Introduction
The QA-ES III (or the Product) measures the
performance of high frequency Electrosurgery Units
(ESU) and saves test records that you can transmit to a
computer (PC). You can control the Product remotely
from the Fluke Ansur software program.
The Product makes these measurements and tests:
• Generator output:
ο Power, RMS
ο Current, RMS
ο Voltage, peak-to-peak
ο Crest Factor
• Vessel Sealing Loop Current
• HF Leakage Current in various configurations
• Contact Quality Monitor (CQM) test
• Power Distribution test automatically makes a series
of Generator Output measurements at various loads
Intended Use
The Product is a precision instrument for use in
performing tests on high-frequency electrosurgical units in
accordance with national and international standards. It is
for use by trained service technicians. Tests include
automatic power distribution measurement, crest factor
measurement, RF leakage measurement, and CQM
(contact quality monitor) test. The Product will be used in
hospitals, clinical engineering departments, independent
service organizations, and at ESU OEMs. The Product
will not be used in patient rooms while a patient is
present.
