of usage concerning electrosurgery (see
EN 60 601-2-2), as well as the manufacturer's
instructions for use regarding specific
warnings and conditions.
Be sure to electrically isolate the patient
from (high frequency leakage currents to)
the operating table, in accordance with the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of
the electrosurgical equipment.
Ensure that the patient does not come into
contact with metal parts that are earthed or
that have an appreciable capacitance to earth
(for example: operating table, supports), in
accordance with the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the electrosurgical equipment.
Avoid small-area contacts with objects having
a low impedance to earth at high frequencies,
as unwanted burns can result.
Adjusting the Rotating
Ratchet Mechanism
The rotatable ratchet mechanism can be
adjusted to one of 7 indexed positions along
an arc of 60 degrees. The pressure of the
ring on the interior of the ratchet mechanism
maintains the selected position. To adjust
the rotation of a retractor blade during the
procedure, pull the ratchet mechanism slightly
away from the ring; rotate the retractor blade
to another indexed position as desired;
replace the ratchet mechanism on the ring.
