3 Energetic Applications3.1 Safety Precaution for Electro-Medical Equipment3.1.1 GeneralThe following instructions, based on the Notification No. 495issued by the Pharmaceutical and Supply Bureau of the Ministryof Health and Welfare, Japan, June 1, 1972, describe generalprecautions which should be taken in the use of electro-medicalequipment to ensure the safety of the patient, operator andsurroundings.In regard with specific safety precautions for particular types ofequipment, refer to the individual operation manuals.3.1.2 Installation1. The equipment should not be installed in a location on whichliquids may splash.2. Avoid environmental conditions that are likely to be adverselyaffected by atmospheric pressure, temperatures, humidity,ventilation, sunlight, dusty, salty or sulfureous air, etc.3. Exercise care so that the equipment is neither inclinednor subjected to vibration and impacts. (Including duringtransportation.)4. Never install and operate the equipment where there is a riskof flammable gases.5. The AC mains to which the equipment is connected shouldsupply a power appropriate for the input frequency, ratedvoltage and amperage of the equipment.6. Check the conditions of batteries (discharge, polarity, etc.)7. Earth the equipment effectively.13
3.1.3 Before use1. Check electrical contacts of switches, polarity, dial setting,indicators, etc. and make sure that the equipment functionsproperly.2. Make sure that the equipment is earthed effectively.3. Make sure that all cords are connected correctly andsecurely.4. Consideration should be taken if the equipment is usedin conjunction with other instruments so that inaccuratediagnosis or a hazard will not result.5. Check the external circuit directly connecting to the patient.6. Check the batteries.3.1.4 During use1. A prolonged use or a dosage more than necessary fordiagnosis and treatment may compromise patient safety.2. Keep an eye continuously on the equipment at large as wellas the patient for abnormality.3. If any abnormality with the equipment or the patient isdetected, take appropriate measures, e.g. by stopping theequipment in such a matter that it does not impair the patientsafety.4. Pay attention so that the patient does not come into contactwith the equipment. 3.1.5 After use1. After setting control switches, dials, etc. back to the homeposition in accordance with the procedures as prescribed,turn off the power switch.2. When unplugging the connector, do not yank at the cord.Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.3. Storage-- The equipment should not be stored in a location on whichliquids may splash.14
-- Avoid environmental conditions that are likely to be adverselyaffected by atmospheric pressure, temperatures, humidity,ventilation, sunlight, dusty, salty or sulfereous air, etc.-- Exercise care so that the equipment is neither inclined norsubjected to vibration and impacts.-- Do not store the equipment where there is a risk of flammablegases.4. After accessories, cords, leads, etc. have been cleaned,arrange them neatly, then put in storage.5. During storage keep the equipment clean and ready for nextuse.3.1.6 Service and maintenance1. If any failure has developed, leave repairs to the specialist.Attach appropriate information to the defective equipmentand call qualified service personnel.2. The user should not modify the equipment.3. Maintenance and inspection-- Inspect the equipment and accessories periodically.-- When using the equipment after an extended period of time,make sure it functions normally and safely.For specific safety precautions of particular equipment, refer tothe product-specific instructions for use.3.2 LightEnergy emission of light sourcesLight sources emit large amounts of light energy and thermalenergy.As a result:-- The light-guide connector and the telescope’s distal endbecome extremely hot.-- The light energy is concentrated in a relatively small area.15
Risks related to light sources-- Thermal injury to the patient’s tissue (e.g., from prolongedexposure to the intense illumination in cavities with smalllumens, or if the telescope’s distal end is placed into closeproximity with the tissue).-- Burns to the patient’s or user’s skin.-- Burns or thermal damage to surgical equipment (e.g., surgicaldrapes, plastic materials, etc.).Safety precautions Avoid prolonged exposure to intense illumination. Use the minimum level of illumination necessary tosatisfactorily illuminate the target area. Do not place the telescope’s distal end or the light-guideconnector on the patient’s skin, on flammable materials, or onheat-sensitive materials. Do not touch the telescope’s distal end or the light-guideconnector. Turn the light source off when detaching the telescope from thelight-guide cable. Allow the telescope and the light-guide cable to cool down afteruse.16
Adapters on the telescope’s light-guide connectorLight-guide adapters allow the telescope to be connected to lightguide cables of various manufacturers.1) Olympus OES light-guide cable and Storz light-guide cables2) Wolf light-guide cables3) Olympus OES Pro and ACMI light-guide cablesAdapters on the light-guide cable’s connector plugLight-guide adapters allow the light-guide cable to be connectedto light sources of various manufacturers. The nested adapterA3200 allows the connection to an Olympus light source. To use other adapters, remove adapter A3200 and attach therequired adapter.CAUTIONRisk of loss in light transmission When using screw-type adapters, make sure to screw theadapter tightly onto the corresponding connector.17
NOTELight-guide cable adaptersOlympus recommends the use of an Olympus light-guidecable and an Olympus light source. Only this combination willguarantee optimum illumination of the endoscopic image andexcellent color reproduction.Interferences of light sources with imaging equipmentVideo systems feature different brightness control functions, suchas an electronic shutter and an auto focus function.These mechanisms control the brightness of the video image onthe monitor screen but do NOT control the light source’s output.In the case of improper settings of the camera and light source,the light source might be set to full power output, although this isnot visible on the monitor screen.Such improper settings lead to enhanced heat emission at thetelescope. For further information on the proper connection of lightsources and video systems, refer to the product-specificinstructions for use.Testing the light source’s brightness control function Move the endoscope’s distal end towards an object.The light emission from the telescope’s distal end mustdecrease.18
Move the endoscope’s distal end away from an object.The light emission from the telescope’s distal end mustincrease.3.3 HF SurgeryAn electrical current applied to biological tissue generates threeeffects:-- a thermical effect, generating heat-- a Faraday effect, stimulating nerves and muscles-- an electrolytical effect, causing movement of ionsEffects of HF currentIn HF surgery, the Faraday effect is avoided by using highfrequency alternating current with a frequency of more than300 kHz. This current only generates heat. This heat can be usedfor three types of application:-- thermal coagulation of tissue-- cutting of tissue-- vaporisationIn thermal coagulation, the electrical current heats the tissue onlyslowly. The water inside the tissue evaporates slowly and cellularproteins are denaturated, thus resulting in coagulation of thetissue.19
For cutting tissue, the electrical current heats the tissue veryquickly. The temperature of the tissue inside the cells increasesquickly and the intracellular water evaporates, destroying cellmembranes.For vaporisation, the electrical current is set to high values. Theintracellular water evaporates immediately, resulting in shrinkedtissue and a large coagulation zone for TURis or TCRis.Bipolar HF surgeryIn bipolar HF surgery, the electrosurgical current passes betweenthe two electrodes of the instruments (e.g., the jaws of a bipolarforceps). On the small surface between both electrodes, a highcurrent density accumulates, which creates enough heat tocoagulate and/or cut tissue.As a result, bipolar HF surgery only requires electrosurgicalcurrent to be conducted over a very short distance through thepatient’s body.20
Monopolar HF surgeryI HFAPI HFIn monopolar HF surgery, the electrosurgical current passesfrom the point-shaped “active” electrode (A in the diagram) tothe larger “patient plate” (P). On the small surface of the activeelectrode, a high current density accumulates, which createsenough heat to coagulate, cut and/or vaporize tissue.Active electrodes as described in this “System Guide Endoscopy”are:-- all HF electrodes-- HF-resection electrodes (in resectoscopes)-- monopolar hand instruments (e.g., monopolar forceps andscissors)Other terms used for
