E-IM54f P17/37
TD830
ELECTROSURGICAL UNIT
If an 8 mm active adapter is connected to the
unit, the fingerswitch sockets (25 and 26) are
electrically disconnected.
5.4 For USER 1 connect an Eschmann fingerswitch (Fig.
6) to fingerswitch sockets (25 and 26).
5.5 Alternatively for USER 1 plug an 8mm active cable
(BOVIE) into the 8mm active electrode socket (24) in
combination with a footswitch (Fig. 4) yellow for cut, and/
or blue for coag, which should be plugged into either
monopolar footswitch socket (38). These sockets are
identical, the function is determined by the colour of the
footswitch. The Eschmann Twin footswitch can also be
used to provide both cut and coag functions (see Fig. 4).
5.6 Still another option for USER 1 is to connect an
active electrode handle (Fig. 5) to 4mm active electrode
socket (26) and plug a footswitch (Fig. 4) yellow for cut,
and/or blue for coag, into either monopolar footswitch
socket (38). These sockets are identical, the function is
determined by the colour of the footswitch. The Eschmann
Twin footswitch can also be used to provide both cut and
coag functions (see Fig. 4).
5.7 For USER 2 connect an Eschmann fingerswitch to
sockets 27 and 28.
Notes:
♦ Sockets (25 and 26) and (27 and 28) are designed to
accept the Eschmann fingerswitch.
♦ The footswitch controlled active connection system
using the 8 mm (BOVIE) socket (24) requires either
the combined handle and cable REF 83-141-28 or 83-
141-44 (Fig. 5) or the separate handle REF 83-140-
20 (Fig. 3) with cable REF 83-138-06 or 83-138-22
(Fig. 7).
♦ For foot control, use one of the range of Eschmann
footswitches together with a non-switching active
handle.
WARNING
When a fingerswitch or hand controlled active
handle is in use for monopolar USER 1, the
footswitch(es) must be disconnected from the
electrosurgical unit.
CAUTION
For safety, when using only one monopolar
mode, set the unused output control to
minimum e.g.
¨ For coag only, set cut power output control
(14) to minimum.
♦ For cut/blend only, set coag power output
control (21) to minimum.
Bipolar
5.8 Connect a bipolar cable REF 83-041-55 to the
bipolar output socket (31) and either a white electric
footswitch REF 83-581-76 (Fig. 10) to the bipolar electric
socket (37) or a white pneumatic footswitch REF 83-581-
68 (Fig. 10) to the bipolar pneumatic socket (36). Do not
connect both types of footswitch at the same time.
5.9 If the electrosurgical unit is only to be used in the
bipolar mode select the monopolar standby mode (see
section 5.18). The monopolar digital displays (8 and 23)
will not be illuminated and this will enable use of the unit
without the need to connect a plate electrode to the unit
(PAM alarm or PCM alarm will activate if a plate electrode
is not attached to the unit and it is not in monopolar standby
mode).
SYSTEMS CHECK
Note: For numbers in brackets refer to Illustration 11 which
folds out at the end of this manual.
WARNING
If the unit fails any of the following checks it
must not be used until the faults have been
repaired and the checks have been
successfully repeated.
5.10 Connect the required accessories as detailed in
sections 5.3 to 5.9.
5.11 Connect unit to mains power supply using the cable
supplied connected to the mains inlet (40), and if the supply
socket is controlled by a switch, ensure that it is switched
‘on’. Select mains switch (42) to ‘I’ (on). The green lamp
inside the mains switch (42) will come ‘on’ and the front
panel displays (indicators and digital) will illuminate.
5.12 The unit may be in monopolar standby mode, if it is
monopolar displays will not be illuminated and monopolar
will be disabled unless the monopolar standby button (32)
is pressed (see section 5.18). The unit will power up in the
modes and settings in use when the unit was last switched
off, unless the battery powering the memory has failed or
lost charge, in which case it will power up in monopolar
standby mode.
5.13 Press each selector touch button (3, 5, 11, 13, 15,
19 and 20) in turn and check that the green or bright green
indicator adjacent to each touch button comes ‘on’ (2, 4,
10, 12, 16, 17 and 18 respectively). Each time a selector
touch button is pressed there is an audible ‘bleep’ to signify
the button has been pressed (also see the first note after
section 5.15).
5.14 Set monopolar cut, monopolar coag and bipolar
power output controls (14, 21 and 1 respectively) to their
minimum levels (fully anticlockwise).
5.15 If the monopolar mode is to be used ensure that all
monopolar electrodes are safe and activate the unit in all
the monopolar modes to be used, for each USER, by
