1. Safe handling
These instructions for use are not suitable for in-
structing a beginner in surgical techniques with
high frequency devices. This documentation does
DANGER
not contain a general description of the applica-
tions of high frequency surgical devices (see the
O.R. manual and other relevant literature).
Only allow persons to use the product and its
accessories who possess the requisite training,
knowledge and experience to do so.
Prior to operating the device, check thoroughly to ensure that it is
working properly and that it is not damaged in any way.
To prevent damage caused by improper assembly or use and in or-
der not to compromise the warranty and liability:
- Use the product only according to these instructions for use.
- Follow the safety and maintenance instructions.
- Only combine Aesculap products with each other.
- Use the device in conformance with prevailing standards (see
Safe handling in conformance with IEC regulations).
Accessories must be inspected regularly: Electrode cables and en-
doscopic accessories, in particular, must be checked for possible
damage to the insulation.
Keep the instructions for use accessible for the O.R. personnel.
Adhere to prevailing standards.
1.1 Safe handling in conformance with IEC
regulations
Operating environment
Certain applications of HF devices can cause sparks!
Do not use the device in an area where there is a risk of explosion.
When performing operations on the cranial and thoracic regions,
either avoid the use of explosive anaesthetic gases and inflamma-
ble gases (e.g. laughing gas, oxygen) or suck away these substanc-
es.
Only use non-flammable cleaning and disinfecting agents and sol-
vents (for adhesives).
If flammable cleaning and disinfecting agents or solvents are used:
Be sure that these substances have evaporated before using HF
surgery.
Be sure that no inflammable liquids accumulate under the patient's
body or in body cavities (e.g., the vagina). Before using the HF de-
vice, wipe up all fluids.
Be sure there are no endogenous gases in the O.R. environment
that could ignite.
Be sure that any materials that were soaked in liquid oxygen (e.g.,
cotton wool, gauze) are kept far enough away from the HF environ-
ment that they cannot ignite.
Risk of damage to other devices!
HF devices create potentially harmful magnetic
fields during normal use.
WARNING
Be sure that no electronic devices that could be
influenced by an electromagnetic field are set
up in the vicinity of the HF device.
