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, the ICC 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.
WARNING
For reasons of safety, a change in the automatic limitation of the maximum time limit must only
be made 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, for example in the medical product logbook of the respective unit.
