High Frequency (RF) Leakage Current
Bipolar RF leakage current
Monopolar RF leakage current (additional tolerance)
Operating Conditions
RF energy is generated and passed through an interconnecting cable to an accessory where the energy is delivered to
cut, coagulate and ablate tissue.
STANDARDS AND IEC CLASSIFICATIONS
Class I Equipment (IEC 60601-1)
Accessible conductive parts cannot become live in the event of a basic insulation failure because of the way in which
they are connected to the protective earth conductor.
Type BF Equipment (IEC 60601-1) / Defibrillator Proof
The Bovie® Specialist | PRO Electrosurgical Generator provides a high degree of protection against electric
shock, particularly regarding allowable leakage currents. It is type BF equipment. Patient connections are isolated
from earth and resist the effects of defibrillator discharge.
Drip Proof (IEC 60601-2-2)
The generator enclosure is constructed so that liquid spillage in normal use does not wet electrical insulation or other
components which, when wet, are likely to affect adversely the safety of the generator.
Electromagnetic Interference
When other equipment is placed on or beneath an activated Bovie® Specialist | PRO Electrosurgical Generator, the
unit can be activated without interference. The generator minimizes electromagnetic interference to video equipment
used in the operating room.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-2-2)
The Bovie® Specialist | PRO Electrosurgical Generator complies with the appropriate IEC 60601-1-2 and
IEC 60601-2-2 specifications regarding electromagnetic compatibility.
Voltage Transients (Emergency Generator Mains Transfer)
The Bovie® Specialist | PRO Electrosurgical Generator operates in a safe manner when the transfer is made between
line AC and an emergency generator voltage source.
