Operating Instructions TENEO
4.5.13.1
Safety information
Improper operation and failure to observe precautions can cause serious
accidents when working with the electrosurgical unit.
Cardiac pacemakers (SIROTOM)
Further warnings concerning treatment with the electrosurgical unit:
z
The patient should not come into contact with metallic parts which are
grounded or have substantial capacitance to ground.
z
The power output should be set to the lowest possible value for the
relevant purpose.
z
If the surgical unit appears to supply little power or does not work properly
in its normal setting, this may be caused by a poor contact in the supply
cable (connector).
z
Combustible substances, which are used for instance as cleaning or
disinfecting agents, should have evaporated before applying surgery.
Cotton wool can be ignited. Endogenous gases can be ignited.
z
Contact between the HF handpiece and metal implants or
supraconstructions must be avoided.
z
The active electrosurgical function can impair the function of other
electronic devices.
z
Check the electrode cable regularly for possible damage to the insulation.
z
If a line voltage fade occurs, the HF electronics switch off automatically.
Deposit the handpiece briefly. Then you can continue working as usual.
z
Also refer to the chapter "Safety tests for systems with HF surgical
equipment" [

4.5.13.2
Connecting the neutral electrode
The neutral electrode should always be used during treatment with the
electrosurgical unit. It connects the patient to ground via a defined
capacitance (capacitor). Reproducible high frequency currents are thus
ensured.
¾
Plug in the connector of the neutral electrode on the bottom of the dentist
element.
WARNING: High frequency currents and fields may influence
cardiac pacemakers.
The function and operating mode of the cardiac pacemaker may be disturbed.
¾
We recommend not using the electrosurgical unit for patients with
cardiac pacemakers.
WARNING:
The patient must always hold the neutral electrode in his hand during
treatment.
