6 Connecting socket for bipolar coagulation instruments
Bipolar instruments can be connected to this connecting socket. The bipolar coagulation mode
is activated via pedal or Auto Start.
CAUTION!
When using pointed bipolar coagulation forceps, the tips can be thermally damaged due to electric
currents that are too high. To prevent this, it is recommended that the power limitation be set as
low as possible and/or make certain that the tips of the bipolar coagulation forceps do not touch
one another.
7 Safety field
High-frequency surgical units of the ERBOTOM ICC series are equipped with various safety
devices to protect the patients and users.
8 Connecting socket for a dual-pedal footswitch
A dual-pedal footswitch can be connected to this connecting socket. When using a dual-pedal
footswitch, the AUTO CUT function field can be activated with the yellow pedal and the AUTO
COAG function field can be activated with the blue pedal.
9 Terminal for potential equalization
For this, see Chapter 6.4 “INSTALLATION“.
10 Volume of the acoustic signal
The volume of the acoustic signals can be set using this knob.
This does not apply to warning signals, which must always be sufficiently loud.
WARNING!
An important purpose of this acoustic signal is to protect the patients and personnel from burns
due to unintentional activation of the high-frequency generator (for more information, see Chapter
3.1.2, Unintentional activation of a high-frequency generator).
11 Loudspeaker for acoustic signals
Always set up the instrument in such a way that acoustic signals are easily heard from this
speaker.
12 Power connection
This high-frequency surgical unit must only be connected via the power cord supplied by the
unit manufacturer or one of these of equal quality, which bears the national test symbol, to
correctly installed hospital grade power sockets. Here, for reasons of safety, no multiple sockets
or extension cords must be used if possible. If their use is unavoidable, they must be equipped
with a correctly functioning grounded connector.
13 Power fuses
The unit is secured with two fuses. If these fuses fail, an authorized technician should inspect the
unit for possible errors before putting back into operation.
