  • Page 9: Intended Use And Working Principles

    With the maxium, Gebrüder Martin provides you with an HF unit that incorporates the most ad- vanced technology, not least for the safety of the patient. The maxium HF unit is a highly versatile system with monopolar as well as bipolar cutting and co- agulation capability for use in micro- as well as macrosurgery.

  • Page 10: Monopolar Cutting

    Such sophisticated cuts would be impossible with a knife. The cutting mode is conventionally marked with the YELLOW color. The maxium offers a whole range of different currents for monopolar cutting, all of them optimized for specific applications. 3.2.2 Monopolar Coagulating There are basically two types of coagulation that need to be distinguished.

  • Page 11: Bipolar Cutting

    Description of the Unit The maxium HF surgical unit is microprocessor-controlled. It converts the mains voltage into a high-frequency alternating current for monopolar or bipolar applications. In monopolar mode, the unit can be activated either with a handle featuring switches/pushbuttons or via a footswitch pedal.

    Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions Front Connectors Depending on the market situation, the Martin maxium can be delivered with one of three different connecting socket modules – the “m” version, “i” version or “e” version. 4.1.1 Monopolar Connectors In the case of the “m”...
  • Page 19 Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions The “e” socket module (maxium 80-042-04) features M1 monopolar (1) and M2 (4) sockets suitable for instruments having 5- mm plugs (coaxial circular connectors with 5-mm inner conductor). They can also be used for cables with US 3-pin plugs.

  • Page 20: Bipolar Connectors

    (e.g. bipolar forceps, bipolar HF forceps or bipolar scis- sors). The B2 socket (10) of the “m” socket module (maxium 80- bipolar 042-00) can be used for Martin standard instruments and special instruments.
  • Page 21 Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions With the “e” socket module (maxium 80-042-04), the bipolar sockets B1 (7) and B2 (10) are suitable for instruments hav- ing 4-mm plugs (coaxial circular connectors with 4-mm inner conductor). Besides, they can be used for US 2-pin flat con- nectors as well.

  • Page 23: Maxium Beamer Interface

    4.2.2 maxium Beamer Interface The maxium features a separate interface (28) for the maxium Beamer (item no. 80-044-00). This interface is not only used for communication between the two units, but it also serves for powering the maxium Beamer through the maxium unit.

  • Page 24: Mains Connection

    When you switch on the unit for the first time, it will perform a self-test and then offer you the preset standard program. You can change this by adjusting the maxium’s settings so that it will offer the last-used program after turning it on (please refer to section 6, “Operating the Unit").

  • Page 25: Channel Selector Buttons

    Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions 4.3.2 Channel Selector Buttons Two channel selector buttons – (3), (6), (9) or (12) – are assigned in pairs to each HF output socket. They are used to select the channel you want to con- figure.

  • Page 26: Rotary Switch With Backlighting

    No backlight: No settings can be made with the non-illuminated rotary switch because the maxium is in standby mode. After a period of time (timeout) that can be set via the “Setup” submenu, the system will automatically lapse into standby mode, returning from it as soon as you press either one of the channel selector buttons or the MENU button or activate an HF current.

  • Page 27: Parametrization

    Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions 4.3.5 Parametrization Once you have selected a parameter with the appropriate channel selector but- ton or with the MENU button, you can adjust it with the rotary switch. The output power is adjusted by changing the numerical value highlighted by the red frame.

  • Page 28: Description Of The Display Contents

    Context Line Context line The Context line describes the maxium’s current status. This field is also used for explanations in connection with required user entries. During the selection process as well as during current activation, the respective type of current is indicated here.

  • Page 29: Channel Fields

    The third field indicates the activation source. If this field remains empty (as is the case in the first example given above), the maxium can only be activated manually, i.e. via the buttons provided on a handpiece or instrument that has been connected. This manual activation option is available for both monopolar outputs (M1 and M2) and for the B2 bipolar output.

  • Page 30: Neutral Electrode (Ne) Status

    Note that this second type of monitoring (PCS) is available only for split neutral electrodes. In such a case (red status), the maxium automatically blocks monopolar output – no monopolar current can be activated. Instead, an alert is heard. However, bipolar currents can be activated nonetheless.
  • Page 31 MENU MENU In addition, the maxium features a special graphical display indicator that visually informs the user on how well the neutral electrode has been applied to the patient and whether it maintains good contact. If the NE is correctly attached, i.e. if it makes full contact with the patient’s skin across its entire surface so that good electric contact is ensured, the “slide”...

  • Page 32: Argon Beamer Status

    Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions Argon Beamer Status The maxium allows connection of the maxium Beamer, an argon beamer that is completely controlled through the maxium and therefore lacks a separate control panel and display. Consequently, all maxium Beamer- related status indicators are also seen in the maxium’s display.

  • Page 33: Operating The Unit

    (“axial click”) that has been termed “Quick Step con- trol” by Gebrüder Martin. We have made great efforts to give the maxium’s design maximum ease of use so the system can be handled effortlessly and intuitively – despite the fact that it offers much more functionality than its predecessors.

  • Page 34: Setting The Output Power

    If you confirm the new value by pressing the rotary switch, the red frame will disappear. However, such confirmation is not really necessary be- cause the maxium automatically works with the output power currently selected and indicated in this field (even if the red frame is still dis- played).

  • Page 35: Selecting A Current

    Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions Selecting a Current To select a specific type of current, press a channel selector button of the channel of your choice. As the red frame will initially appear around the Power field, you must press the channel selector button a second time to move the red frame to the Current field (the frame now surrounds the cor- responding symbol).

  • Page 36: Assigning A Footswitch To A Channel

    The pedal symbol will now change position accordingly on the maxium’s display. If you try to activate a deselected channel with the handle button or a footswitch still assigned to it, the channel field will display an alert message that prompts you to select the channel first before it can be activated.

  • Page 37: Calling Up, Storing And Deleting Programs

    The maxium offers you no less than 100 storage positions (or memory locations): 99 of them can be assigned freely (although some of them have already been used for application-specific exam- ples created by Martin).

  • Page 38: Calling Up A Program

    Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions 6.4.2 Calling up a Program m a ium m a ium MENU MENU To call up a program, press the MENU button (16) and select the “Programs” menu item with the rotary switch (item is displayed inversely when highlighting it: white lettering on blue background).

  • Page 39: Overwriting Programs

    Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions 6.4.3 Overwriting Programs With the exception of the standard program (as already explained), you can overwrite any program if you have changed any settings and want to save them permanently (e.g. a different output power value).

  • Page 40: Storing Settings Under A New Name ("Save Under")

    Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions 6.4.4 Storing Settings Under a New Name (“Save under“) If you want to save a modified program but wish to retain the old settings, you can do so with the “Save under” function. In effect, a new program is created which must be given a new name.

  • Page 41: Deleting A Program

    To execute the command and delete the program for good, confirm by selecting “Delete”. If you select “Cancel”, the program is retained. Note • The "standard program" preset by Martin can neither be deleted nor overwritten! V 2.0...

    Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions System Setup The “Setup” menu item enables you to set your maxium in accordance with your personal require- ments. You can select among the following setting options: • Interactive language: Selecting the language in which the text messages and preset program names will be displayed.

  • Page 43: Current Types And Their Properties

    Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions Current Types and Their Properties Monopolar Cutting Currents Pure Cut Process-controlled current with a low eschar content. As the cutting edges are coagulated only slightly, the hemostatic effect is low as well. Thus, the result is a so-called “pure cut” that comes closest to the classic scalpel cut and supports fast wound healing.
  • Page 44 (plume) development. Apart from the electric parameters, the argon flow rates of the maxium Argon Beamer can also be easily con- trolled through the maxium’s operator panel when using this type of current.
  • Page 45 Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions Polyp II Like "Polyp I", this is a mixed type of current that automatically alternates between cutting and co- agulating. "Polyp II" should be preferably used for flat-base, sessile polyps. This current is also ideal for mucosectomy with the “piece-meal”...

  • Page 46: Monopolar Coagulation Currents

    Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions Monopolar Coagulation Currents Clamp Coag "Soft" contact coagulation current that is preferably applied indirectly through surgical instruments (such as vessel clamps, surgical forceps, etc.) to achieve hemostasis. In this case, a needle-, knife- or lancet-type electrode attached to the HF surgical handle is brought into contact with the surgical instrument.
  • Page 47 Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions Forced Coag Forced coagulation current that allows faster coagulation than the “Contact Coag” current, but the application technique is identical in both cases. If the application instrument or electrode is brought only slightly in contact with the tissue, some spark formation can be observed between the tissue and the electrode.
  • Page 48 Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions Macro Spray High-voltage coagulation current for non-contact surface coagulation with a low depth effect. This current allows you to maintain an extremely large distance between the electrode and the tissue during current activation, irrespective of the selected power setting (i.e. from the lowest power level, or thermal threshold, to the maximum output power of 150 W).
  • Page 49 Once the desired degree of tissue desicca- tion has been reached, the maxium automatically blocks energy output. Here again, the user can set the degree of coagulation via "MENU"/"Setup"/"Automatic mode"/"Coagulation degrees"/"Mono coag degree".
  • Page 50 Argon Beam This current is intended for use in open surgery. If a maxium Beamer is available, you can control the argon gas flow directly via the maxium’s control panel when working with this current. Argon gas flow rates between 0.1 l/min and 12 l/min can be selected. The hallmarks of this current are its excellent “ignition property”...
  • Page 51 Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions Pulsed Argon: fast repetition rate Due to the brightness of the argon plasma, it is not possible to assess the thermally induced tissue change during argon application. Therefore, to dose the power supply correctly, the user usually interrupts the HF power output with an appropriate control device such as the footswitch.

  • Page 52: Bipolar Cutting Currents

    Bipo Blend Cut Just as for the monopolar cutting currents, the maxium offers different “mixed currents” for the bi- polar technique as well, i.e. currents in which the cutting process is coupled with different degrees of hemostasis.

  • Page 53: Bipolar Coagulation Currents

    This also applies when one of the last-used application programs includes an auto-start cur- rent, as may be offered by the maxium after switching it on. V 2.0...
  • Page 54 – the higher the degree of coagulation, the higher the adhesion ten- dency. Nonetheless, the maxium’s coagulation process has been optimized so as to minimize tis- sue adhesion even under conditions of strong tissue desiccation.

  • Page 56: Start-Up

    Initial user instruction: The maxium may only be put into operation after a functional test has been performed at the place of use either by Gebrüder Martin or by a person authorized by Gebrüder Martin to carry out such work.
  • Page 57 Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions 6. Disconnect the neutral electrode from the maxium by pulling the plug from its socket, then try to activate the HF current. You should now hear an alert because the HF current cannot be acti- vated (output blocked).

  • Page 58: Bipolar Functional Test

    Bipolar Automatic Mode Warning • Note that there is a hazard of unintentional activation if you use the maxium’s “bipolar automatic“ (auto-start) function. Be sure to prevent the bipolar instrument from accidental tissue contact as well as from any contact with electrically conductive (low-resistance) parts! •...

  • Page 59: Safety Instructions

    Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions Safety Instructions General Information Electrosurgical units are high-frequency generators that produce high voltages and high currents when being used for their intended purposes. To avoid any hazards to the patient, the operating staff or other persons, this surgical technique should be used carefully and all operating and safety instructions must be strictly observed.

  • Page 60: Working With The Active Electrode

    Martin maxium & maxium Beamer Operating Instructions Never attach the neutral electrode over implants, other metal parts, bony protrusions/outgrowths or scar tissue. Circumstances may require the cleaning or degreasing of the attachment site; shave areas of abundant hair growth. Never employ agents that dry up the skin (such as alcohol).

  • Page 65 The hose connected to the pressure reducer has a quick-action coupling that you simply push onto the maxium Beamer’s gas connection pin until it locks home. When disconnecting the coupling from the pin, the inlet is automatically locked to ensure that no gas can escape. If the hose is al- ready under pressure, more force is required to push it onto the pin than in unpressurized condition and a small amount of gas will escape during the process.

  • Page 72: Safety Measures

    10.7.1 Intended Use The Martin maxium Beamer is a gas flow controller for generating a defined gas flow rate in the range of 0 to 12 l/min. It has been specially designed for use with the Martin maxium electrosurgi- cal unit. The gas flow is activated simultaneously with the high-frequency current. The system en- ables you to set separate flow rates for cutting and coagulating.

  • Page 73: Embolism Und Emphysemas

    Note that while inert-gas coagulation systems using helium are also available on the market, he- lium cannot be used with the maxium Beamer because the gas flow control has been calibrated for argon! Although it would be technically possible to connect a helium gas cylinder, using he- lium would mean a much higher actual gas flow rate than indicated! •...

  • Page 74: Additional Insufflation In Endosurgical Applications

    10.7.5 Additional Insufflation in Endosurgical Applications When using the maxium Beamer, argon gas is inevitably blown into the surgical field. If you work in body cavities, this may lead to an inadmissibly high internal pressure if the gas cannot escape.
