starting keys (hand-switch of foot-control);
•

POSSIBLE CAUSES OF BURNS
Burns may be caused by a high density of current in the patient's tissues or by the heating of
inflammable fluids or gases. Possible causes are:
•
The patient has inadvertently been placed in contact with electrically-conductive parts.
•
A direct contact has occurred between the cables and the patient's skin, which has caused a
capacitive effect.
•
The combustion of inflammable disinfectant agents.
•
The combustion of inflammable narcotic gases.
