ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATOR ESG-400
NOTE
In case a contact quality monitor alarm arises
during a procedure, an audible signal can be
heard and the output stops automatically.
For the removal of the neutral electrode, do not
peel off the neutral electrode by pulling the
cable. Start the plate removal at a corner.
Slowly peel back the plate. Otherwise, skin
injury may result.
1.
Checking the contact quality monitor indicator
Before connecting any neutral electrode to the electrosurgical generator,
make sure the contact quality monitor indicator for split neutral electrodes
illuminates red and the contact quality monitor indicator for non-split neutral
electrodes is off.
2.
Preparation of the neutral electrode
Peel off the protective liner from the neutral electrode and attach the plate
to the patient’s body according to the neutral electrode manufacturer’s
instruction manual.
3.
Connecting the neutral electrode
For neutral electrodes with a pre-attached cable consider the following
procedure
:
Insert the neutral electrode plug into the neutral electrode
socket
(suitable for 2 pin plugs with 2.5 mm pin diameter and pin
spacing 10 mm, US standard) on the front panel of the electrosurgical
generator (see figure 3.5).
For neutral electrodes without a pre-attached cable consider the
following procedure:
Lift the lever-locking arm of the neutral electrode
cable “P-cord”, and then position the neutral electrode tab evenly
between the clamp jaws. Lock the clamp by fully pressing down the
lever-locking arm (see figure 3.6). Insert the “P-cord” plug on the
electrosurgical generator side into the neutral electrode socket (suitable
for 2 pin plugs with 2.5 mm pin diameter and pin spacing 10 mm, US
standard) on the front panel of the electrosurgical generator (see figure
3.5).
