    INTRODUCTION Intended purpose of the ICC 350 The ICC 350 is a high-frequency surgical unit for cutting and coagulation. Due to its performance features, it has universal applications. To meet the special requirements of surgical specialty fields, the ICC 350 is available in several versions. How do I work with this instruction manual? Please read the instruction manual for the ICC 350.
  • Page 9: Initial Operation

    INITIAL OPERATION Read carefully before initial operation of the unit. In the development and production of this high-frequency surgical unit, the relevant, generally recognized rules of technology, as well as the valid occupational safety and accident prevention regulations have been taken into consideration. This ensures that patients, employees and third parties are protected from dangers to life and health during intended application of the high- frequency surgical unit, to the extent permitted by the type of application intended.
  • Page 11: Risks And Safety Of High-Frequency Surgery

    RISKS AND SAFETY OF HIGH-FREQUENCY SURGERY Unintentional thermal tissue damage High-frequency surgery is associated in principle with various risks for the patient, the personnel and surroundings. In order to avoid these risks in practice, the surgeon and his/her assistants must recognize these risks and observe the appropriate rules for prevention of damage. In the following, these risks and rules for prevention of damage are explained.
  • Page 12 3.1.2 Unintentional activation of an HF generator Unintentional activation of an HF generator can lead to burns on the patient if the active electrode hereby touches the patient directly or indirectly through electrically conductive objects or wet cloths. Unintentional activation of an HF generator can, for example, be caused by: Ÿ...
  • Page 13: The Neutral Electrode

    3.1.3 Unintentional thermal tissue damage due to inappropriate application Generally speaking, the bipolar coagulation technique should be applied in preference to the monopolar coagulation technique. This particularly applies to coagulations on straight organs, on which the high-frequency current flows over longer areas through diameters which are approximately equal or become even smaller.
  • Page 14 WARNING The effective contact surface, i.e. the electrical conductive value between the neutral electrode and the patient must correspond to the HF capacity used, meaning the intensity of the HF current. Here the effective contact surface means the surface of the neutral electrode which has electrically conductive contact to the skin of the patient during high-frequency surgery.
  • Page 15 3.1.6 Unintentional thermal tissue damage due to inattentiveness Like a scalpel, high-frequency surgery is always a potential source of danger if handled without care. WARNING The cutting or coagulation electrodes should always be handled with care and laid aside in the intervals between use so that neither the patient nor other persons can come in contact with the electrodes.
  • Page 16: 3.1.9 Unintentional Burns Due To Hot Electrodes

    WARNING Make certain during high-frequency surgical operations that anesthetics, skin cleaning agents and disinfectants are nonflammable. If their use is unavoidable, they must have completely evaporated and the vapor must be removed from the area of spark formation before switching on the high-frequency surgical unit.
  • Page 17: Cardiac Pacemaker

    During cutting procedures, forced coagulation and spray coagulation, the unavoidable electric arcs between an active electrode and the tissue nevertheless have the effect that a portion of the high-frequency alternating current is rectified, from which more or less strongly modulated, low-frequency current components result which stimulate electrically stimulable structures such as nerves and muscles.

  • Page 21: Description Of The High-Frequency Surgical Unit

    Monopolar and bipolar cutting modes With the ERBOTOM ICC 350, both monopolar and bipolar cutting electrodes can be operated. A special operating mode is available for the users of bipolar cutting electrodes, which can be called up as program “b“.
  • Page 22 ENDO CUT A further special problem during endoscopic operations, for example during polypectomy and papillotomy, consists in the fact that the electrodes used for cutting, for example polypectomy loops and papillotomes, must be guided on long wire pulls through narrow working channels on flexible endoscopes, and therefore the operator has no direct control over the cutting procedure.
  • Page 23 The footswitch or Auto Start is used for activation. In the Auto Start mode, the HF generator is automatically activated if both poles of the bipolar coagulation instruments used contact electrically conductive tissue simultaneously. Auto Start can occur either immediately at the moment of contact with the tissue or more or less temporally delayed.
  • Page 24: Description Of The Controls

  • Page 29: Working With Programs

    The basic setting for program “0“ is defined and programmed by the manufacturer and cannot be reprogrammed by the user. For the ERBOTOM ICC 350, Software Version 1.05 and up, the basic setting for program “0“ is defined and stored as follows: AUTO CUT: Auto.
  • Page 30 setting is also to be used for the following operations, it can be accepted into this program. To do this, only the SAVE key 6.1 must be depressed uninterruptedly long enough until “Set“ is indicated on display 3.6 for Auto Coag 1 and the signal heard continuously during storage changes into an intermittent signal.
  • Page 31 The ERBOTOM ICC 350 is also equipped in the ENDO CUT mode with an automatic initial incision control which recognizes low-resistance loads and controls the HF generator in such a way that it briefly provides enough power so that the initial incision can proceed without delay.
  • Page 32: Connecting Socket For Neutral Electrodes

    The ERBOTOM ICC 350 is equipped with a Neutral Electrode Safety System (NESSY) which automatically monitors the electrical connection between the neutral electrode and the unit as well as application of the neutral electrode on the patient.
  • Page 33: Connecting Socket For The Auto Bipolar Function Field

    WARNING For simultaneous connection of two electrode handles to both monopolar connecting sockets 8 and 9, electrode handles (particularly if they look alike) must be laid down in such a way that there can be no mix-up. In case of doubt, a trial activation of the unit should be performed without contacting the patient with the active electrode.
  • Page 34: Terminal For Potential Equalization

    Terminal for potential equalization For this, see Chapter 10.4, INSTALLATION. Volume of the acoustic signal The volume of the acoustic signals can be adjusted with this knob. This does not apply to warning signals, which must always be sufficiently loud. WARNING An important purpose of this acoustic signal is to protect the patients and personnel from burns due to unintentional activation of the high-frequency generator (for more information, see Chapter...

    LF leakage current to less than 0.05 mA. This error is indicated visually as Error no. 5 and acoustically. The HF generator can only be activated once the cause of error has been eliminated. In this way, the ERBOTOM ICC 350 also fulfills the Type CF requirements in the Earth Referenced mode.
  • Page 36 In practice, despite careful positioning of the patient on the operating table, unintentional contact of the patient with electrically conductive objets can occur. In some operations, such contacts are unavoidable. The ICC is therefore equipped with an HF leakage monitor, which automatically monitors the HF leakage current and generates a visible warning signal if the HF leakage exceeds 150 mA If the HF leakage current exceeds 300 mA , the HF leakage monitor additionally produces an...
  • Page 37 Custom adaptation of the maximum time limit In consideration of the risk of thermal tissue damage due to unintentional switching on of an HF generator, an unintentionally switched-on HF generator should be switched off again as soon as possible automatically. Since the unit cannot automatically distinguish between intentional and unintentional switching on of an HF generator, the automatic switching off of an HF generator must not occur too quickly, because this would hinder the operator during cutting and/or coagulation.
  • Page 38 NESSY is a flexible Neutral Electrode Safety System that can be adapted optimally to the neutral electrodes selected by the user. For appropriate advice and adaptation to suit requirements, please contact your local Erbe office (see Chapter Addresses). 4-18...
  • Page 39 WARNING For reasons of safety, a change to NESSY may only be made if it has been properly ensured that all users of this unit are informed in good time about this change. In addition, a change to NESSY must be properly documented. When using dual-surface neutral electrodes, NESSY also monitors the application direction of the contact surface relative to the direction of current flow.
  • Page 40 Correct application The correct application must be observed not only for divided, but also for undivided neutral electrodes. WARNING Before the neutral electrode is applied to the patient’s body, a check must be made as to whether the green NESSY signal (LED) does not light when using a neutral electrode with two contact surfaces.
  • Page 41 You may connect three instruments at the same time to the ICC. For reasons of safety, these can however only be used alternately. Only one socket ever carries HF voltage. Each time after switching on the power switch, an automatic test program is started within the unit which recognizes and signals the following errors in the operating controls for the unit and for accessories connected to the unit: If a key on the front panel is shorted or pressed due to an error when the power switch is...
