SurgiStat Low-Power Electrosurgical Generator Service Manual
Safety Precautions When Testing the Generator
Servicing
Cleaning
When taking troubleshooting measurements use appropriate precautions, such as using isolated
tools and equipment, using the “one hand rule,” etc.
Potentially lethal AC and DC voltages are present in the AC line circuitry, high voltage DC circuitry,
and associated mounting and heat sink hardware described in this manual. These potentials are
not isolated from the AC line. Take appropriate precautions when testing and troubleshooting this
area of the generator.
High-frequency, high-voltage signals that can cause severe burns are present in the RF output stage
and in the associated mounting and heat sink hardware. Take appropriate precautions when
testing and troubleshooting this area of the generator.
Hazardous Electrical Output —
This equipment is for use only by trained, licensed physicians.
Warning
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
Precaution
Read all warnings, precautions, and instructions provided with this generator before testing.
Notice
There are no internal user serviceable parts. For repairs, return the generator to Covidien.
The generator contains electrostatic-sensitive components. When repairing the generator, work at
a static-control workstation. Wear a grounding strap when handling electrostatic-sensitive
components, except when working on an energized generator. Handle circuit boards by their
nonconductive edges. Use an anti-static container for transport of electrostatic-sensitive
components and circuit boards
Provide as much distance as possible between the electrosurgical generator and other electronic
equipment (such as monitors). An activated electrosurgical generator may cause interference with
them.
After installing a new low voltage power supply, verify that the voltages are correct.
Notice
Do not clean the generator with abrasive cleaning or disinfectant compounds, solvents, or other
materials that could scratch the panels or damage the generator.
