HAGER WERKEN HF1 Surg Bipolar Manual De Instrucciones página 25

Protection and safety provisions in the dental practice for the use of radio frequency surgery of the
HF1 Surg Bipolar device
The HF1 Surg Bipolar device may only be put into operation after the instructions have been given by the operator and in compliance
with the prescriptions and safety provisions.
WARNING
The device must only be connected to a power supply with an earth wire in order to avoid the risk of an electric shock.
Check the cables, hand piece and electrodes as well as the foot pedal on visible damage before starting up
the HF1 Surg Bipolar device. Instruments with brittle or faulty insulation must not be used as they pose
a danger of injury.
When operating the HF1 Surg Bipolar device, unpredictable malfunctions might occur that could cause
un wanted output power increase.
1. A minium distance of approx. 20 cm from any wall has to be kept at all times during operation.
2. The NEUTRAL ELECTRODE should be in close contact with to a correspondingly prepared suitable area of the PATIENT'S body
with its entire surface, as defined by the PRODUCER.
3. The PATIENT should not get in touch with any metal parts that are grounded or have a significant earth capacitance
(e.g. operating table supports etc.).
4. Skin-to-skin contacts (e.g. between the arms and the body of the PATIENT) should be avoided, e.g. by inserting dry gauze. The cable
leading to the HF1 Surg Bipolar device should neither touch the patient nor any other wiring. Instruments which are
temporarily not in use during the treatment have to be kept away from the patient, e.g. on the instrument table.
5. The output power should be set as low as possible for the corresponding purpose.
6. An obviously low output value or functional failure of the HF1 Surg Bipolar device in usual operation can be caused by insufficient
contact of the NEUTRAL ELECTRODE or insufficient contact in its connections. In such case, the contact of the NEUTRAL
ELECTRODE and its connections should be checked before setting a higher output power.
7. The use of ignitable anaesthetics or combustible gases like nitrous oxide (N20) and oxygen should be avoided if a surgical intervention
is executed in the head area, unless these substances are aspirated. If possible, non-ignitable ingredients should be used for cleaning
and disinfection. Ignitable ingredients used as cleaning and disinfection agents or as solvents for adhesives should have evaporated
before the use of the RF-surgery.
8. For patients with pacemakers or other active implants, there is a potential DANGER of disturbance of the pacemaker function or da-
mage to the pacemaker. In case of doubt, consult an expert.
9. The accessories must have a minimum accessory reference voltage of 500 V. Only use the original accessories contained in the scope
of delivery and offered by the manufacturer to achieve maximum safety for the patient and the dentist. The characteristics of the ap-
plied parts and wires are adapted to the output power and output voltage of the device, so that a safe operation is ensured for all ope-
ration modes and settings.
10. The device must be disconnected from the power supply during cleaning.
11. Service and maintenance tasks may only be executed by authorized specialized personnel.
12. The radiation emitted by the HF1 Surg Bipolar device during operation can interfere with the functionality of other electric devices.
Computers, laptops and mobile phones should be kept away from the HF1 Surg Bipolar device. Data on computers and laptops should
be saved beforehand.
13. If any safety provisions and operating instructions contained in this manual are violated, each warranty and liability of the manufac-
turer is cancelled.
14. In operating rooms, the device must only be used with pedal switches with AP labeling.
