A version of the conmed thermogard dual dispersive electrodes manufactured between october 1 2014 and july 5 2015 may not be compatible with some electrosurgical generators placing patients at risk for undetected pad lift and a potential burn. a customer alerted conmed of this condition on april 6 2016. these generators use a cqm (contact quality monitoring) technology which may rely on a preset upper limit (alarm limit) of the cqm impedance to detect pad lift. please contact conmed for a complete list of compatible cqm electrosurgical generators (esu's).
