MODES & POWER SETTINGS:
Changing the Mode:
Operator should verify the selected mode with the surgeon. You cannot change mode while the
generator is active. To change the mode, release the activation. You can activate only one mode at a
time. When you change the modes within a function the power setting remains the same unless it
exceeds maximum for the new mode. In that case, it reverts to the maximum for new mode.
Changing the Power Setting:
Operator should verify the power setting for the selected mode with the surgeon. One cannot be
change the power setting when generator is activated. To increase the power ,release the activation
select the mode, press the up arrow, key for the selected mode. To decrease the power, press the down
arrow key for the selected mode.
To reach maximum or minimum power setting for selected mode, press up & down key. Release the
key when the desired setting is displayed.
Special Setting of the Generator:
Fast Setting by Recall:
Press
Recall
key to load recent setting of the generator to user set
default settings.
Fast Setting by Program:
Press
Program
key to select Program for fast setting of the generator.
Technique for keeping Power Setting Low:
1.
Using a small active electrode to deliver current & less power is required to produce the same
surgical effect.
2.
Coagulate tissues by using fulguration rather than desiccation because fulguration sparks to a
wider area of tissue, surface coagulation can be achieved with lower power setting using
Fulgurate rather than Desiccate.
3.
Hold active electrode just above the tissue & keep in motion as c sparking produces continuous
sparks that cut cleanly and quickly. Placing the active electrode in contact with the tissue
produces desiccation that increases tissue resistance. A higher power setting may be required to
overcome the increased resistance.
4.
Using Bipolar Surgery - Bipolar surgery requires lower power because the amount of tissue
included in electrosurgical circuit limits the tissue that is held in the bipolar instrument.
C.
HELPFUL HINTS TO AVOID HEMOSTAT BURNS:
Warning
: Hold hemostat with full grip.
Caution
-
Use lowest power setting possible of generator.
Caution
- Activate low voltage (Sp Cut/ Desiccate) waveform.
Caution
-
Avoid touching the patient by other hand.
Caution
-
Do not activate in open circuit, touch the electrode to object & then activate the generator.
Caution
-
Avoid metal to metal arcing.
