Service Guide • Specialist | PRO
Up to 120 watts of Pure Cut @ 500 Ω.
Up to 90 watts of Blend @ 800 Ω.
Up to 80 watts of Coagulation @ 1000 Ω.
Up to 40 watts of Fulguration @ 1000 Ω.
Up to 30 watts of Bipolar @ 200 Ω.
Pinpoint coagulation provides precise control of bleeding
in localized areas.
Fulguration provides greater control of bleeding in highly
vascular tissue over broader tissue surface areas.
The unit incorporates a return electrode contact quality
monitoring system (RECQMS). This system determines
the type of patient return electrode attached (single plate
or split plate).
It also continuously monitors the contact impedance
between the patient and the split plate patient return
electrode.
Contact impedance is only monitored when approved split
plate patient return electrodes are used.
The unit automatically powers up to the Cut and Coag
modes and their last selected power settings. If the Blend,
Fulguration or Bipolar mode is selected, the unit will
default to that modes' last set power setting.
This minimizes the potential of alternate site burns.
These connectors accept the latest monopolar and bipolar
instruments.
These diagnostics continually monitor the unit to ensure
proper performance.
Whenever they detect a problem, medical personnel
receive audible and visual alarm responses, and the output
is suspended until the alarm condition is cleared.
