Functional (Operational) Checks
Generator Operation
Checking the Monopolar Mode (with Handswitch)
1. Connect a handswitching handpiece to the Monopolar handswitching receptacle.
2. Activate, one at a time, the Cut and Coag handswitching controls. Verify that each
control causes the correct indicator and tone to sound.
Setting Up for Bipolar Surgery
1. Press the Bipolar mode selector on the front of the generator. The Bipolar Mode
indicator will illuminate.
2. Select Bipolar footswitching by pressing the Foot Control selector.
3. Select the Bipolar mode by pressing the Bipolar mode switch on the front panel.
Note:
The generator automatically changes to bipolar footswitching when you select
the Bipolar mode.
4. Connect a Bipolar cable to the Bipolar receptacle.
5. Connect the compatible footswitch to the Monopolar Footswitch receptacle on the
rear of the unit. The receptacle works for both Monopolar and Bipolar footswitching
activation.
6. Connect a forceps instrument to the Bipolar cable.
Checking the Bipolar Mode (with Footswitch)
1. Select the Bipolar mode by pressing the Bipolar mode switch on the front panel.
Note:
The generator automatically changes to bipolar footswitching when you select
the Bipolar mode.
2. Verify that the Bipolar mode LED illuminates green, and that the system generates the
coag tone when you press the Coag pedal (blue) or the Cut pedal (yellow) on the
footswitch.
3. While activating the Bipolar mode, rotate the volume control over the full range to
verify that the sound is audible throughout the range.
4. Confirm that releasing the Coag pedal or Cut pedal returns the generator to an idle
state.
Notice
Bipolar surgery does not require a return electrode.
