WARNING!
Make sure the Therapy probes have been gone through an initial cleaning
process.
Turn the unit on by setting the Power switch
(1)
from 0 to 1:
The rocker switch illuminates GREEN and the Therapy Probe tip begins to heat
up.
5.2 START OF COAGULATION PROCEDURE
Select the desired temperature (60°C to 120°C) by using the temperature selector
(6)
.
The therapy probe is being heated to the selected temperature.
If the preselected temperature is reached at the therapy probe head, the indicator Light
(8)
illuminates GREEN. If the Indicator light
(8)
goes out for a short period of time, the
therapy probe has momentarily fallen below the desired temperature range and a new
heating impulse is signalized.
Now you can start the coagulation process.
CAUTION!
If the probe comes into contact with tissue, no sizzling sound may be
audible. Such sound would signalize exceeded coagulation temperature
(above 100°C).
The System can keep the temperature constant at a hysteresis of about (
10%). The
actual temperature at the tip of the therapy probe is displayed on the Temperature
Display
(9).
If the red indicator light “Probe defective”
(5)
illuminates, a failure is indicated which can
have many reasons:
Therapy Probe is not plugged
Instrument cable is defective
Therapy probe is defective
Temperature is too high (see chapter 7
„Trouble shooting“)
