Neutral electrode
In this menu, restrictions or permissions for certain
features of neutral electrodes can be set.
It can be determined whether the unit is to allow
operation with single-piece as well as with two-piece
electrodes, or with two-piece electrodes only.
Furthermore, various types of neutral electrodes can
be selected that do not allow certain current types, or
restrict their power for safety reasons.
The global default setting provides for operation with
split neutral electrodes only.
Using the function
Use Non-split NEs too
, use of a non-
split neutral electrode can be allowed.
The function
Mega Soft®
Baby NE
allows use of
especially small-sized neutral electrodes for neonates
and babies.
With the unit setting for these electrodes, there come
some limitations regarding the current types. In case of
monopolar current types, additionally the maximum
HF output power that can be selected is limited.
The function
Mega Soft® NE
allows use of capacitive
large-surface NEs for operations on neonates or infants.
With the unit setting for these electrodes, there come
some limitations regarding the current types. In case of
monopolar current types, additionally the maximum HF
output power that can be selected is limited.
The function
Mega Soft®
allows use of capacitive large-
surface NEs.
With the unit setting for these electrodes, there come
some limitations regarding the current types.
The function
Twin Pad II
allows use of split, reusable
NEs.
With the unit setting for these electrodes, there come
some limitations regarding the current types.
Using the
NE-Indicator
, the display for the patient
contact of a two-piece NE is automatically visualized.
This function is available only if split NEs are used, i.e. if
a non-split NE is used, the display disappears.
Selection of Baby NE, Mega Soft® Baby NE, Mega Soft® or Twin Pad II is a local setting, i.e. the restriction
originating from the combination applies only to the saved program.
