Chapter 5 How to Use
WARNING
 Prior to performing endoscopic electrosurgery, one should have a thorough understanding
of the manufacturers' instructions for all equipment involved and one should be familiar with
the specific safety and usage aspects of each endotherapy device.
CAUTION
 Prevent patient's body from touching electric conductor such as metal part of bed while
performing high-frequency treatment. It could cause thermal injury to a patient due to
energization via the conductive part.
 When performing high-frequency treatment, take care that patient's vomitus or body fluids
do not make contact with the conductive parts such as a metal part of the bed. It could
cause thermal injury to a patient due to energization via vomitus or body fluids.
 While performing high-frequency treatment, ensure that the end-user does not touch the
patient. It could cause thermal injury to a patient and/or end-user.
 Operate the electrosurgical unit within specified output range as per instructions provided
in the operation manual of the electrosurgical unit. Leakage current may cause thermal
injury.
 Do not energize the electrosurgical unit when the high-frequency endotherapy device or
electrically active portion is in contact with the distal end of endoscope. Thermal injury to a
patient or endoscope failure may occur.
 Do not apply the current under the circumstance that patient's clothing is wet when
performing high-frequency treatment. Doing so may cause thermal injury.
(1) Prepare, inspect and connect the electrosurgical unit and high-frequency endotherapy device
as per instructions provided in respective manuals.
(2) Perform high-frequency treatment as per instructions provided in the manual of the
electrosurgical unit and high-frequency endotherapy device.
