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.
NOTE:
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: Only use the ESU block during electrosurgery. Only for use with the
MultiMed 3/5, or MultiMed 6.

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.
