1.1

Safe for use in conformance with IEC regulations

The operating environment
Risk of death by electric shock!
Do not open the product.
DANGER
Only ever connect the product to power mains
with equipment grounding conductor.
Risk of injury from ignition or explosion of flam-
mable gases! Sparks may occur when using the HF
generator as directed.
WARNING
Do not use the device in explosion-hazard zones.
When operating in the head or thoracic region,
avoid using combustible anesthetics and accel-
erating gases (e.g. nitrous oxide or oxygen) or,
when using such substances, ensure they are
extracted from the region of operation.
If possible, use incombustible cleaning and dis-
infecting agents.
If combustible cleaning and disinfecting agents
or solvents have to be used: Verify that such
agents have evaporated prior to commencing 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 generator, wipe
up all fluids.
Ensure the absence of any endogenous, combus-
tible gases.
Check that oxygen-soaked materials (e.g.
absorbent cotton or mull) are kept at a safe dis-
tance from the HF field, so that they cannot
ignite.
Risk of interference with other devices!
HF generators create potentially harmful magnetic
fields during normal use.
CAUTION
Be sure that no electronic devices that could be
damaged by an electromagnetic field are set up
in the vicinity of the HF generator.
Restriction to view and/or side-effects due to the
development of steam/smoke during HF surgery!
CAUTION If necessary, use smoke suction.

®
Ensure that the device does not come in direct contact with the patient
or in the sterile area respectively.
Ensure that the user does not come into direct contact with the patient
and HF generator at the same time.
Patient safety
Danger to life from inadequate preparation or
operational errors in the HF generator!
Be sure that the HF generator is in perfect
DANGER
working order.
Ensure that neither the foot switch nor the hand
switch has been penetrated by conductive fluids
(e.g. blood, amniotic fluid).
Ensure there is no short circuit in the foot or
hand switch cables.
Risk of burns suffered by the patient due to inad-
vertent activation of the HF generator!
DANGER Switch off the HF generator immediately using
the power OFF/ON switch in the event that it is
activated accidentally.
Always exercise particular care when operating
the foot switch.
Risk of injury to the patient due to an unintended
rise of the HF output voltage due to a fault in the
HF generator!
DANGER
Stop using the HF surgical device as soon as it
shows even the slightest anomaly.
Risk of injury to patients/users due to defective
power cord or missing protective ground connec-
tions!
WARNING
Check the mains power cord/protective ground
connections.
Danger of injuries due to muscle contraction,
caused by stimulation of the nerves and muscles!
Work with particular care on sensitive struc-
WARNING
tures.
