WARNING
For simultaneous connection of two electrode handles to both monopolar connecting sockets 8
and 9, electrode handles (particularly if they look alike) must be laid down in such a way that
there can be no mix-up. In case of doubt, a trial activation of the unit should be performed
without contacting the patient with the active electrode.
10 Connecting socket for the AUTO BIPOLAR function field
Bipolar instruments for coagulation or cutting can be connected to this connecting socket.
The coagulation mode can be activated via pedal or Auto Start. In the coagulation mode, the
Auto Stop function is also available.
The bipolar cutting mode is available in Program “b“ and can be activated via the yellow pedal.
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..
11 Safety field
High-frequency surgical units of the ERBOTOM ICC series are equipped with various safety
devices to protect the patients and users.
12 Connecting socket for a dual-pedal footswitch
A dual-pedal footswitch can be connected to this connecting socket. When using a dual-pedal
footswitch, only the AUTO function field can be activated with the yellow pedal. Using the blue
pedal, either the AUTO COAG 2 or AUTO BIPOLAR function field can be activated. The blue
pedal is assigned to the AUTO COAG 2 or AUTO BIPOLAR function field via the key PEDAL
between the AUTO COAG 2 and AUTO BIPOLAR function fields.
13 Connecting socket for a single-pedal footswitch
A single-pedal footswitch can be connected to this connecting socket, by which the AUTO
BIPOLAR function field can be activated. When using the ICC 350 in combination with an
Argon Plasma coagulation unit model APC 300, the APC 300 is joined to this connecting socket
on the ICC 350 via a special cable (detailed information on this can be found in the APC 300
instruction manual).
WARNING
If both a dual-pedal footswitch and a single-pedal footswitch are connected to the unit, the
AUTO CUT, AUTO COAG 2 and AUTO BIPOLAR function fields can, for example, be activated
via the corresponding pedals without further changeovers on the unit.
