GIMA SpA
when arranged for a normal output, may be lack of connection of the return plate or its
imperfect placement.
•
The use of flammable anaesthetics, of oxygen and of nitrogen protoxide should be avoid in the
case of operation at the head or at chest level except the possibility of evacuating gas.
Flammable materials used to clean, or to disinfect, should be let to evaporate before the use of
the electrosurgical unit. There is risk of stagnation of flammable solutions under the patient or
in body cavities as the umbilicus and the vagina. The fluid that deposits in these areas should
be removed before the equipment use. The danger of endogenous gas ignition has to be
considered. Some materials like cotton wool or gauze, when saturated with oxygen, may burst
into flames because of the sparks produced by the equipment in the normal use.
§
There is a risk for the patients fitted with heart pacemaker or other stimulation electrode:
interference may occur with the stimulator signal or the stimulator itself can be damaged.
Please refer to Cardiology Unit when in doubt.
•
Electrosurgical equipment does emit unnoticed radiation of high frequency energy that may
effect other medical equipment, unrelated electronics, telecommunications, and navigational
systems.
•
The accessory must be regularly checked, particularly the cables for the electrodes and the
possible accessories for the endoscopy to verify that the insulation is not damaged.
•
To avoid the connection of incompatible accessories to the unit, the insulation characteristics of
the items to be replaced must be requested to the manufacturer and compared to those of the
supplied unit (see Technical Characteristics).
•
Attention: a damage of the electrosurgical unit could result in an unwanted increase of the
output power.
•
Inadvertent stimulation of a patient's muscle and nerves can be caused by low frequency
currents originating in electric sparks between electrode and tissue of the patient. Should
neuromuscular stimulation occur stop surgery and check all connections to generator. If this
does not solve the problem, qualified service personnel must inspect generator.

2.2 INSTALLATION

•
The electric safety is insured only when the same are correctly connected to an efficient net
linked to the earth in conformity with the actual safety requirements. It is necessary to verify
this fundamental safety requisite and, in case of doubt, to require an accurate control of the
plant from part of qualified personnel. The manufacturer cannot be considered responsible for
possible damages caused from the lack of efficient connection to earth of the installation.
Operation without a protective earth connection is forbidden.
•
Before connect the equipment ascertain that the required voltage (showed on the rear panel)
corresponds to the available mains.
•
In case of incompatibility between the available wall socket and the feeding cable of the
equipment, replace only with legally approved connectors and accessory items. The use of
adapters, multiple connections or cable extensions is not advised. Should their use become
necessary it is mandatory to use only simple or multiple adapter conforming to the actual safety
requirements.
•
Don't let the apparatus exposed to atmospheric agents. The unit must be protected from seepage
of liquids.
•
Don't obstruct openings or cracks of ventilation or heathsink
•
Don't leave the equipment uselessly inserted. Switch off the equipment when not in use.
•
The use of the unit is not suited in explosive rooms.
