Test program no. 12
Setting the FORCED voltage
General description
When this program is called up, the set FORCED version is displayed. Using the “Up” (8) or “Down” (9)
keys, you can set one of three (V2.0) or four (V4.0) FORCED versions.
With FORCED coagulation, the ST pulse generator produces short pulses with a high no-load voltage. The
high no-load voltage has both advantages and disadvantages which are described in this section with the
features.
Using Test program 12, the no-load voltage can be changed relative to the set power limitation.
After starting the test program, you will see the following display:
AUTO CUT AUTO COAG 1 AUTO COAG 2 AUTO BIPOLAR
For. vs nr
For. Voltage limitation for FORCED coagulation
vs nr: FORCED version nos. 1…3 (V2.0) or 1…4 (V4.0)
Call up the version number using the “Up” (8) or “Down” (9) keys.
Forced version vs nr 1
A power limitation of 1 to 30 watts increases the no-load voltage constantly up to approx. 1,300 V
p
.
Above 30 watts power limitation, the no-load voltage is limited to approx. 1,300 V
p
.
Characteristics of the version vs nr 1
• Minimal image interference on monitors.
• Danger of burns from contact with a terminal.
• Good coagulation via a terminal without heavy spark formation.
• No heavy spark formation even at a high power setting.
• To direct power into the tissue, the tissue must be contacted (No power transmission via spark).
FORCED version vs nr 2
A power limitation of 1 to 30 watts increases the no-load voltage constantly up to approx. 1,300 V
p
. Above
30 watts power limitation, the no-load voltage continues to increase:
No-load voltage at 40 watts: approx. 1,500 V
p
No-load voltage at 50 watts: approx. 1,700 V
p
No-load voltage at 60 watts: approx. 1,900 V
p
No-load voltage from 80 to 120 watts: approx. 2,300 V
