Section III
INTRODUCTION
Intention
This document must be used in conjunction with the G400 Operating Manual,
which is shipped with all new G400 generators. It is assumed that all service
personnel are familiar with and understand the contents of the operator
manual. If required replacements can be ordered from GML (part number
277012). This document is not under change control so it is the responsibility of
the reader to ensure they have the latest issue. Contacts are provided for this
purpose.
Purpose of document
This service manual is intended expressly for the use of qualified biomedical
engineers to perform basic output checks and safety tests to establish product
conformity for the purpose of acceptance testing and annual maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the generator. Gyrus ACMI
recommends that G400 generators be inspected at least every 12 months to
ensure continued safety of operation.
The “case open” calibration and repair requirements will be met by utilising
appointed service centres, working under the auspices of the OEM’s Service
Department.
Possession of this document does not constitute the right to perform any repair
related work upon G400 electro-surgical generators. All drawings are supplied
for reference only.
Any persons making use of this document to inspect or test the electro-surgical
equipment so described will be expected to have attained an appropriate level
of technical knowledge and skill such that all work is carried out in a fashion
that neither constitutes a risk to the personal health of the service engineer nor
compromises the electrical safety of the equipment.
The use of this document for the test and safety check tasks must be carried
out utilising appropriate items of test equipment. At all times, the persons
carrying out these functions must be aware of the implications of end user and
patient safety.
Electrosurgery
The equipment described within this document is an electrosurgical generator.
Electrosurgery functions by applying high frequency electrical power to the
patient under surgeon command. In some instances, electrical powers of 200
W or more can be applied to the patient to implement the requisite tissue effect.
