Connection for patient electrode
(See also chapter 4.2 and chapter 5.1.1)
This RF equipment has patient electrode monitoring, which checks the correct attachment
of the patient electrode to the patient. For this purpose the use of a split patient electrode
is necessary. If a non-divided patient electrode is used, only the connection between
patient electrode and equipment is monitored.

Connecting socket for cutting and coagulation
Handpieces for the function fields Cut and Coag are connected to this socket. Handpieces
with or without finger switches are usable.
4
Connecting socket for Bipolar
Surgical instruments for bipolar applications are connected to this socket.
5
Function field Cut
The output power is divided into 5 default steps. To use power settings between each of
the default steps you can use the arrow keys
14
. When pressing the arrow UP button the
display counts up, when pressing the arrow DOWN button the display counts down. The
displayed value is the maximum power output in watts (see Technical Data chapter 8).
6
Function field Coagulation
(MBC 601 offers 2 separate adjustable channels 10a, 10b)
The output power is divided into 5 default steps. To use power levels between each of the
default steps you can use the arrow keys
14
. When pressing the arrow UP button the
display counts up, when pressing the arrow DOWN button the display counts down. The
displayed value is the maximum power output in watt (see chapter 8).
7
Function field Bipolar
Field for bipolar applications of Cutting
1
and Coagulation. The bipolar functions
coagulation and cut
1
are activated by a double footswitch or through an automatic mode.
When using the footswitch option the RF generator stays active as long as the footswitch
is pressed. This is the standard mode after switch on. The coagulation function can
alternatively be activated via fingerswitch, if corresponding instruments are used. If the
automatic button is pressed then coagulation occurs whenever resisting tissue is captured
and detected between the forceps legs. The coagulation is automatically stopped when the
tissue is adequately coagulated as detected by the increasing electrical resistance of the
dried coagulated tissue (tissue impedance higher than 3,5kohm). latestly after the
maximum time [5sec].
Bipolar Coag
(MBC 600 only)
To adjust the power level use the default buttons to go immediately to a pre-selected step
and then use the arrow keys
14
to adjust to intermediate levels of power. When pressing
the arrow UP button the display counts up, when pressing the arrow DOWN button the
display counts down. The displayed value is the maximum power output in watts).
ATTENTION:
Do not use Bipolar-Automatic-Mode (14) together with TissueLink Bipolar fluid
supported instruments. The irrigation fluid could disturb the recognition of the automatic function!!!
TissueLink fluid supported instruments have to be used only without activated bipolar automatic!
