Set-up
The Electrosurgical Generator should be positioned on a flat, horizontal
worktop or suitable trolley such that the Front Panel is visible, and the Display
STEP 1.
is easy to read; controls are readily accessible; and Instruments can be
connected for their intended use.
The Electrosurgical Generator should always be positioned so that it is
possible to switch the unit off by using the On / Off Power switch (10) on the
STEP 2.
Rear Panel of the Electrosurgical Generator or by disconnecting the AC power
supply cord.
Before connecting the AC power supply cord ensure the On / Off Power
switch (marked 'I' and 'O') above the AC inlet (10) for the power supply cord

on the Rear Panel is set to the off position with the part of the switch marked
'O' pushed inwards.
STEP 4.
Connect the AC power supply cord to the AC inlet (10).
Connect the AC power supply cord directly to a suitably rated AC wall socket.
STEP 5.
Do not connect to AC adaptors or extension cords. Use of these may lead to
faulty operation or loss of protective electrical grounding.
Connect the Footswitch to the Footswitch connection socket (13) on the Rear

Panel of the Electrosurgical Generator.
Secure the Footswitch connection and cable by engaging and tightening the

retention ring on the footswitch plug to the Footswitch connection socket.
Allow the footswitch connection cable to drape down at the rear of the

Electrosurgical Generator away from the patient and ensure that it does not
present a tripping hazard.
Always place the Footswitch near the feet of the user such that deliberate

action by the user is required to activate the intended output from the
Electrosurgical Generator.
If needed, the Creo Electrosurgical Generator can be connected to the external grounding
system of the room via the standard Equipotential Terminal Pin (15) on the back of the
generator using a connecting cable designed for this purpose. External grounding removes the
hazards presented by low frequency leakage currents in the instance of a defective grounding
system within the room.
