AUTO BIPOLAR function field
All parameters can be set in this
function field and are relevant to bi-
polar coagulation:
5.1 Selection of the Auto Start mode
If the unit is to be activated by Auto Start, three different Start modes are available:
AUTO START 2
Auto Start with a long start delay
AUTO START 1 Auto Start with a short start delay
AUTO START 0 Auto Start without a start delay
AUTO START OFF No Auto Start
The operator can use the start delay, for example, to prepare or safely grasp the tissue to
be coagulated with the coagulation forceps before starting.
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.
The AUTO START key has no function on the ICC 350 No. 10128-025!
n 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.
5.2 Power limitation
With the Auto Start switched off, the HF power output can be limited in 1 watt steps from
120 watts to 1 watt. With Auto Start, the HF power output is limited to 50 W max. If the
display 5.3 shows
“ —“, the Auto Bipolar mode is switched off. The power limit is
recommended, for example, for pointed bipolar coagulation forceps, because in this way
thermal damage to the forceps points can be prevented if these directly contact each
other.
