Fingerswitch control 1.1.8 Footswitch control WARNING Richard Wolf and ellman international strongly 1.1.9 Neutral plate recommend the use of the ellman Corneal Eye Shield for any radiofrequency surgical procedure involving the eyelid and the immediate 1.1.10 Non-Ionization radiation surrounding areas.
The Wolf / Surgitron 4.0 Dual RF/120 IEC enhanced capability Radiosurgical Generator described herein is a compact source of high frequency low temperature RF energy to be employed for a variety of radiosurgery procedures. This action is achieved by front panel selection of waveforms and power levels.
RF POWER OUTPUT 2.3.1 Output Level The power output in the CW (CUT) mode is 120 watts into (500 ohm) a matched load. 2.3.2 Output Level Stability The output is adjustable from less than 5W to maximum with little change in slope. 2.3.3 Power Output Stability Impedance range of 50 ohms - 2K at any power setting or waveform setting.
The Wolf / Surgitron 4.0 Dual RF/120 IEC High-Frequency Radiosurgical Generator must be inspected for technical safety at least once a year. These technical safety inspections mean: • Inspection of electrical safety in compliance with IEC 60601-1 and 60601-2-2 •...
• Inspection of high-frequency output power in all of the modes These technical safety inspections should be entrusted only to properly trained personnel. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for improper changes or repairs carried out on the unit or its accessories by unauthorized persons, and the warranty of the unit expires immediately.
The Wolf / Surgitron 4.0 Dual RF/120 IEC comprises some unique features which include: retractable mode and power output level setting, the waterproof dual footswitch for CUT and COAG modes, and a three-Button fingerswitch handpiece for CUT, CUT/COAG, and HEMO modes. The description is following: 4.0.1...

The three-button fingerswitch handpiece may be used as a conventional two-button fingerswitch handpiece if the CUT/COAG mode is not activated. The Surgitron 4.0 Dual RF/120 IEC may be operated as unit to adopt an IEC two-button fingerswitch handpiece, if a three-button fingerswitch handpiece is not available.
4.1.4 Audio Volume Control: The volume of the acoustic signal should be set to a volume that can easily be heard by the user. 4.1.5 Footswitch Receptacle: This 9-pin receptacle accepts a Hypersonics Footswitch connector. 4.1.6 Dual Footswitch Pedal: The unit is shipped with a waterproof Dual Footswitch.

FRONT PANEL CONTROL ELEMENTS see Figure 4.2 for Description of the Front Panel Control Elements 1 = ON 4.2.1 Power Switch: 0 = OFF When the power switch is turned on, the unit always automatically performs the following function: • The audio signal is activated after turning on the power switch.

Footswitch Mode Selector: This mode selector is used to control the selection of CUT or COAG modes. However, in the advance Surgitron 4.0 Dual RF/120 IEC unit, this mode selector is controlled by a dual footswitch. See section 4.0.1 for detail.

4.2.15 Power-down Push Button for Cutting Mode: A single depression lowers the power setting by one. Continuous depression gradually decreases the power to minimum - “0.” See section 4.0.2. for Three-Button Fingerswitch Handpiece application. 4.2.16 Coagulation Mode Function Selector: (Select) It is for selecting Hemo, Fulgurate, or Bipolar function.

V. PREPARATION FOR USE PREPARATION FOR USE 5.0.1 On the Surgitron 4.0 Dual RF/120 IEC check to make sure that the power switch is in the OFF position. ellman 5.0.2 Connect the Wolf / plug or IEC power cord set to a 3-wire ground AC power receptacle.
• Insert the Bipolar male plug into the Bipolar Handpiece receptacle on the front panel. • Select Coagulation Mode by selecting the desired power level. • Depress the "COAG" Footswitch controller to activate the output power. This function can only be activated with the foot pedal. VI.
b. Equivalent Fully Rectified - Low lateral heat. c. Equivalent Partially Rectified - High lateral heat. d. Equivalent Fulgurate Rectified - Highest lateral heat. Frequency - The higher the frequency, the less lateral heat produced. WAVEFORM 6.2.1 Fully Filtered Wave - CW The Fully Filtered Waveform is a pure continuous flow of high-frequency waves.

6.3.4 Pre-Operative Coagulation Practice Surgitron 4.0 Dual RF/120 IEC can be used to seal off small blood vessels. Move to the HEMO mode (Partially Rectified Wave). The ball electrode is normally used since it provides extended coverage of the tissue surfaces. Prior to performing Coagulation, the tissue should be wiped clean of blood so that the area needing treatment can be viewed.
The active part of the electrode is always sterile when the Surgitron is in operative use. The tissue will also be sterilized when it comes in contact with the active electrode. This is an extreme advantage over the scalpel, which is contaminated by the nonsterile tissue surrounding the surgical incision.
7.2.4 Alarm when resistance between red signal indicator and audio alarm the contact areas of a split neutral electrode is 1000 ohms or greater 7.2.5 Continuous temperature monitor - error code 12 If temperature rises above 85°C during operations the unit will declare an error message 7.2.6 Continuous power test/monitor...
