fulguration and bipolar procedures.
NOTICE:
The Specialist | PRO is not intended for Tubal Ligation.

KEY FEATURES

The Specialist | PRO Electrosurgical Generator includes the latest technology. This unit offers unsurpassed
performance, 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.
• Memory
The unit automatically powers up to the last selected modes and power settings.
• Isolated RF output
This minimizes the potential of alternate site burns.
• Standard connectors
These connectors accept the latest monopolar and bipolar instruments.
• Self diagnostics
These diagnostics continually monitor the unit to ensure proper performance.
• Return electrode sensing and contact quality monitoring
The Specialist | PRO incorporates a return electrode contact quality monitoring system (Bovie NEM™). This system detects
the type of return electrode: solid or split. The system also continually monitors the contact quality between the patient and the
split return electrode. This feature is designed to minimize patient burns at the return electrode site.
NOTICES:
The Bovie NEM™ system recommends that you use a split 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 3 seconds to recognize the split pad. The
split pad indicator will illuminate green. If the split pad and cord are attached to the
generator without secure contact to the patient, the alarm indicator will illuminate red.
