CAUTIONS
•
When positioning the grounding pad, select a well-vascularized muscular site within proximity to
the procedure.
•
Failure to achieve good skin contact by the entire surface of the grounding pad may result in significant
electrosurgical burns at the pad location. Check the pad contact thoroughly before treatment. Stop
treatment immediately and check grounding pad contact if the measured impedance is > 800 ohms or any
significant impedance increases (> 100 ohms) are observed during RF delivery.
•
Only use grounding pad listed in the Recognized Accessory List (Section 1.3 of the NT2000iX
Operator's Manual).
•
Always alert the patient to inform personnel if any heating sensation is felt at the grounding pad site during
RF treatment. If sedating the patient, monitor the grounding pad temperature throughout the treatment.
Suspend treatment and check grounding pad contact if heating during RF treatment is felt.
•
Check the dispersive port and the grounding pad before applying power to the patient.
•
Do not cut or modify the grounding pad in any way.
