Argon Handle and Electrodes
Unintended activation of the Argon handle can cause injury to the
patient:
Do not lay any instrument on the patient.
Danger of gas emphysema:
Never put the gas outlet jet of the rigid Argon electrodes directly
on the tissue during gas activation.
Danger of embolism:
Never blow Argon into the vascular system.
Danger by increased intra-abdominal pressure:
With laparoscopic applications the Argon glas flow increases
the intra-abdominal pressure. It is recommended that electronic
pressure discharge CO
monitor the intra-abdominal pressure and, if necessary,
discharge pressure via the trocar!
Unintentional activation of the Argon handle directly in front of the
endoscope optics can destroy this:
The Argon plasma beam must not be directed onto the camera
chip during endoscopic applications with video endoscopes.
Wrong or bad Argon gas can cause injury to the patient:
Argon having 4.8 quality is germ-free in the gas bottle
(manufacturing condition). In order to guarantee the germ-free
condition, the valve on the bottle and the gas outlet on the gas
supply device must be disinfected before connection.
Preparing the instrument
Gas sterilisation and hot air sterilisation can damage the
instrument.
Person-related safety instructions
Wrong adjustment of the HF generator can cause injury to the
patient:
Select the HF generator and its settings according to the
requirements of the Argon handle.
Patients with cardiac pacemakers
Malfunctions or destruction of the cardiac pacemaker can cause
danger to life or irreversible injury to the patient.
Never carry out ambulant operations on patients having
cardiac pacemakers.
With patients having cardiac pacemakers, consult the
cardiologist before applying HF surgery.
Set the demand pacemaker to the fixed frequency.
Ensure that the cardiac pacemaker does not come into contact
with the HF electrode.
Keep an operational defibrillator ready at hand.
Carry out a post-operative cardiac pacemaker examination.
