GENERAL PRECAUTIONS – It is dangerous to ignore the following warnings! Every electro-surgical unit has its own characteristics and therefore, before using it, it is advisable to check its functioning, without taking into consideration the previous experiences with other devices only.

and a decrease of the output power into the application point (which leads the operator to raise it, dangerously); Never exceed 1/3 of the max. output power for each monopolar current when using the paediatric neutral electrodes, or 1/5 when using the electrodes for babies; Use the disposable neutral electrodes only once, by paying attention to the instructions on the packaging.

DATA STORING AT THE SWITCHING ON When switched on, or after a temporary leak of current: The unit always stores all the settings/regulations used when switched off (see also Par. “PROGRAMS AND MEMORIES”); The unit does not keep the selection of the bipolar coagulation AUTO, and it automatically sets the coagulation MICRO.
Page 7
Just in case of a cable with a different plug from Alsa standard type, ask for: - GEISTER cables, by specifying the model and the instrument connector type - Adaptor (34-9590), for the cables with non insulated plugs from 2 to 8mm, or with insulated plug 4mm);...

Alternatively, two active electrodes (two handles, or one handle and one forceps for coagulation, or other), both of them by foot-switches (This mode is possible by selecting the pre-set programs 6 and 7 “See Par. “PROGRAMS AND MEMORIES”); !!! BIPOLAR FUNCTIONING !!! The unit can always be used for the bipolar functioning.

Use cutting electrodes (blade, needle, Hook type, or the external part of the dissector, in laparoscopy) from 30- 40W. COMBINATED CUT (CUT ALTERNATED TO COAGULATION) (ENDO) – For flexible endoscopy with cutting phases alternated to coagulation phases This is a constant voltage current and it is controlled by an automatic power self adjustment system (APC System) according to the characteristics of the tissues.
Page 10
“SOFT” COAGULATION – Low superficial sparkling effect, and good deep coagulating effect This current guarantees a good deep coagulating effect, and a very low superficial coagulating effect.. It is suitable for coagulations performed or by forceps/surgical instrument or touching the tissues by an active ball electrode of 4-5mm at least. This current is controlled by an automatic system (ADC System) for the self regulation of the functioning, which guarantees that the power selected by the operators remains constant according to the characteristics of the tissues.

FUNCTIONING FOR THE FLEXIBLE ENDOSCOPIC SURGERY In order to favour this kind of use, the unit is equipped with 1 specific pre-set program (See Par. “PROGRAMS AND MEMORIES”, program 8), where the following features are already memorized: Activation mode and output available In this program are not set output powers or currents for the normal monopolar use because this choice depends on the operator.
Page 13
Use the flexible electrodes of the endoscopes, from 20-30W for the papillotomy, from 20-30W for the polipectomy with polypus 5mm, and from 40-50W for polypus 6mm or more. COAGULATING CUT (BLEND-2) – Not suitable at all. COMBINATED CUT (CUT ALTERNATED TO COAGULATION) (ENDO) – For flexible endoscopy with cutting phases alternated to coagulation phases This is a constant voltage current and it is controlled by an automatic power self adjustment system (APC System) according to the characteristics of the tissues.
Page 14
“SOFT” COAGULATION AT LOW VOLTAGE – Low superficial sparkling effect, and good deep coagulating effect This current guarantees a good deep coagulating effect, and a very low superficial coagulating effect. It is suitable for coagulations performed or by forceps/surgical instrument or by touching the tissues with an active ball electrode of 4-5mm at least.
Page 15
FUNCTIONING FOR THE UNDER LIQUID ENDOSCOPIC SURGERY (TUR, TURP, TURV, etc.) In order to favour this kind of use, the unit is equipped with 1 specific pre-set program (See Par. “PROGRAMS AND MEMORIES”, programs 8), where the following features are already memorized: Activation mode and output available for the connection of the resectoscope In this program are not set output powers or currents because this choice depends on the operator.
Page 16
This current is controlled by an automatic system (ADC System) for the self regulation of the functioning, which guarantees that the power selected by the operators remains constant according to the characteristics of the tissues. Control devices to be used (area C): With the selection key MODE, select the current BLEND-1, then adjust the power with the regulation keys UP/DOWN;...

Impossibility to use the monopolar currents (the displays for the monopolar currents powers are switched off); Activation modes and outputs available according to the different settings Just in case of cables with connection plugs which are different from GEISTER standard type, ask for: - GEISTER cables, by specifying the model and the instrument connector type;...

CURRENTS FOR COAGULATION “MICRO” COAGULATION – Very soft coagulating effect This is a constant voltage current and it is controlled by an automatic power self adjustment system (APC System) according to the characteristics of the tissues. It is the most suitable current when operating on extremely delicate tissues (i.e for neurosurgery).
Page 20
ADVICE For the Cut: In order to optimize the functioning of the bipolar cut and obtain the perfect cut without any “sticking” of the tissues on the electrode, the above mentioned powers maybe have to be changed through small variations of 10/15W each time.
Page 21
PROGRAMS AND MEMORIES The unit is provided with 10 memories (9 programmable memories and 1 for the storage of the data at the switching off), which allow to set 9 complete functioning programs, that can be selected by simply pressing the shifting keys UP/DOWN until the desired memory is chosen.
Page 22
The pre-setting of these memories allows to use the unit as follows: With 2 active electrodes: One active electrode or by hand-switches (connected to the socket 3-A) or by foot-switches ( connected to the socket 5-A ). In order to activate the different active electrodes shall be pressed (on the handles or on the twin foot switch) the yellow key/pedal for the pure/coagulating cut and the blue key/pedal for the coagulation currents.
Page 23
Another active electrode, for the normal electro-surgery by hand-switches (connected to the socket 4-B ) pressing the yellow keyl for the pure/coagulating cut and the blue key for the coagulation currents.(See Par. “CONNECTION AND USE OF THE PEDAL FOOT-SWITCHES”); C. !!! BIPOLAR FUNCTIONING !!! The bipolar functioning is always available.
Page 24
When the device is turned on, this control system carries out a complete self-test cycle over the hardware and the software (all the Led and displays light up, and the loudspeaker is activated). If everything works properly, this phase ends by a short acoustic signal. If the system detects any problem, the faults are indicated as described above, and the operator must either try to eliminate all the possible causes, or switch the equipment off and ask for a technical assistance.

Its disposal must be done according to the different National Rules, by bearing in mind that the accessories (notably the active and neutral ones) get in contact with the patients tissues, and therefore require a special attention. CLEANING AND STERILIZATION Clean the unit with a neutral soap solution, by taking care that no liquid goes inside, and then wipe it by a dry cloth.
