PROGRAMS and MEMORIES
The unit is provided with 10 memories (9 programmable memories and 1 for the storage of the data at the switching off), which allow to set
9 complete functioning programs, that can be selected by simply pressing the shifting keys UP/DOWN until the desired memory is chosen. 5
memories are totally free, and can be set by the operators, while the remaining ones are pre-set in order to facilitate the use of the unit:
How setting a free memory
1. Select the desired memory with the selection keys UP/DOWN of the area B. As a matter of fact, it is possible to shift the complete
range of memories from 1 to 9 (1, 2, 3, 4, and so on) with the key UP, but also to shift them in the opposite direction, from 9 to 1, with
the key DOWN;
2. Make all the adjustments related to the desired functioning modes (i.e. the selection of the functioning for the twin pedal foot-switch),
except for the selection of the current for the Micro Auto bipolar coagulation;
3. Choose the desired currents and the adjustment of their powers.
For example: as the unit is equipped with 4 different monopolar coagulation currents, it is possible to set a memory, through the keys of
the area D, with one single current and its power, or with the four currents and their different powers, which can be then
applied/changed during the use, by simply pressing the selection key.
In the first case, the selection key only allows to choose the desired current, while with the adjustment keys it is possible to set its
power.
In the second case, the selection key allows to select all the available currents, by setting the power for each of them;
4. After having set all the parameters, the program has to be confirmed by pressing the storage key of the area B.
Is it possible to modify during the use the adjustments of the powers already set in a memory?
Yes, it is always possible, through the adjustment keys of the power of the used current, and this variation is shown by the number of the
memory which blinks. This number stops blinking if:
- The storage key of the area B is pressed, in order to confirm the variation done;
- One of the two selection keys UP/DOWN of the area B is pressed, in order to come back to the powers and/or the functioning
mode which was set before the variation.
Is it possible to modify the adjustments of the power/s and/or the selected settings of a memory before the use?
Yes, it is always possible, through the different adjustment/selection keys, and this variation is shown by the number of the memory which
blinks. This number stops blinking if:
- The storage key of the area B is pressed, in order to confirm the variation done;
- One of the two selection keys UP/DOWN of the area B is pressed, in order to come back to the powers and/or the functioning
mode which was set before the variation.
Is it possible to come back to the power and/or functioning adjustments, if changed but not confirmed (while the number of the
memory is blinking)?
Yes, it is. One of the two selection keys UP/DOWN of the area B must be pressed (the number of the memory stops blinking, and the
original data are set again).
Is it possible to use the unit without setting any memory?
Yes, it is, but it is less practical, as each type of intervention may require different parameters.
Bear in mind that, if during the switching off the number of the memory is blinking, at the moment of the switching on the unit starts with
the same memory number which is still blinking.
PRE-SET MEMORIES (nr 6 and 7) – Use in open sky surgery with two handles (or one handle and one forceps with
connecting cable to the unit), both of them with twin foot-switch pedal.
The pre-setting does not concern the current types that have to be used, nor their powers, which have to be set according to the operators’
needs, and therefore memorised as shown at points 3 and 4 of the previous paragraph (for this kind of use, it is advisable to select and set the
same currents and the same powers in both memories).
The pre-setting of these memories allows to use the unit as follows:
A. With memory 6, the electrodes-holder handle (connected to the socket 5) can be used by the foot-switch pedal. (See Par.
“CONNECTION and USE of the PEDAL FOOT-SWITCHES”) – press on the cut mode for the pure/coagulating cut currents, or on
the coag mode for the coagulation currents;
B. With memory 7, the coagulation forceps (connected to the socket 6) can be used by the foot-switch pedal. (See Par.
“CONNECTION and USE of the PEDAL FOOT-SWITCHES”) – press on the cut mode for the pure/coagulating cut currents, or on
the coag mode for the coagulation currents.
PRE-SET MEMORIES (nr.8) – Use in flexible endoscopic surgery or in endoscopic surgery under liquid.
The pre-setting does not concern the current types that have to be used, nor their powers, which have to be set according to the operators’
needs, and therefore memorised as shown at points 3 and 4 of the previous paragraph.
The pre-setting of these memories allows to use the unit as follows:
A. With the flexible electrode for flexible endoscopic surgery, or the resectoscope for endoscopic surgery under liquid (connected to
the socket 5) by pedal foot-switches (See Par. “CONNECTION and USE of the PEDAL FOOT-SWITCHES”) – press on the yellow
pedal for the pure/coagulating cut currents, or on the blue pedal for the coagulation currents;
B. !!! BIPOLAR FUNCTIONING !!!
The bipolar functioning is always available. See Par. “BIPOLAR MODE”.
PRE-SET MEMORIES (nr. 9) – Use in bipolar mode only.
The pre-setting does not concern the current types that have to be used, nor their powers, which have to be set according to the operators’
needs, and therefore memorised as shown at points 3 and 4 of the previous paragraph.
The pre-setting of these memories allows to use the unit as follows:
A. With one or two bipolar electrodes, connected and activated as specified in Par. “BIPOLAR MODE”;
B. Without connecting the neutral electrode, as it is not required (as a matter of fact, through the 3 lit alarm Led, the safety circuit just
informs the operators that the neutral electrode is not connected);
C. Without using the monopolar currents (the displays for their powers are switched off).
