Electrosurgical Units - Abbott CentriMag Operation Manual

10.4 Electrosurgical Units

The System is designed to be operated safely during use of ESU's (electrosurgery or
electrocautery units).
Under rare conditions, this might cause Console and/or Monitor display flickers while the
ESU is activated.
If the System is used concurrently with an Electrosurgery unit, Abbott Medical
recommends that the user should read and follow the electrocautery manufacturer's
instructions for prevention of interference with other electronic devices.
WARNING
ESUs have the potential to interfere with other medical devices found in the
operating and ICU room environment.
Ensure that the backup System is on and prepared for use in the event of a
malfunction of the main Console during use of the ESU.
Survey the display of the main Console and/or Monitor during use of the ESU. If
there is a malfunction other than the known potential flicker while the ESU is
activated, change to the backup System.
After the ESU is used, ensure that the main Console is working correctly and
return the backup Console to the AC Off condition.
