8-6 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA VF8
8 ECG
AND HEART RATE
Electrosurgery
Observe the “Safety Considerations” section on page 6 and the “Electrosurgery”
section on page 11 of these Instructions for Use for general safety precautions during
electrosurgical procedures to reduce ESU interference and enhance user and patient
safety.
The monitor’s ECG function is protected against high-frequency interference from
defibrillators and electrosurgical units.
ESU Block
The MultiMed Plus OR cable and the 5/6-lead ESU block have an integrated electro-
surgical unit (ESU) filter which helps to reduce HF surgery artifacts for improved
reliability. The ESU filter helps to protect the patient from burns caused by ESU-
induced currents flowing through unprotected leads. See chapter 29, for information
on cleaning the device.
NOTE:
Place the electrodes as far from the surgical incision as possible while
maintaining a clinically useful configuration.
Place the cable and lead wires as far from the ESU as possible and
perpendicular to the ESU cables.
Use ESU-return electrode with largest possible contact area. Whenever
possible, place the ESU-return electrode directly under the surgical site,
avoiding bony protrusions.
Replace ECG electrodes regularly.
Read the operating instructions that came with the ESU block for additional
information.
NOTE: Only use the ESU block during electrosurgery. Only for use with the
MultiMed 3/5, or MultiMed 6.
