Description of socket hardware
Socket combinations on the APC module
The APC module can accommodate two sockets. The following combinations are pos-
sible:
• One APC socket.
• Two APC sockets.
• One APC socket and one monopolar socket.
• One APC socket and one bipolar socket.
• One APC socket and one multifunctional socket. The multifunctional socket is only
supported by the VIO 300 D.
The sockets of the VIO electrosurgical unit and the APC module must be regarded as
one unit – as a socket strip of one and the same system.
You control the Cut and Coag functions of all the sockets via the Selection buttons and
the display of the VIO electrosurgical unit (see the chapter Tutorial in the VIO User
Manual).
If, for example, two or more monopolar sockets are installed in the VIO system's socket
connector, these are counted from the top downwards. If you call up the monopolar
sockets, you will see the designation Monopolar socket 1, Monopolar socket 2 etc. in
the Cut/Coag Settings window on the VIO system display.
Purchasing further sockets
You can individually select the sockets of your electrosurgical unit when placing your
order. After purchase it is possible to add further sockets or to replace existing sockets
with others.
A socket unit consists of a front plate, socket insert and two holding clips. Installation
in the electrosurgical unit is simple and can be carried out quickly by any technician
authorized by Erbe.
