Bipolar cut / coagulation mode – SalineCut / SalineCoag
CAUTION
Use an electroconductive physiological saline
solution. Do not use a non-conductive solution
because this cause an error message and output
is disabled.
NOTE
Saline solution means 0.9 % sodium chloride
irrigation.
A neutral electrode is not required if performing
a bipolar cutting in a conductive fluid.
Bipolar coagulation mode – RFCoag
CAUTION
During RFCoag with RCAP mode an automatic
termination of the procedure (indicated by an
intermittent audible signal) only occurs if the
electrode is withdrawn from the tissue or if the
tissue is totally desiccated after a long
treatment time. For that reason it is essential
when using RFCoag with RCAP mode that the
procedure should be stopped by the user on the
basis of the applied energy, the duration of
application and the coagulation progress.
Before using any bipolar HF instrument which
does not have a cutting function reduce the
power level of the bipolar cutting modes to “--”
(zero) or switch “Off” the cut mode in the “Mode
screen.” Otherwise an unintended activation of
the cut mode (cut pedal is pressed) may cause
HF
instrument
damage,
patient
burns,
perforation and bleeding.
NOTE
If the procedure is not finished after 999
minutes and 59 seconds (“999:59”), the counter
restarts from “00:00.”
The energy counter changes as follow:
“0.00 kJ”...“9.99 kJ”,
“10.0 kJ”...“99.9 kJ”,
“100 kJ”...“999 kJ”. After exceeding an energy
of “999 kJ” the counter changes to “> 1 MJ”
(Mega joules).
