SurgiStat Low-Power Electrosurgical Generator Service Manual
Functional (Operational) Checks
Connecting Accessories
1. Connect a monopolar active electrode to the generator.
2. If a footswitch-activated device is being attached, connect a compatible footswitch to
the footswitch receptacle on the rear panel of the generator.
Checking the Patient Return Electrode Alarm Function
1. Adjust the power settings for each mode (Pure Cut, Blend, Desiccation, Fulguration,
and Bipolar) to 1 W.
2. Press the Cut pedal of the footswitch.
3. Verify that an alarm sounds for three seconds, and then the Patient Return Electrode
Sensing Alarm Indicator light illuminates. This indicates the patient return electrode is
not connected to the generator.
4. Verify that adjusting the volume control on the back of the generator (while the alarm
is sounding) cannot change the alarm’s sound level.
Checking the Monopolar Mode (with Footswitch)
1. Select monopolar foot control by pressing the Footswitch Control Selector until the
Monopolar Footswitch Control Indicator illuminates.
2. Connect a single-plate patient return electrode to the return electrode receptacle of
the generator. Verify that the green single-plate patient return electrode indicator
illuminates.
3. Press the Cut pedal on the footswitch. Verify that the Cut and Blend Activation
Indicator illuminates and that the system generates the Cut activation tone.
4. While activating the Cut mode, rotate the volume control over the full range to verify
that the sound is audible throughout the range.
5. Press the coag pedal on the footswitch. Verify that the Desiccate, Fulgurate, and
Bipolar Activation Indicator illuminates and that the system generates the coagulation
activation tone.
6. While activating the Coag mode, rotate the volume control over the full range to verify
that the sound is audible throughout the range.
Notice
Use of a split, quality-monitoring pad is recommended.
