The clinical engineer and his or her staff, by virtue of their responsibility for the equipment control program, can make a significant contribution in assuring that electrosurgical units and their accessories are effective and cause minimal harm to patients and staff. This is accomplished not only through the preventive maintenance/periodic inspection/repair functions that they are so well known for providing, but also through their active participation in the process of equipment selection and in the investigation of incidents suspected of arising from the use of these devices. This article outlines specific responsibilities in each of these three areas, including a detailed periodic inspection program for electrosurgical units.
临床工程师及其工作人员由于负责设备控制程序，在确保电外科设备及其附件有效且对患者和工作人员造成最小伤害方面可做出重大贡献。这不仅通过他们广为人知的预防性维护/定期检查/维修功能来实现，还通过他们积极参与设备选型过程以及对怀疑由这些设备使用引起的事件进行调查来实现。本文概述了这三个领域中每个领域的具体职责，包括电外科设备的详细定期检查程序。
