10.1
General Information
To each instrument connection, on the screen a cutting channel as a yellow field and a coagulation channel
as a blue field are assigned in horizontal direction. All settings of the device for clinical day-to-day operation
are done via the touchscreen. Further adjustments which will generally be made only once for the intended
workplace and rarely changed, are available in the
Setup
and
Service
menus, see section 10.6.7 “Service”,
page 66. In daily routine, the parameters of the unit for a specific application are selected quickly and easily
using pre-defined programs, which can then be modified or extended on a case-by-case basis as needed.
10.2
Selection and Deselection of Working Channels
If there is no cutting or coagulation function assigned
to a channel, this part is displayed on the screen as a
gray field. If the user touches the gray field at any
position, it is activated, and the parameters can be
adjusted accordingly.
In order to improve the clarity of the screen layout,
channels not required for the current application can
be deselected. For this purpose, touch the corres-
ponding area on the screen for at least two seconds.
The channel display of the corresponding channel
disappears from the screen and is replaced by a gray
area. Thus up to five of the six channels can be de-
selected. This approach is especially recommended
when working with programs that are tailored to very
specific applications.
Deselection of an HF output port that is not used
makes it much clearer to which of the two monopolar
HF output ports an instrument for a specific applica-
tion is to be connected (in the example: to the upper
of the two HF output ports)
When attempting to activate a deselected channel with its activation source, the gray channel will display a
message, accompanied by an intermittent acoustic signal. The HF current itself is disabled. To use the
deselected channel again, touch the corresponding area on the screen to activate it.
The maxium® smart C is equipped with an insertion detection, i.e. if a channel is activated via a foot switch
and no instrument is inserted, a message is displayed on the screen that informs the user that no
instrument is inserted into the channel that has been assigned to the foot switch.
