12 . The LEEP PRECISION Integrated System is ready for use and the SYSTEM READY LED
will illuminate .
If the operator feels the power output is not sufficient, the Patient Return Electrode should be checked
to see that good contact is made with the patient before increasing the power setting .
13 . CROSS CONTROL: The sequence of operation of the LEEP PRECISION Integrated System is
nonpreferential; that is, either the Foot Switch (pedal) or the Hand Switch will activate the output
(providing all safety measures are met) . The Foot Switch and the Hand Switch cannot be operated
simultaneously .
If using the Foot Switch, the button on the front panel must be used to control the OUTPUT
mode . When the COAG mode (
modes cannot be invoked by the Hand Switch (yellow) Button . The CUT mode, if desired,
must be selected on the front panel and then invoked either by the Hand Switch- or the
Foot Switch-Operated Pencil .
Positive contact must be complete between the patient and the Patient Return
Electrode . If a Split/Dual Patient Return Electrode is not securely affixed to the patient,
the PATIENT PAD LOOSE indicator LED
The PATIENT PAD LOOSE safety circuitry disables the output when an unsafe condition
occurs in the Patient Return Electrode circuit. Poor connections or insufficient contact area
can cause R/F burns . The entire area of the Patient Return Electrode should be reliably
attached to the patient's body and as close to the operating field as possible. Use only
approved CooperSurgical LEEP PRECISION Dual/Split Patient Return Electrodes . Do not
use a single (not split) Patient Return Electrode as it may cause severe tissue burns in the
vicinity of the Patient Return Electrode .
14 . CABLE PLACEMENT: High frequency cables should be routed clear of other instruments and arranged
for minimum length . Cables to surgical electrodes should be positioned to prevent contact with the
patient or other leads . Temporarily unused active electrodes should be stored in a location isolated from
the patient .
15 . R/F LEAKAGE: The LEEP PRECISION Integrated System/Generator has a sensitive error detection
mode that disables the output and indicates that an error condition exists by illuminating the front panel
R/F LEAKAGE ERROR LED
Patient Return Electrode or Active Electrode to ground . In this context, ground means any undesirable
path or place . If such a path exists, the patient should be inspected for any contact with metallic paths
to tables, chairs, or other non-isolated objects . The purpose of this feature is to prevent R/F current from
flowing in undesirable places where it could either cause burns or damage to ancillary equipment.
16 . PATIENT CONTACT: Direct operator-to-patient skin-to-skin contact could create an undesired leakage
path . Avoid skin-to-skin contact by padding with dry gauze as necessary . The operator should wear
electrically insulating gloves . Unless absolutely necessary, the patient should not be touched when R/F
power is activated . Patient should not come into contact with grounded metal parts or parts with a higher
capacitance to ground (i .e ., operating table supports) . Use of anti-static sheeting is recommended for this
purpose .
