Set-up
Warning
The Electrosurgical Generator must always be connected to an AC power supply with a pro-
tective ground (earth). Do not connect the power supply cord (also referred to as an AC pow-
er cord) if it appears damaged or contaminated, if it has been modified, or if it does not meet
the requirement specified in the product specification table in this Instructions for Use, as
there is a risk of electrical shock to the patient or user.
USA only: Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the equipment receptacle is
marked "Hospital Grade".
Condensation may occur when the unit is moved from a cold area into an area intended for
its use. Allow the Electrosurgical Generator to acclimatize before connecting the power supply
cord and/or turning the Electrosurgical Generator ON. Condensation in the Electrosurgical
Generator may cause a fault to occur if the Electrosurgical Generator is turned ON.
The Electrosurgical Generator weighs approx. 35 lb. (16 kg) and the weight is not evenly dis-
tributed. Care should be taken when lifting the Generator.
Caution
The Electrosurgical Generator may cause electrical interference with other equipment. Op-
eration of the Electrosurgical Generator may be affected adversely due to interference from
other equipment. If interference occurs:
•
Increase the distance between the Electrosurgical Generator and the suspected interfer-
ing equipment in order to reduce interference.
•
Ensure that Electrosurgical Generator cables and connected Instruments are kept as far
away as possible from other equipment cables.
The Electrosurgical Generator, Instruments, Footswitch, and their connection cables should be
positioned such that damage or accidental activation is avoided and that they do not present
a tripping hazard.
There must be clearance of at least 9 cm (3.5 inches) to the rear of the Electrosurgical Gener-
ator to allow for room for Footswitch cable, AC power supply cord, and for exhausting of air
from the Electrosurgical Generator.
The Electrosurgical Generator is equipped with internal cooling fans. The cooling air intakes
are located towards the front both on the underside and on the on the
of the Electrosurgical Generator as viewed from the front of the Electrosurgical Generator. Do
not allow these areas to be blocked.
The Electrosurgical Generator does not use a neutral electrode.
