Checking the Monopolar Output
Step 1 – Check the output for the cut modes
1.
Verify that the generator successfully completes the self-test as described in
Testing the Generator
in this section.
2.
Connect the test equipment for monopolar output.
a.
Connect one test cable to the left contact in the Monopolar Instrument
receptacle. Pass the test cable through the current transformer and connect
the current transformer to the voltmeter.
b.
Connect the second test cable to both pins of the Patient Return Electrode
receptacle.
c.
Connect the appropriate power resistor (refer to the table below) across
the output receptacles at the end of the test cables.
d.
Connect the monopolar footswitch to the Monopolar Footswitch
receptacle on the rear panel of the generator.
3.
Press the appropriate mode button (refer to the table below).
4.
Set the cut power (refer to the table below).
5.
Test the monopolar cut output.
a.
Press the footswitch cut pedal and, while activating the generator, note the
output on the voltmeter.
b.
Release the footswitch pedal.
c.
Based on the voltmeter setting and the current transformer you are using,
calculate and record the output current.
d.
Verify that the generator output is within the range specified in the table
below.
6.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each cut mode and resistor combination.
If the output is outside the specified range, calibrate the generator as described
in
Calibrating the Force EZ-C Series Electrosurgical Generator
in this
section. Then repeat this procedure. If the output for one or more cut modes
remains outside the specified range, call the Valleylab Service Center.
