Personal safety instructions
Incorrect HF generator configuration settings and limited
visibility can lead to patient injuries:
Select the HF generator and the HF cable according to
the requirements of the ligation instrument.
Carry out operations only with adequate visibility.
Never use ligation instruments with the AUTOSTART
function.
Use only the ligation program of Bowa ARC generators
with bipolar ligation current.
Prepare the tissue to be sealed so it is as free as
possible in order to avoid unintentional clamping.
Patients with pacemakers
Malfunctions or destruction of the pacemaker can endanger
the life of the patient or result in irreversible injuries to the
patient:
Never perform ambulant operations on patients with
pacemakers.
In cases of patients with pacemakers, consult the
cardiologist before carrying out HF surgery.
Set the demand pacemaker to a fixed frequency.
Ensure that the pacemaker does not come into contact
with the HF electrode.
Keep a fully operational defibrillator within reach
Carry out a postoperative pacemaker check.
