Set-up
Warning
The Electrosurgical Generator must always be connected to an AC power supply with
a protective ground (earth). Do not connect the power supply cord (also referred to
as an AC power cord) if it appears damaged or contaminated, if it has been modified,
or if it does not meet the requirement specified in the product specification table in
this Instructions for Use, as there is a risk of electrical shock to the patient or user.
USA only: Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the equipment receptacle
is marked "Hospital Grade".
Condensation may occur when the unit is moved from a cold area into an area
intended for its use. Allow the Electrosurgical Generator to acclimatize before
connecting the power supply cord and/or turning the Electrosurgical Generator ON.
Condensation in the Electrosurgical Generator may cause a fault to occur if the
Electrosurgical Generator is turned ON.
The Electrosurgical Generator weighs approx. 35 lb. (16 kg) and the weight is not
evenly distributed. Care should be taken when lifting the generator.
Caution
The Electrosurgical Generator may cause electrical interference with other
equipment. Operation of the Electrosurgical Generator may be affected adversely
due to interference from other equipment. If interference occurs:
•
Increase the distance between the Electrosurgical Generator and the suspected
interfering equipment in order to reduce interference.
•
Ensure that Electrosurgical Generator cables and connected Instruments are
kept as far away as possible from other equipment cables.
The Electrosurgical Generator, Instruments, accessories, footswitch, and their
connection cables should be positioned such that damage or accidental activation is
avoided and that they do not present a tripping hazard.
There must be clearance of at least 9 cm (3.5 inches) to the rear of the
Electrosurgical Generator to allow for room for footswitch cable, AC power supply
cord, and for exhausting of air from the Electrosurgical Generator.
The Electrosurgical Generator is equipped with internal cooling fans. The cooling air
intakes are located towards the front both on the underside and on the on the right-
hand side wall of the Electrosurgical Generator as viewed from the front of the
Electrosurgical Generator. Do not allow these areas to be blocked.
