10.
Follow the following steps:
a.
Push the ESI under test through the LSE ring electrode slowly (approximately 3 feet every 4 seconds)
b.
The Alarm will sound when the ESI is first inserted into the electrode as that is the bare tip of the instrument.
c.
Alarm will sound and LED will Flash if a fault is found in the coating which will indicate a fault with the instrument.
11.
After the test is completed turn the base unit off and remove the clamp end from the unit under test, remove the electrode from the probe wire and
remove the ground wire and probe wire from the base unit. Properly store the unit and accessories away.
12.
Follow the proper established hospital procedure after testing is completed with regards to the instrument under test.
NOTES:
A.
The unit should always be switched off prior to removing or repositioning of the ground lead, the HV red wire or the Saddle Block..
B.
If the unit is on and you touch the ground lead (clamp end) and the probe end of the base unit at the same time you will rece ive a very mild
“tingle”. To remove the possibility of receiving the “tingle” always use surgical gloves when handling the leads.
C.
You can hold the Saddle Block from the top or the sides as long as you do not touch the connection points.
Note: Using the Tri-Hole Electrode:
The Set-up is the same as shown above except turn the voltage to 4.2KV +/- .3KV
a.
Insert the round electrosurgical instrument into hole size closest to the diameter of the ESI under test. NOTE: Hole sizes are slightly
larger than 3mm, 5mm and 10mm from the bottom (pin side) up
.
For Bi-Polar Instruments: (wear gloves)
a.
The Set-up is the same as the steps in #5
b.
Place the Brush Electrode into the Saddle Block in the slot on the right side away from the pin.
a.
Attach the Green ground wire to the back end of the bi-Polar forceps. Make sure the clamp is connected to both pins.
b.
Insert the end of one tine of the Bi-Polar forceps into the middle of the brush,
Hold on the top
Hold on the
sides of the
base
