Cleaning unit and handpiece cord

1.
The handpiece cord assembly may be wiped clean with gauze
pads saturated in 70% ethyl alcohol after unplugging from
unit. Before use, dry the connector area thoroughly with a dry
wipe and by gently blowing air on the connector.
2.
The unit may be wiped clean with gauze pads dampened in
70% ethyl alcohol after unplugging the unit. Assure that it is
thoroughly dry before use.
3.
The dispersive electrode assembly may be wiped clean with
gauze pads dampened in 70% ethyl alcohol after unplugging
from the unit. Assure that it is thoroughly dry before use.
CAUTION:
The following test must be performed by
a technician who has been trained in maintenance of
electrosurge units and is aware of the potential for RF burns.

Electrosurge Analyzer

The use of an electrosurgical device analyzer to measure
performance of the PerFect TCS II will likely indicate lower than
expected output power. The capacitive loading caused by the
input circuit of the analyzer will detune the output circuit of the
PerFect TCS II electrosurge. Measurement can still be made by
making direct connection to the PerFect TCS II at the output BNC
connector on the side of the unit rather than using the supplied
cable. Eliminating the cable will reduce output capacitance by
250 pF. An additional capacitance will have to be added to bring the
total output capacitance (analyzer input circuit plus added capacitor) to
250 pF. Any capacitor added to the output must be rated for at
least 1000V.
CAUTION
1.
Do not tamper with the PerFect TCS II or any of
its components.
2.
For safe operation, be certain the PerFect TCS II is plugged into
a three-wire grounded power source. Do not use plug adaptors
that eliminate ground.
3.
Electrosurgery should not be used within approximately 4.5
meters of persons with active implantables, such as pacemakers,
cochlear implants, or nerve stimulators.
4.
Do not use PerFect TCS II in the presence of flammable
anesthetics or explosive gases.
5.
Metal conducts radio frequency energy just as it conducts
electricity. Remove partial dentures if removable and check the
area for fixed partial dentures. Metal restorations can conduct
energy beyond the anesthetized area and cause discomfort to
the patient.
6.
Take care that metal restorations, bone, or teeth do not come
into contact with active electrodes. While fleeting contact will
not be detrimental, extended contact may result in damage.
All instruments used during electrosurgery should be made
of a non-conducting plastic material. Cotton rolls or gauze
pads used in the patient's mouth should be kept moist during
electrosurgery. Remember to deactivate the electrode each
time the electrode sheath is removed from the operative site
and before it is cleaned or changed. Skin-to-skin contact (for
example between the arms and body of the patient) should be
avoided by insertion of dry gauze for example.
7.
When high frequency surgical equipment and physiological
monitoring equipment is used simultaneously on the same
patient, all monitoring electrodes should be placed as far
as possible from the surgical electrode. Needle monitoring
electrodes are not recommended. In all cases, monitoring
