Faults related to the neutral electrode and possible remedies are shown on
the display, see Section “Detecting and correcting faults”, page 99.
4.5.2. EASY neutral electrode monitoring (EASY
monitoring)
The maximum output power of monopolar current types is reduced to
50 W when a children’s electrode is selected.
The EASY monitoring function measures changes in the resistance
between the patient and the high-frequency surgery device before and
during HF activation. If necessary, it generates visual and audible alarms to
request staff intervention. This requires using a split neutral electrode with
appropriate contact areas and suitable contact resistance, attached to the
patient according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The EASY system
does not monitor the currents through the individual contact surfaces of the
split neutral electrode.
A BOWA electrode with a surface area of at least 90 cm² must be used for
the "Resection" programs and the "Moderate Coagulation" mode.
If an error message is generated, the display changes from green via
yellow to red, depending on the type of fault.
NOTE
Risk of incorrect application of the neutral electrode!
Ensure compliance with the specifications for correct attachment of
the neutral electrode with regard to size, adhesive properties and
full-surface contact of the complete electrode.
