INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Aaron 1250™ Electrosurgical Generator is used to deliver RF energy via an assortment of surgical devices to cut
and coagulate different kinds of tissue. For the latest user information and technical bulletins, visit
www.boviemed.com.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

The Aaron 1250™ Generator is a high frequency isolated generator featuring cutting up to 120 watts, a blend mode,
2 coagulation modes and 1 bipolar mode. The generator offers a monopolar handpiece output, monopolar foot con-
trolled output and bipolar foot controlled output. . The generator has a return electrode contact and quality moni-
toring system (NEM) to reduce the risk of patient burns at the return electrode site. The pad-sensing feature allows
the user to use either a split or solid return electrode.

INTENDED USE

The Aaron 1250™ Electrosurgical Generator is intended for cutting, coagulation, ablation of tissue in general,
gynecologic, orthopedic, ENT and urological procedures performed in an operating suite and procedure room.
NOTICE:
The Aaron 1250™ is not intended for Tubal Ligation.

KEY FEATURES

The Aaron 1250™ Electrosurgical Generator includes the latest technology. This unit offers unsurpassed perform-
ance, flexibility, reliability, and convenience.
It includes the following features:
• Two levels of coagulation: Pinpoint Coagulation and Fulguration
Pinpoint Coagulation provides precise control of bleeding in localized areas.
Fulguration provides greater control of bleeding in highly vascular tissue over broad surface areas.
• Return electrode sensing and contact quality monitoring
The Aaron 1250™ incorporates a return electrode contact quality monitoring system (Bovie NEM™).
This system determines the type of patient return electrode: single or split plate. The system also continually
monitors the contact quality between the patient and the split-plate return electrode. This feature is designed to
eliminate patient burns at the return electrode site.
NOTICES:
The Bovie NEM™ system recommends that you use a split-plate patient return electrode.
Before activation, pad placement and visual verification of the split return electrode (split pad)
indicator on the front panel is recommended. After connecting the split pad to the generator and
placing the split pad securely to the patient, give the unit 5 to 10 seconds to recognize the split
pad. The split pad indicator will illuminate green. If the split pad and cord are attached to the gen-
erator without secure contact to the patient, the alarm indicator will illuminate red.
• Memory
The unit automatically powers up to the Cut and Coag modes and their last selected power settings.
• Isolated RF output
This minimizes the potential of alternate site burns.
• Standard connectors
These connectors accept the latest monopolar and bipolar instruments.
