Actual output power measurements may vary with type of test equipment used
and method of circuit connection.
RF Power-out is within 20% of nominal above (when greater than 10% of
maximum). RF Power-out is stable within 10% within 10 seconds after
activation.
RF output frequency is within 10% of nominal.

PREVENTIVE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Regular preventive inspection should be carried out to prevent reduced safety of
the unit due to aging, wear and tear, etc. The cable and electrode must be checked
before each use.
The Ellman Surgitron
®
Dual/EMC High-Frequency Radiosurgical Generator must be
inspected for technical safety at least once a year. The required technical safety
inspection is detailed in the Maintenance Manual.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for improper changes or repairs carried
out on the unit or its accessories by unauthorized persons, and the warranty of the
unit expires immediately.
NOTE: The open-circuit output peak-to-peak voltage for all modes is
approximately 1500 Volts.
