Exclusively non-flammable disinfectants must be used. If alcohol-based solutions are
!
required, wait before performing surgery until these have completely evaporated. Bear in
mind that disinfectants can flow down and collect in recesses of the body. A spark from the
active electrode can cause combustion of the fluid in normal use.
!
Sparks from the active electrode can set bandages (textiles), metabolic gases and
combustible fluids alight.
!
In the case of procedures involving high-frequency current applied to body parts with a
minimal cross-section, the bipolar technique should be used in order to prevent the risk of
unintentional coagulation.
!
In the case of procedures on body parts with a close link to the remainder of the body, the
bipolar technique should be used for safety reasons.
!
The frequently used indirect coagulation mode should only be used with well insulated
forceps. We recommend forceps with specially insulated grip areas (ask your HEBUmedical
contact).
!
Surgical gloves do not afford the surgeon sufficient protection from burns!
During surgery, pacemakers are at risk of destruction. We recommend consulting the
!
treating cardiologist and/or an authorized representative of the pacemaker manufacturer. As
a rule, in such cases bipolar application technology is advisable. Electrosurgical procedures
are prohibited on outpatients with pacemakers.
!
A marked drop in power at a normal setting can be an indication of incorrect application of
the neutral electrode.
Soiled electrodes can bring about a drop in the quality of the unit. This applies particularly to
!
gentle and bipolar coagulation. To prevent the tissue adhering to the active electrode
(monopolar or bipolar), it is advisable to wait for a moment after coagulation of the tissue
and to interrupt the current flow to allow the active tip to cool before separating the electrode
from the tissue.
!
High-frequency creep currents can cause burns in areas distant from the application site
through conductive connections.
!
To remove the cable from the unit, always hold the plug! Never pull on the cable, as this can
result in damage to the cable insulators, burns on the skin or also fire.
!
Instruments which are temporarily not required during the procedure must be placed away
from the patient on the instrument table or a similar surface.
!
Reusable electrosurgical instruments which are connected to the unit are generally not
delivered in a sterile condition!
