How to Use these Operating Instructions. Intended Purpose
of the APC 300
These operating instructions are very extensive. There are several reasons
for this: the APC 300 can be used in many medical fields. The equipment can
be combined with a number of electrosurgical devices and instruments. Lastly,
the user can adapt the software of the equipment to his own requirements,
although it is not always necessary to do this. So in order to work safely and
effectively with the APC 300, it is not necessary to read every chapter of the
operating instructions. Please proceed as follows:
•
Please first read the Notes on safety and the Notes on safety in the medical
specialties: CHAPTER 2 and 3
à
.
• If it has not already been done, carry out the electrical Installation:
CHAPTER 4 à.
• Connect the argon gas cylinders: CHAPTER 5 à.
•
Make yourself familiar with the operating elements: Foldout 1, CHAPTER
6
à
.
• If you wish to begin working with the APC 300 as soon as possible and
not preoccupy yourself with the equipment's additional functions: First
read Quick start: CHAPTER 7 à.
•
Then select a suitable Connection and actuation configuration. Implement
it step by step: CHAPTER 8
à
.
•
If you wish to adapt the equipment to your particular needs, perhaps to
program and store your own COAG flow or CUT flow parameters for one
of the application programs: Read the section entitled Additional functions
of the APC 300: CHAPTER 7
à
. Foldout 2 can help you.
