Warning

• Electro-surgery can be dangerous. Careless use of any element in the electrosurgical system may subject the patient to a serious burn.
• Read and understand all warnings, precautions, and directions for use before attempt to use any active electrode.
• Neither LED SpA, can be considered responsible for personal, material or consequential injury, loss or damage that results from improper use of the equipment and accessories.
• When the electrosurgical unit is used in operating rooms it is necessary to just use waterproof foot-switches (REF 00304.00 Water-proof pedal)
• before switch on the unit, operator has to verify that requested mains voltage corresponds to the voltage available from the electrical net. (see chapter INSTALLATION).

Precautions

• Avoid the skin to skin contact (for example between arm and body of the patient).

Contraindication

Electro surgery is not recommended in the following subjects:

• having pacemaker;
• with stimulating electrodes;
• with metal prosthesis plant;
• with important arterial pressure unbalance;
• with important nervous disorders;
• with renal insufficiency;
• in state of pregnancy.

Burn Risks

Burns are the most consequences of the HF electro surgery for the patient, even if these are not the only one. In fact necrosis by compression, allergic reactions to the disinfectant, gas or inflammable liquids ignition. Some important causes of burns are by:

• insufficient medical equipe training about all modalities to avoid or reduce the risks of burns by using HF electrosurgical units;
• use of disinfectants with high alcol content;
• incorrect position of the patient during the electrosurgical operation;
• contact between active electrode and the skin;
• contact with liquid;
• long application of HF currents;
• incorrect application of the patient-plate.

To avoid or reduce the common HF electrosurgical risks it is very important to respect the rules and safety measurements exposed illustrate on the next chapter.
