and as close to the operating field as possible.
›
The PMG may be used without a dispersive return electrode in some modes. Please refer to
accompanying IFUs for related probes and cables.
›
The activation tone and light are important safety features. Do not obstruct the activation
light. Do not disable the activation audible tone.
›
Do not remove the cover of the Generator, as there is a potential for electrical shock. Refer
to authorized personnel for service.
›
The mains power cord of the Generator must be connected to a properly grounded
receptacle. Extension cords and/or adapter plugs must not be used.
›
Do not wrap instrument cable around metal objects. Wrapping cables around metal objects
may induce hazardous currents.
›
The cables to the surgical electrodes should be positioned in such a way that contact with
the PATIENT or other leads are avoided. Temporarily unused ACTIVE ELECTRODES should
be stored in a location that is isolated from the PATIENT.
›
Avoid high frequency output settings where the Maximum Output Voltage may exceed the
rated accessory voltage.
›
The output power should be as low as possible for intended purpose (applies to Manual
modes).
›
The application of the Neutral Electrode and its connections to be checked before selecting
a higher output power.
›
For surgical procedures where the high frequency current could flow through parts of the
body having a relatively small cross sectional area, the use of BIPOLAR techniques may be
desirable in order to avoid unwanted tissue damage.
›
Perform regular inspections of all accessories, including electrosurgical cables and probes,
for damage to insulations.
›
Associated Equipment and Active Accessories should be selected that have a Rated
Accessory Voltage equal to or greater than the Maximum Output Voltage.
›
For information on the connection and disconnection of detachable parts and accessories,
refer to the Instructions for Use for the corresponding probe or cable.
›
Care should be taken to avoid the danger of ignition of endogenous gases.
›
The PMG needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into
service according to the EMC information provided in this document.
›
Electronic equipment, including portable and mobile RF communications equipment, can
affect the operation of the PMG. Operating non-essential equipment in the vicinity of the
PMG should be avoided, if possible.
›
The PMG should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If the PMG must
be operated adjacent to or stacked with other equipment, the PMG should be observed to
verify normal operation in that configuration.
›
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specifically approved by
Halyard Health for use with the PMG may result in increased electromagnetic emissions or
