4 Mode of operation
In bipolar HF surgery, tissue coagulation is achieved by applying a high-frequency AC
current, which generates heat.
The ERGOeco bipolar coagulation instrument is a surgical instrument for use in
laparoscopic surgery.
It is used through surgical incisions in conjunction with devices for endoscopic use, such
as trocars and optics.
The active jaws are the uninsulated areas of the insert. The HF current flows from one jaw
of the instrument through the biological tissue to the second jaw to produce the desired
localised tissue effect.
The insert can be rotated and positioned by a rotary wheel on the handle.
5 Procedure during use
1. Prior to use, clean and sterilise the new product that is shipped in non-sterile condition
from the factory.
2. Check to make sure that all individual parts are present and mount the instrument (see
3. Connect the HF generator you plan to use to a matching instrument handle (see
chapter 1.1 “Scope of validity”).
4. Do not exceed the maximum permissible voltage (see chapter 11 “Technical data”).
5. Always perform a thorough visual inspection and function check before use.
6. Insert the jaws, in the closed state, into the trocar sleeve.
7. Insert the bipolar instrument into the body whilst keeping visual contact.
8. Only perform the operation if you have clear visibility.
9. After the surgery, disconnect the instrument from the HF generator and disassemble it.
10. Reprocess the devices after each use.
