18
DRAFT – 2017-01-17
DANGER
Procedural hazards and complications
Insufficient knowledge of the user about the medical literature and about the specific
procedural hazards will result in severe complications that can result in death of the patient.
•• The electrosurgical generator must only be used by physicians who have experience with
the electrosurgical procedure that is used for the specific therapy.
•• To respond to possible complications during the procedure consider the following:
•• Prepare at least one hemostatic procedure: coagulation, clipping or local injection.
•• Make sure that emergency equipment for life-saving, intubation and appropriate
pharmaceuticals are located in or near the procedure room.
•• Prepare a spare electrosurgical generator or an alternative procedure to avoid
interruption of treatment due to an unexpected electrosurgical generator failure during
the treatment.
•• If any abnormal output is suspected during the operation, immediately terminate the
use of the equipment.
•• If the foot switch does not react, switch off the electrosurgical generator. Malfunction
of the equipment can cause an unintended increase of output energy.
•• Use physiological monitoring equipment throughout the entire procedure.
•• Consider the use of a bipolar mode for procedures where the HF current could flow
through parts of the body with a relatively small cross sectional area.
•• It is not recommended to use electrosurgery for circumcisions because of the risk of
thermal injuries. The risk can be reduced if metal parts of any kind (e.g. clamps) or
monopolar HF instruments are avoided.
Safety information
CAUTION
Generator defect
Short circuits can cause malfunction or damage of the electrosurgical generator which may
cause an undesirably high output of power. This could result in injury to the patient.
•• Make sure that the electrodes of an HF instrument do not come in contact with each other.
•• Do not touch metallic parts with the HF instrument.
19
DRAFT – 2017-01-17
WARNING
Electrical stimulation of nerves and muscles
Low frequency electrical currents or intense high frequency electrical currents can stimulate
nerves and muscles which may result in violent spasms or muscle contractions of the
patient. Low frequency electrical currents may be generated by a partial rectification of
intense high frequency electrical current, in particular when there is a spark discharge to the
tissue or to another metallic object. Intense high frequency electrical currents can occur at
the beginning of an electrosurgical cut or when using high output power settings.
•• Use the lowest appropriate output power level. Be aware that certain modes present an
unacceptable risk with power settings that are too low. With all RFITT modes the risk of
excessive thermal effects rises if the output power setting is too low.
•• For appropriate power settings refer to the tables with the modes characteristics in the
“Appendix B” on page 99.

3.3 Nomenclature and functional principles of the software features
The electrosurgical generator is equipped with the following features:
-- Contact Quality Monitor (CQM)
-- High Power Cut Support (HPCS)
-- Autostart
-- Fast Spark Monitor (FSM)
21
Product description and functional principles
For selected CELON bipolar applicators the electrosurgical generator also provides:
-- Radiofrequency Induced Thermotherapy (RFITT)
-- Automatic instrument recognition
-- Automatic wear-out detection
The functional principles of theses features are described in the sections below.
3.3.1 CQM – Contact Quality Monitoring for the neutral electrode
Using non-split type neutral electrodes is not as safe as using split-type ones as CQM is not
able to detect any detachment of the neutral electrode from the patient.
For detailed information on the safe and correct use of neutral electrodes refer to the chapter
“Neutral electrode operation” on page 52.
3.3.2 HPCS – High Power Cut Support
All cutting modes are supported by HPCS. This feature optimizes the start of the cutting
procedure by applying high power to the tissue to support immediate spark ignition and to
reduce the risk of mechanical cutting.
3.3.3 Autostart for the bipolar mode SoftCoag
If the impedance is within a defined range, then Autostart feature permits automatic
activation of the output power as soon as both electrodes of the electrosurgical instrument
touch the tissue. It is possible to set a time delay so that the automatic activation does not
start immediately when the electrodes are in contact with the tissue but only after a certain
time. Consequently, activating by foot switch is not necessary.
Autostart is available only for the bipolar mode SoftCoag.
3.3.4 FSM – Fast Spark Monitor
This feature ensures smooth and reproducible cutting although the tissue characteristic are
varying, e.g. in muscle and fat.
3.4 Features for selected CELON bipolar applicators
The following features are compatible only with selected CELON bipolar applicators, e.g.
CelonProCurve V.
22
DRAFT – 2017-01-17
When using split type neutral electrodes for monopolar electrosurgery, the CELON Precision
is able to detect unintended detachment of the neutral electrode from the patient. The
indicator for the contact quality monitor (CQM) shines green while the contact between the
split type neutral electrode and the skin of the patient is within an acceptable resistance
range. If the contact between the split type neutral electrode and the patient’s skin is
insufficient, then an alarm tone sounds, a warning message is displayed and the contact
quality monitor indicator shines red.
Product description and functional principles
3.4.1 RFITT – Radiofrequency Induced Thermotherapy
The medical purpose of the Radiofrequency Induced Thermotherapy, RFITT, is to achieve
controlled tissue coagulation. The CELON Precision offers 3 different RFITT modes that are
used in conjunction with the CELON bipolar applicators. For further information refer to the
section “The bipolar RFITT coagulation modes” on page 62.
3.4.2 Automatic instrument recognition
Other radio transmitters and receivers, e. g. mobile phones, may interfere with the automatic
instrument recognition.
•• To avoid interference observe the instructions in the chapter “Electromagnetic
compatibility” on page 90.
3.4.3 Automatic wear-out detection
To protect the patient from a worn-out instrument the bipolar applicators are equipped with
memory chips that record the usage. When the permitted usage span is nearly reached,
the electrosurgical generator alerts the user by emitting an alarm tone and displaying the
following error message:
At this stage and as soon as the treatment situation allows, the user needs to replace the
bipolar applicator.
When the permitted usage span is exceeded, the following error message is displayed:
23
DRAFT – 2017-01-17
The electrosurgical generator is equipped with a radio transmitting and receiving technology.
Therefore, the selected CELON bipolar applicator that is connected to the electrosurgical
generator is recognized automatically. This means:
-- The name of the connected CELON bipolar applicator is displayed in the BIPOLAR pane
of the touch screen, e. g. [ProCurve V].
-- Only compatible modes and output power settings are available.
-- The user can select one of these compatible modes and can change the output power
level within a restricted range.

Neutral electrode operation
7 Neutral electrode operation
Only for monopolar treatments
Only for monopolar treatments neutral electrodes are required to return the HF current from
the active electrode of the HF instrument back to the electrosurgical generator. In bipolar
electrosurgery both electrodes, the active and the return electrode, are implemented within
the HF instrument.
7.1 Safety information for neutral electrode operation
DANGER
Neutral electrodes for infants
If the output power of the electrosurgical generator exceeds the permissible power of a
neutral electrode for infants (patient weight 0…15 kg), then this will result in severe burns to
the patient.
•• Only use output settings within the permissible range of output power for the neutral
electrode. Refer to the instructions for use of the neutral electrode.
WARNING
Size of neutral electrodes
If the size of the neutral electrode is too small for the patient, then this could result in burns
to the patient.
•• Choose the largest possible neutral electrode that is adequate for the patient.
•• Consider the size of the neutral electrode particularly for obese patients.
•• Consider the size of the neutral electrode particularly if high output power levels are
needed.
WARNING
Non-split type neutral electrodes
If non-split type neutral electrodes are used, then the contact quality monitor does not work.
In case that the non-split type neutral electrode detaches from the patient, then no warning
signal sounds. This could result in burns to the patient.
•• Only use split type neutral electrodes. Refer to the section “Compatible neutral electrodes”
on page 87.
WARNING
Mechanical tissue cutting
If the HF instrument is at the treatment site when a neutral electrode failure is indicated, then
tissue might be cut mechanically with the HF instrument. This could result in bleeding and
perforation.
•• Note that the output of energy automatically stops when the CQM indicates a neutral
electrode failure.

the maximum possible output power levels in watts. The actually applied power depends on
the tissue characteristics, e.g. resistance.
Minimum output power level
If the output power level of a mode is set below the minimum allowed value by the user, then
the electrosurgical generator automatically sets the output power level to 0. Instead of a
number for the output power level, [--] is displayed. Each mode has specific minimum output
power levels. Refer to the section “Mode characteristics according to IEC 60601-2-2” on
page 99 in the Appendix B. It is impossible to change the mode or the output power level
during activation.
Selecting the settings on the touch screen
To set the required output settings proceed as follows:

Tapping [Off] on the Mode Screen completely deactivates cutting or coagulation for this
output socket. Then, instead of a number for the output power level, [--] is displayed.
8.5 The bipolar RFITT coagulation modes
The RFITT modes are available only for selected CELON bipolar applicators, e.g.
CelonProCurve V.
RFITT modes
During activation, the electrosurgical generator provides audible feedback of the coagulation
status. The frequency of the output tone is proportional to the tissue resistance at any
particular moment. As the measured tissue resistance increases, the frequency of the output
tone also increases. This permits audible monitoring of the coagulation status since the
latter is directly connected with the tissue resistance.
Energy is applied until the tissue resistance exceeds a limit value, i.e. automatic endof-procedure detection. Then the power output is automatically stopped or reduced to a
minimum, because the coagulation process is completed due to desiccation of the tissue.
This is indicated by an intermittent audible signal.
Detailed information on output limits and output characteristics are given in the “Appendix A”
on page 95.
Application time and energy counter for RFITT modes
Figure 8.4
Counters on the Set Screen and during activation
On the Set Screens of RFITT modes an application time counter and an energy counter are
displayed. The counters indicate previous treatment parameters. During activation of the
electrosurgical generator these counters are constantly updated.
-- The application time counter shows the total application duration of output power in
minutes and seconds in the format [00:00].
After 999 minutes and 59 seconds the application time counter starts counting from 0.

Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined
by an electromagnetic site surveya, should be less than the
compliance level in each frequency rangeb.
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked
with the following symbol:
Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is
affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV
broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic
environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Olympus CELON
Precision is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Olympus CELON
Precision should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the
device.
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment and this device
This device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances
are controlled. The customer or user of this device can help prevent electromagnetic interference
by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation
distance [d] in metres [m] can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the
transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts [W] according to the
transmitter manufacturer.
Note 1: For 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range
applies.
Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is
affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

APPENDIX A
Alarm system
An alarm condition is indicated about one second after detection and securing.
Log file for alarm conditions
The alarm system provides a log of occurrences of alarm conditions. The eldest
log is overwritten by the latest log when the capacity of 4098 logs is reached. Only
authorized service personnel can read log data.
Alarm tones
Depending on the priority of an error, the alarm tones sound different.

If the alarm system is powered down, then the log is still maintained by an internal
electrical power source. In case of a total loss of power, i.e. mains electricity as well
as internal power source, the complete log is erased immediately.
