Electrosurgery is a widely used modality for separation of tissue plains, achievement of hemostasis and devitalization of pathologic tissue structures. Although this technology has been used in almost every operating room in the world for many many decades, it still is recognized by leading clinical organizations as potentially the most dangerous device during surgery (1). In addition to technical problems, human error is recognized to be an important factor in those unfavorable outcomes, especially as during medical procedures electrosurgical systems are in close proximity to the physician - patient interface and physically in direct contact with both.
