User Manual Explanations to the user manual Important directives, especially for technical safety and security, are mentioned: WARNING DANGER The safety of the patient, the operator, or a third person is in risk. If information is not consi- dered, persons can be in danger. ATTENTION This information advices to special service procedures or caution measures, which must be considered to avoid damage to the unit.

User Manual Laser light and radio frequency energy can both be used to convert electromagnetic radiation into heat. The basic tissue interac- tion of laser and radio frequency applications are nearly the same, especially compared in their clinical appearance. Additional to heat effects the laser radiation can be used at low power to perform therapeutic and photoactive applications.

User Manual Interaction of radio frequency (HF) If radio frequency is guided through very thin metal electrodes, a very large electro-magnetic power density is created in the tissue layer. The water is abruptly heated up in these cells which leads to coagulation and rupture, respectively. THERMAL INTERACTION (MONOPOLAR) CUTTING (CUT) / COAGULATION (COAG) At monopolar cutting the radio frequency current is led from the device...

User Manual 11. Service and maintenance tasks must only be executed by authorized specialized personnel. 12. The radiation emitted by the LaserHF device during operation can interfere with the functionality of other electric devices. Computers, laptops and mobile phones should be kept away from the LaserHF device. Data on computers and laptops should be saved beforehand.

User Manual Start Start the unit by using the power switch at the back of the unit. With acceptance of the user code the main menu will appear: COAG BIPOL LASER Information As well as display of software version The unit’s HF-mode is ready for use without requiring a code. When starting the Laser and PDT program, you are asked to enter a User Code.

User Manual Precision of power setting radio frequency (HF) The power of the radio frequency generator depends on the tissue specific resistance and can vary within limits. The specified 50 W are in accordance with a specific resistance of 1 kΩ. The settings of the radiofrequency will be displayed without the measuring unit [W] and will be scaled in accordance with the graph.

User Manual Selection of the correct radio frequency (HF) mode ATTENTION All surgical applications with radio frequency need local or block anaesthesia. Cutting - CUT MODE This mode – with a permanent power flow – is best rated for clean cuts in tissue without coagulation. In this mode cutting is with marginal heat and little hemostasis and can be used near to bones or to the periost tissue to avoid shrinking processes of the tissue.
Page 22
User Manual Correct power setting The success of all radio frequency measures is strongly dependent on the right choice of electrodes, the mode and the correct power setting. Correct: The electrode slides easily through the tissue without resistance and without spark formation. Wrong: intensity setting too low! The electrode must be pulled through the tissue and spark formation is found.
