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 combustible cleaning and disinfecting agents
or solvents have to be used: Verify that such
agents have evaporated prior to commencing HF
surgery.

under the patient or in body cavities (e.g. the
vagina). Wipe off all fluids before using the HF
surgical device.
►
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.
