Description / Abstract:
This technical report contains guidelines for medical and
nursing personnel regarding the safe and effective operation of
HIGH FREQUENCY SURGICAL EQUIPMENT (also referred to as HF SURGICAL
EQUIPMENT in this document). It will also be of use to
scientific/technical staff who have responsibility for the
maintenance of this equipment.
The application guidelines in this document deal with the safe
operation of HIGH FREQUENCY SURGICAL EQUIPMENT constructed
according to the safety requirements of IEC 60601-1 and IEC
60601-2-2 (see Bibliography).
Not all existing HIGH FREQUENCY SURGICAL EQUIPMENT meets the
minimum requirements of current international standards, however,
the guidelines in this report will still be helpful in utilizing
these devices.
