Power may be adjusted from 1–50 watts. Pressing the
appropriate button repeatedly will adjust the power
in increments of 1 watt; holding the button down will
scroll through the power settings automatically.
SET TEMP
SET TEMP may be changed by pressing the up/
down arrows located next to the SET TEMP display.
Temperature may be set from 15–99° C. Pressing
the appropriate button repeatedly will adjust the
temperature in increments of 1° C; holding the button
down will scroll through the temperature settings
automatically.
SET CUT
SET CUT (inactive for ELECTROBLADE™ Resector) may
be adjusted by pressing the up/down arrows located
next to the SET CUT display. Power may be adjusted
from 1–200 watts or up to the preprogrammed limit
for the probe type used. Pressing the appropriate
button repeatedly will adjust the power in increments
of 5 watts; holding the button down will scroll through
the power settings automatically.
PRESET (Temperature Control Mode)
Commonly used temperature and power
combinations are preprogrammed into the Smith &
Nephew VULCAN™ Generator software to allow the
operator to quickly configure the generator control
unit in Temperature Control Mode. Use the PRESET
up/down arrows on the control unit front panel to
select the desired setting. The selected setting will
be displayed in the front panel PRESET display, and
the corresponding temperature and power settings
will be displayed in the SET TEMP and SET POWER
displays.
PRESET (Power Control Mode)
Commonly used SET CUT and SET COAG power
combinations are preprogrammed into the generator
software to allow the operator to quickly configure the
control unit in Power Control Mode. Use the PRESET
up/down arrows on the control unit front panel to
select the desired setting. The selected setting
will be displayed in the PRESET display and the
corresponding power settings will be displayed in the
SET CUT and SET COAG displays. PRESET is inactive
for ELECTROBLADE Resector and GLIDER Articular
Cartilage Probes.
SET COAG
SET COAG (inactive for GLIDER Articular Cartilage
Probes) may be adjusted by pressing the up/down
arrows located next to the SET COAG display. Power
may be adjusted from 1–200 watts or up to the
preprogrammed limit for the probe type used.
Pressing the appropriate button repeatedly will
adjust the power in increments of 5 watts; holding
the button down will scroll through the power
settings automatically.
Auto Probe Recognition
The Smith & Nephew VULCAN™ Generator software
recognizes which type of Smith & Nephew probe is
connected to the control unit by reading a sensor
in the probe. When a probe is connected to the
control unit, the software automatically switches to
the appropriate control MODE and PRESET setting (if
supported) for that specific probe.
The SET TEMP, SET POWER, SET CUT, and SET COAG
settings may be changed from their preset values
using the up/down arrows next to the respective
displays (if supported by the probe).
The Smith & Nephew VULCAN Generator software
also contains temperature and power limits for each
probe type. The SET TEMP, SET POWER, SET CUT,
and SET COAG settings cannot be set to values
outside the range programmed in the software. This
feature ensures that each probe type is used within
its safe limits of operation.
