2.7.2 Placement of the Dispersive Electrode or Patient Return Electrode
When using an electrosurgical system, it is very important that all of the current delivered to the
patient returns correctly to the LEEP PRECISION Generator via the Patient Return Electrode only .
•
Connect the Dispersive Electrode to socket
•
The patient must be positioned correctly on the operating table . The patient and operator must
not come in contact with any metal conductive surfaces .
•
The Patient Return Electrode must securely contact a vascular area close to the operating site . For a
gynecology procedure, the preferred site is the patient's thigh . The contact area must be clean, free of body
lotions, shaved, and massaged for good circulation . The Patient Return Electrode contact area must be
maximized and frequently checked for uniform contact during the procedure, especially if the patient has
moved or if liquids have come in contact with the Patient Return Electrode . The Patient Return Electrode
must NEVER be placed so as to allow the patient's heart to be in the pathway from the active electrode .
•
Power delivery to the operative site may be decreased appreciably if alternate pathways exist; for example,
through the metal operating table, crossed Active Electrode/Patient Return Electrode Cables, etc .
