5. Do not return any instrument giving a fault condition to the tray, but instead discard it or
isolate it for further study. Record the type of AEM Monitor alarm as “Instrument
Insulation Fault” or “Instrument Cord Connection Fault”.
NOTICE
In the case of an Instrument Cord Connection Fault, the fault may be in the cord itself or in the cord’s
electrical connection with the instrument.
Setup for End Point Monitoring System (Bipolar Applications)
1. Attach the power cord supplied with the AEM Monitor to the power entry module on the
rear panel. Ensure that the power cord is fully seated into the module.
2. Place the AEM Monitor on a cart or attach it to a boom system.
3. Place the electrosurgical generator (ESU) on top of the monitor or in close proximity to
the monitor to allow for connection of the Bipolar ESU Adapter.
4. Connect the AEM Monitor power cord to a wall receptacle with the proper voltage.
CAUTION
Connect the power cord to a wall outlet having the correct voltage. Otherwise product damage may
result.
Self-Check (Power On Self Test – POST)
5. Turn on the AEM Monitor. The system completes an automatic self-check (POST).
Encision recommends that this self-check be run before beginning each surgical
procedure. If the monitor power is left on between procedures, press the Reset button to
initiate the POST function. During POST, all of the visual indicators illuminate and two
beeps are heard. If this is not the case, see Section 4 System Maintenance and
Troubleshooting.
WARNING
Do not use the AEM Monitor unless the system properly completes the automatic self-check.
Otherwise, monitor functions may not be operative.
6. Connect the Bipolar ESU Adapter into the receptacle on the AEM Monitor and the bipolar
output receptacle of the electrosurgical generator.
NOTICE
The release tab of the monitor plug end must be facing up before inserting into the receptacle.
