Patient, Operating Room and General Use Safety

Warning
Only surgical staff trained to use electrosurgical equipment may operate the Ultravision system.
During initial set up and before each use, inspect the Ultravision system and battery recharging station for any damage. If
damaged, do not use or attempt to repair. Call Alesi Surgical or your local distributor for assistance.
The enclosures for the Ultravision generator, Mains Converter and its Power supply units are plastic with internal isolation
barriers that provide complete insulation to the patient and operator from any internal electrical hazards. In addition, the
patient connections are Cardiac Floating. Consequently, the Ultravision system requires no connection to an equipotential
point or protective earth.
To maximise patient safety, contact between the Ionwand and metallic instruments should be minimised. Otherwise, the
metal instrument may be charged resulting in an electrostatic discharge to the patient or operator. This may be sufficient to
cause atrial fibrillation depending upon proximity to the thoracic cavity.
If the Ultravision generator, Mains Converter, Power supply units or battery recharging station become wet for any reason,
switch off and air-dry thoroughly before reusing.
Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to disconnect the direct plug in Power Supply units from the mains.
Do not remove any covers or panels exposing the internal components of the Ultravision system and battery recharging
station. Removal of covers or panels will void any Warranty.
Ensure that the battery is correctly inserted into the Ultravision generator. Failure to do so may result in a fire hazard.
Ensure that the Ultravision Mains Converter is always inserted into the Ultravision Generator in the correct orientation.
TM
Failure to do so may damage the Mains Converter and equipment.
Do not use the Mains Converter to power equipment other than the Ultravision Generator. This may damage the Mains Con-
verter and equipment.
Do not use any other third party Power Supply to power the Ultravision Generator. This may cause damage to the Ultravision
generator and the third party power supply. The operator is also at risk of electrostatic shock or burn, due to charge build up
in external capacitances.
Do not mechanically shock or drop a Mains Converter. This may damage or reduce the life of the Mains Converter.
Do not hold or suspend the Mains Converter or its power supply by its cable – this may damage the equipment.
Do not operate this device in potentially explosive environments, such as in the presence of flammable anaesthetics.
The battery recharging station has only been certified for use outside the immediate operating theatre environment. It does
not have sufficient redundant voltage or current protection to allow safe contact with the patient.
Use the battery recharging station and the mains converter with their specific mains power supply units. They are not me-
chanically interchangeable and provide different types of electrical protection.
Plug the power cable directly into the power socket without any extension cords or adaptor plugs.
The power cable assembly should be checked periodically for damaged insulation or connectors. Do not use a damaged
power cable.
Do not connect a wet power cable to a power socket.
Inspect any sterile component for damage to the packaging before use. If any damage is present, do not use.
Do not reuse or re-sterilise the Ionwand, trocar, catheter or the Ultravision 5mm Trocar. Doing so may result in cross contam-
ination, infection or injury to the patient or medical staff and may damage the Ultravision system.
Caution
Read all warnings, cautions, and instructions provided with the Ultravision system before using. Do not stack equipment on
top of the Ultravision system.
To maximise patient safety, contact between the Ionwand and patient tissue should be minimised. Otherwise, performance
