Safe use of neutral electrodes
‒ Activation stops automatically and is prevented.
‒ An alarm tone sounds and a corresponding error message is displayed.
● Follow the instructions given in the error message.
Indicator for non‑split type neutral electrodes is gray
‒ The connection of a non-split type neutral electrode is detected.
‒ Activation is possible.
‒ CQM does not work with non-split type neutral electrodes. There is a risk of burns to the
patient if the neutral electrode detaches or gets damaged.
6.5 Selecting an appropriate neutral electrode
WARNING
Non‑split type neutral electrodes
When using non-split type neutral electrodes, then the contact quality monitor does not
work. If the non-split type neutral electrode detaches from the patient, then no warning
signal sounds. This can result in burns to the patient.
Only use split type neutral electrodes. Refer to the section “15.2 Compatible neutral
electrodes” on page 96.
Compatible neutral electrodes
The section “15.2 Compatible neutral electrodes” on page 96 lists split type neutral
electrodes that are compatible for the use with this electrosurgical generator.
Only use compatible neutral electrodes as listed in the section “15.2 Compatible neutral
electrodes” on page 96.
Only use self-adhesive neutral electrodes to prevent compression necrosis.
Do not use capacitive coupling neutral electrodes.
Immaculate neutral electrodes
● Check the use by date of the neutral electrode. Only use neutral electrodes with an
unexpired use by date.
● Check the packaging of the neutral electrode. Only use neutral electrodes with an
undamaged packaging.
● Check the neutral electrode for damages, modications and sharp edges. Only use
immaculate neutral electrodes.
Sufcient size
● Select the largest possible neutral electrode that is adequate for the patient.
Consider the size of the neutral electrode particularly for obese patients.
Consider the size of the neutral electrode particularly if high power levels are needed.
6.6 Connection of a neutral electrode to the electrosurgical generator
Specications of the neutral electrode socket
The neutral electrode socket at the electrosurgical generator is suitable for plugs with the
following specications:
‒ Plugs with 2 receptacles
‒ 2.5 mm receptacle diameter
‒ Spacing: 10 mm
