WARNING
Baby neutral electrode setting
When using neutral electrodes for newborn (patient weight less than 5 kg), the function
[Baby neutral electrode] must be switched on. Otherwise, the electrosurgical generator can
not detect the current ow’s critical value of 350 mA. There is the risk of severe burns to the
baby patient.
‒ Ensure that the function [Baby neutral electrode] is switched on, i.e. a baby symbol is
shown within the neutral electrode indicator.
‒ Use the lowest power settings that are appropriate for the intended procedure.
‒ Use short activation intervals, as this reduces the heating between the neutral electrode
and the baby’s skin to a minimum.
‒ Refer to the section “6.3 Safety feature for baby neutral electrodes” on page 46.
Considerations before activating
● Conrm that the displayed settings are correct for the intended procedure.
● For monopolar treatments: Conrm that the CQM indicator for the neutral electrode is
green (or grey if a non-split type neutral electrode is used).
● Make sure that the foot switch is assigned to the correct output socket.
● Make sure to use the correct foot switch pedal, i.e. the yellow pedal for cutting and the
blue pedal for coagulation.
● Make sure to use the correct hand switch, i.e. the yellow cutting hand switch and the
blue coagulation hand switch.
WARNING
Inadequate high output
Inadequate HF output, e.g. caused by a failure of the electrosurgical generator, can result in
death or serious injury to the patient.
‒ Continuously watch the patient and the medical electrical equipment during use.
‒ If any abnormality of the patient or the medical electrical equipment is observed stop the
application in a way that does not impair patient safety.
‒ Immediately stop the application of HF current as soon as inadequate HF output is
observed.
‒ If the foot switch or the hand switch of the instrument does not react, then use the power
switch on the ESG-410 as an emergency stop.
Considerations during activation
‒ Make sure that the tip of the activated instrument is always visible in the endoscopic
image.
‒ Store temporarily unused instruments in an electrically insulated container. Do not place
unused instruments on the patient.
‒ Carefully clean eschar affected areas of the instrument. Refer to the instructions for use
of the instrument. If necessary, replace the instrument.
