•
DO NOT use electrosurgery in the presence of flammable liquids, such as skin-prepping agents.
Avoid pooling of flammable liquids near the electrosurgery site or in human body cavities such as the
umbilicus or vagina.
•
DO NOT place the electrosurgery active electrode near or in contact with flammable materials, such
as cotton, wool or gauze. The active electrode is hot from use and can cause fire.
•
It is possible that the radio frequency can interfere with the electronic circuitry in pacemakers.
To reduce the risk, locate the patient-return electrode as close as possible to the treatment site and
ensure that the current path between the surgical site and the patient-return electrode is as far
removed from the heart as possible. For the gynecology procedures locate the patient-return
electrode on the patient's upper thigh or under the buttocks. Always monitor pacemaker patients
during surgery. In case of doubt ask the pacemaker manufacturer and/or cardiology department.
•
In case of loss of power, turn the system off.
•
The possibility exists that the radio frequency can interfere with other medical equipment when the
electrosurgical system is operating. To reduce the interference, physically separate the device, utilize
different electrical outlets that are hospital-grounded, do not allow cables to come in contact with each
other, and utilize shielded devices where possible.
•
The fixed output power level should be adjusted to the lowest power setting that will successfully
complete the procedure. Refer to the following recommended power settings for the CooperSurgical

The above settings are for reference only and can be varied based on specific situations and the experience
of the operator.
•
Skin to skin contact, for instance between the patient's arm and body, should be avoided by the
placement of an appropriate separating device such as two to three inches of dry gauze. This will
reduce the potential for alternate site burns.
•
If monitoring, stimulation, imaging or similar devices are used simultaneously with electrosurgery,
the monitoring electrodes must be placed as far as possible from the electrosurgery site and the
patient-return electrode. Position the patient-return electrode close to the electrosurgery site, for
example, on the thigh when treating the cervix. NOTE: Monitoring needle electrodes are not
recommended.
