ERBE VIO dV 2.0 Fault Conditions
Four ERBE VIO dV 2.0 fault conditions related to da Vinci SP energy instruments result in
system messages displayed on the Vision Cart touchscreen, above the instrument status pod,
and in the 3D viewer. Also, error tones sound at the Surgeon Console and Patient Side Cart.
Refer to Table 8-5 for the message descriptions.
For further information on troubleshooting VIO dV fault conditions, see the ERBE VIO dV User
Manual.
8.3 Monopolar Instruments and EnergyShield Monitor Use
This section discusses Monopolar Instruments and EnergyShield Monitor Use:
• General Warnings and Cautions-Monopolar Instruments
• EnergyShield Monopolar Cautery Cord
• Connecting the Monopolar Instruments, EnergyShield Monitor and VIO dV
• Intraoperative Use
• Intraoperative Cleaning
General Warnings and Cautions-Monopolar Instruments
WARNING: Do not use monopolar instruments with a bipolar source output as this
may cause damage to the instrument and harm to the patient or medical personnel.
WARNING: Do not use one instrument to energize the tips of another instrument
(robotic or manual laparoscopic). This may cause patient injury and damage to the
instrument. Energy may flow to the patient from places other than the tip, inside or
outside the field of view. Avoid close proximity to other instrument tips when
energizing monopolar instruments.
Table 8-5 ERBE VIO dV Fault Conditions and System Message Descriptions
Instrument Type ERBE VIO dV 2.0 Fault Condition System Message Description Icon
Bipolar
C-84: Energy activation has been interrupted due
to detection of a short circuit condition between
active and neutral electrodes on bipolar
instruments. This can occur when there is not
enough tissue between the jaws of the instrument
and the AutoStop feature is turned ON.
Regrasp tissue or ensure jaw
separation. Short detected.
Monopolar
M-0B: Energy is being activated while the patient
neutral pad is not connected to the EnergyShield
Monitor, is defective, has poor contact with the
patient, or when the neutral adapter is not
connected to the VIO dV.
Check one or more of the
following:
• Dual neutral pad and
connection
• Contact with patient
• Neutral adapter connection
M-1F: Energy is being activated while the patient
neutral pad is not oriented in the proper direction
(the long edge is not pointing toward the
operating field).
Check dual neutral pad
orientation and contact with
patient.
Bipolar or
Monopolar
M-1C: Energy activation is halted when energy
activation time has been exceeded.
Timeout reached.
