Installation and Placement
Place the SurgiStat II Electrosurgical Generator on any flat surface with a tilt
angle of not more than 10 degrees. The unit relies on natural convection cooling.
Do not block the rear vents.
Ensure that air flows freely on all sides of the unit.
Functional (Operational) Checks
Upon initial installation of the unit, perform the following checks. Refer to the
figures in Section 2,
Controls, Indicators, and Receptacles
, for the location of the
controls and connectors.
How to Set Up and Start the SurgiStat II Unit
1.
Verify that the power switch is in the Off (
O
) position and that no accessories
are connected to the unit.
2.
Connect a hospital-grade power cable to the AC power cable receptacle on the
back of the unit, then to a properly grounded wall outlet.
3.
Connect a two-pedal footswitch to the matching footswitch receptacle on the
back of the unit. Use only a Valleylab footswitch with the SurgiStat II
generator. Although other types of footswitches may fit, they may not be
compatible with this electrosurgical generator. Use of an incompatible
footswitch may cause unexpected output.
4.
Do not connect a patient return electrode to the front of the unit at this time.
5.
Turn on the unit by switching the power switch to the On (|) position.
6.
The correct startup for the unit is a quick flash of all indicators and a series of
beeps. The unit will return to the last mode and power setting used.
Notice
If required by local codes, connect the generator to the hospital equalization
connector with an equipotential cable. There is an equipotential connector on the
rear of the unit.
Connect the power cord to a wall outlet having the correct voltage. Otherwise,
product damage may result.
Warning
Connect the power cord to a properly polarized and grounded power source with
the frequency and voltage characteristics that match those listed on the back of
the unit.
Caution
At no time should you touch the active electrode or bipolar forceps. A serious
burn could result.
