Functional Overview of Key Circuits
Temperature-Sensing Circuit
System logic uses the temperature-sensing circuit to monitor the internal temperature of
the generator. If the temperature rises above 185 °F (85 °C), the system displays error code
E7 and disables the RF output.
Speaker Circuit
System logic uses the audio circuit to generate activation tones and alarm tones. You can
adjust volume for the activation tones from the back panel of the generator.
Diagnostic Circuit
The diagnostic circuit converts the analog temperature and analog DC voltage
measurements to digital values. This information is sent to the control logic for continuous
monitoring.
Patient Return Electrode Sensing Circuit
The patient return electrode sensing module senses and sends signals to the system logic,
which displays which type of patient return electrode is attached to the patient.
When connecting a single-plate patient return electrode to the generator, the pad-sensing
module detects if the resistance is below 5 Ω. If it is below 5 Ω, the SurgiStat displays the
green single-plate LED on the front of the generator.
When connecting a split-plate patient return electrode to a patient and the pad-sensing
module detects a resistance between 10 and 135 Ω, the SurgiStat displays the green split-
plate LED on the front of the generator.
The pad-sensing module constantly monitors the patient contact quality. If the impedance
changes by a specific amount, the generator displays an alarm and immediately
deactivates the RF output power.
RF Amplifier Circuit
The RF amplifier circuit generates the RF output energy that is delivered to the patient. It
is a single-ended power amplifier, incorporating three power MOSFETs and two step-up
transformers.
Notice
You cannot adjust alarm volume up or down.
Warning
Patient return electrode contact quality is only monitored when a split-plate patient return
electrode is attached to the patient.
