Control devices to be used (area F):
- With the selection key, select the current MICRO AUTO, then adjust the power with the regulation keys;
- For the delivery (acute acoustic signal, and blue Led), touch the tissues with the forceps tips after having regulated the starting delay
(from 0.5 to 5sec) by turning the control device b5 on the backside of the unit (0.5sec on the left, 5sec on the right);
- For the switching off, it is possible either to disconnect the forceps from the tissues, or wait until the current disconnects automatically,
once the tissues are coagulated
For safety reasons, the unit is also provided with an automatic stop control, which is activated after approximately 6 seconds of functioning
(if the forceps remains on the tissues, it starts again after a stop interval which is exactly the same as the delay set for the start).
Instructions for use, adjustments, and electrodes
Use coagulation forceps with tips of: 0.5mm (from 0.5-1W), 1mm (from 1-2W), and 2mm (from 2-4W);
Not suitable for the use in laparoscopy.
“MACRO” COAGULATION (MACRO) – Strong coagulating effect
This current is controlled by an automatic system (ADC System) for the self regulation of the functioning, which guarantees that the power
selected by the operators remains constant according to the characteristics of the tissues. It is the most suitable current for a strong
coagulating effect on big dimensions electrodes, and therefore it is ideal both for the operators who desire a bipolar coagulation with an
effect which is “similar” to the monopolar coagulation, and for those who want to coagulate in laparoscopy or on big tissues areas.
Control devices to be used (area F):
- With the selection key, select the current MACRO, then adjust the power with the regulation keys;
- For the delivery (acute acoustic signal, and blue Led), press on the blue pedal of the twin foot-switch pedal or the single foot switch
pedal.
Instructions for use, adjustments, and electrodes
Use coagulation forceps with tips of: 1mm (from 5-10W), 2mm (from 7-15W);
Use coagulation forceps for laparoscopy, from 10-20W;
Use the bipolar electrodes of the bipolar resectoscope, from 50-60W.
ADVICE
For the Cut:
In order to optimize the functioning of the bipolar cut under liquid (TUR), and obtain the perfect cut without any “sticking” of the tissues on
the electrode, the above mentioned powers maybe have to be changed through small variations of 10/15W each time.
For the Coagulation:
When bipolar forceps are used, it is advisable to keep their tips damp, for example with physiologic solution, in order to reduce the
omnipresent phenomenon of the “sticking” of the tissues. It is also possible to use forceps with “anti-sticking” tips, or better with irrigation
system.
