Connecting socket for neutral electrodes
For monopolar cutting and/or coagulation, a suitable neutral electrode must be used that must
both be connected to the unit as well as carefully applied to the patient.
The ERBOTOM ICC 350 is equipped with a N eutral E lectrode S afety S ystem ( NESSY ) which
automatically monitors the electrical connection between the neutral electrode and the unit as
well as application of the neutral electrode on the patient. The latter only then however if neutral
electrodes with two contact surfaces are used (See Chapter 4.3.5 NESSY).
WARNING
If single-surface neutral electrodes are used, the NESSY only monitors the electrical connection
between the neutral electrode and the unit, but not the application of the neutral electrode on the
patient.
The pictograms beside the connecting socket for neutral electrodes have the following explanation:
Neutral electrode in general
The ERBOTOM ICC 350 conforms to the requirements of Type CF in accordance
with EN 60 601-1. In addition, this pictogram indicates in accordance with EN 60
601-2-2 that the neutral electrode can remain applied to the patient during
defribillation.
The capacitive grounding of the neutral electrode and the type CF appear to contradict one
another. The ICC 350 fulfills both specifications at the same time because it is equipped with a
low-frequency leakage current monitor, which automatically monitors low-frequency leakage
currents that flow into or out of the unit.
8 Connecting socket for the AUTO CUT and AUTO COAG 1 function fields
Electrode handles with fingerswitches can be operated from this connecting socket. This
connecting socket can only be activated via the fingerswitch.
Information regarding the connection and the activation possibilities of instruments for Argon
Plasma surgery (APC) can be found in the instruction manuals for APC units.

Connecting socket for the AUTO CUT and AUTO COAG 2 function fields
Electrode handles or other monopolar coagulation instruments with or without fingerswitches
can be operated from this connecting socket. Also other monopolar instruments with or without
switches, such as rigid or flexible endoscopes for endoscopic operations, can be connected to
this connecting socket. Make certain here that the plug type is suitable. This connecting socket
can either be activated via the fingerswitch or pedals of a footswitch.
