Warnings
The products may only be used in combination with BOWA
accessories and only by clinically instructed and qualified
personnel.
Electrodes must not be twisted, as this may cause
damage to the material and the electrode might break.
The maximum allowed voltages you find on page 95.
Power output of the HF unit:
Always select the lowest possible output of the HF unit for
any procedure. If the coagulating capacity of the electrode
is below normal, do not increase the output of the HF unit
without a thorough preliminary check. In particular, the
following must be checked: correct attachment of all HF
cables and plugs, correct activation of current by the finger-
or foot- switches, undamaged insulation of the HF cables
and instru- ment, and check that the distal end of the
electrode is clean and undamaged.
Before operating, check that the signal transmission of the
monitors works without interference (e.g. without noise);
this check is made by pressing the yellow button (CUT) and
the blue button (COAG).
Always unplug the HF cable by holding on to the connector.
Never pull the cable itself, as this may lead to defects.
Cables with defective/brittle insulation or with a broken
electrical wire (due to severe bending or crushing of the
cable) may lead to the user/patient being burned or even
