6.11 Custom adaptation of the maximum time limit
In consideration of the risk of thermal tissue damage due to unintentional switching on of an HF
generator, an unintentionally switched-on HF generator should be switched off again as soon as
possible automatically. Since the unit cannot automatically distinguish between intentional and
unintentional switching on of an HF generator, the automatic switching off of an HF generator
must not occur too quickly, because this would hinder the operator during cutting and/or
coagulation. Since the risk of thermal tissue damage varies greatly among the various operating
modes, units of the ICC model series can adapt and store the maximum time limit for each
operating mode and in each storable program via the test program No. 10 of at least 3 sec. to a
maximum of 900 sec.
Instructions for custom adaptation of the maximum time limit
1. Call up Test program 10 as follows:
2. Press key 2.1 with the unit switched off and switch on the power.
Pr. = Program appears in Display 2.3
The program number, e.g. 1, appears in Display 3.6.
3. By pressing key 3.5 Ý , program no. 10 is set and
4 . by pressing key 2.1, this program is activated.
The red signal lamp “Time limit“ is illuminated and the respective maximum time limit
appears in the displays on the function fields.
5. By pressing the Ý or ß key beneath the respective display, the maximum time limit for
each function field can be custom adjusted from 3 to 900 seconds.
6. By pressing key 2.1, Test program 10 can be deactivated and the set maximum time limits
are stored.
7. It is possible to end the Test mode by switching off the power switch.
WARNING!
For reason of safety, a change in the automatic limitation of the maximum time limit must only
be performed if all users of this unit are informed properly and in good time about this change.
In addition, a change in the automatic limitation of the maximum time limit must be properly
documented.
