before use according to the instructions.
• Use the shaft only with a compatible probe. Note the different lengths.
• Select the cable according to the RF/HF generator available. Note the different plugs.
• Image interference on the monitor can be minimized if
• the RF/HF cable is not led directly parallel with the camera cables,
• the RF/HF cable is not looped,
• the RF/HF generator is not switched on until the assembled Vaporflex
• The power output of the RF/HF generator must be checked before each use and set up for the follwing application.
Please follow the instructions for use of the RF/HF generator and the general instructions for electrosurgery.
WARNINGS AND POTENTIAL RISKS
• The use of non-flammable agents for cleaning and disinfection is recommended wherever possible; flammable agents
for cleaning, disinfecting, or as solvents of adhesives shall be allowed to evaporate before application of RF/HF surgery;
there is a risk of pooling of flammable solutions under the patient or in body depressions and in body cavities; fluids
pooled in body depressions and cavities should be mopped up before RF/HF devices are used.
• Incorrect use of RF/HF current can cause endogenous and exogenous burns and explosions. Check before use that the
power output set on the RF/HF generator is not higher than required for the surgical procedure. Details can be found in
the instructions for use of the RF/HF generator.
• Before increasing power output because of insufficient coagulation, always check whether:
• all connection contacts on the Vaporflex
• the foot switch is functioning perfectly,
• the insulation on the RF/HF cable and the active probe is intact.
• joimax probes may still be hot immediately after deactivation. Probes that have just been used, as well as temporarily
®
unused probes, must not be placed on the patient or other flammable materials. They must be stored in a separate,
insulated place.
• Only non-combustible gases (e.g. CO
• The functions that occur with proper use of the RF/HF generator can cause some materials, such as cotton and gauze,
to ignite if they are saturated with oxygen.
• Connect the device to the RF/HF generator only when it is not activated.
• Do not activate the instrument when not in contact with target tissue.
• Ensure that insulated parts do not come in contact with hard, pointed or heavy objects during preparation, as such
objects may damage the insulation and render the product unsuitable.
