WARNINGS Hazardous Electrical Output - This equipment is for use only by trained, licensed physicians. Danger: Fire / Explosion Hazard - Do not use the Aaron 1250™ electrosurgical generator in the presence of flammable anesthetics. Fire / Explosion Hazard - The following substances will contribute to increased fire and explosion hazards in the operating room: •... - Page 11 Bovie ESRS or ESRC patient return pads to rise above 41°C when the skin in prepared properly and the pad is attached properly. However be aware that extended surgical times particularly at high power will cause a continued temperature rise at the skin and return pad interface due to RF current return to the generator.
- Page 12 • In addition, place patient return electrodes according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Potential for alternate site burns increases if the return electrode is compromised. Bovie Medical recommends the use of split patient return electrodes and Bovie Medical generators with a contact quality monitoring system.

Page 25: Initial Inspection
INSTALLATION Place the Aaron 1250™ on any flat surface with a tilt angle not more than 10˚. The unit relies on natural convection cooling. Do not block its bottom or rear vents. Ensure that air flows freely on all sides of the unit. -
Page 26: Confirming Modes
After the unit has passed the preliminary functional test, it is ready for performance testing. A qualified biomedical engineer who is thoroughly familiar with electrosurgical devices should conduct this testing. The testing should include checking all modes of operation for proper function and power output. User’s Guide • Aaron 1250 ™... - Page 27 Bovie Medical Corporation...

Page 29: Inspecting The Generator And Accessories
INSPECTING THE GENERATOR AND ACCESSORIES Before each use of the Aaron 1250™, verify that the unit and all accessories are in good working order: • Inspect for damage to the Electrosurgical Generator and all its connections. • Verify that the appropriate accessories and adapters are present. - Page 30 • In addition, place patient return electrodes according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Potential for alternate site burns increases if the return electrode is compromised. Bovie Medical recommends the use of split patient return electrodes and Bovie Medical generators with a contact quality monitoring system.
