with the setting AUTO COAG BIPOLAR.
WARNING!
Only use Auto Start if unintentional contact of tissue with the coagulation instrument can be
safely avoided. For endoscopic interventions, such as laparoscopy, pelviscopy or thoracoscopy,
Auto Start should not be used because unintentional contact of the coagulation instrument with
tissue cannot be safely avoided here.
In some countries the ICC units are supplied with the AUTO START function deactivated. This
may also apply in your case. If you nevertheless wish to use the AUTO START function, please
consult your local ERBE branch office. You will find the address on the last page of the Instruction
Manual. Technical Service will activate the AUTO START function for you on request.
The AUTO START key has no function on the ICC 200 No. 10128-027, 10128-028, 10128-058!
ARGON PLASMA COAGULATION
Set AUTO COAG to FORCED. Press the selection key again. The display shows: A.60. This
means: APC mode, power limitation 60 W. The APC mode is only available on the ICC 200 EA.
