Key Features
The SurgiStat II electrosurgical generator includes the latest technology. This unit
offers unsurpassed performance, flexibility, reliability, and convenience.
It includes the following features:
• Two levels of coagulation: desiccation and fulguration Desiccation
provides precise control of bleeding in localized areas. Fulguration provides
greater control of bleeding in highly vascular tissue over broad surface areas.
The RECQMS system requires
that you use a split-plate
patient return electrode. •
Return electrode sensing and contact quality monitoring
The SurgiStat II
incorporates a return electrode contact quality monitoring system
(RECQMS). This system determines the type of patient return electrode:
single or split-plate. The system also continually monitors the contact quality
between the patient and the split-plate return electrode. This feature is
designed to eliminate patient burns at the return electrode site.
•
Memory
The unit automatically powers up to the most recently used modes
and power settings.
•
Power adjustment during activation
You can change the power setting
while you activate the unit. If you change the power setting for the mode you
are using, your change affects the power you are applying to the patient. You
can increase or decrease power as much as three watts per second while
activating the unit.
•
Isolated RF output
This minimizes the potential of alternate site burns.
•
Standard connectors
These connectors accept the latest monopolar and
bipolar instruments.
•
Self diagnostics
These diagnostics continually monitor the unit to ensure
proper performance.
