The desired mode is roughly selected on the front panel by 5 pre-select buttons and can
then be fine adjusted by arrow buttons. The desired mode can be activated by footswitch
or fingerswitch at the handpiece.
Application of function fields monopolar

and bipolar
2,4
is as follows:
a) If monopolar
4
-handpieces with fingerswitches are used, an activation of the
bipolar
2,4
functions Cutting and Coagulation is possible by means of a double
footswitch. Both function fields are thereby useable. In this case both indicator
fields are active.
b) If monopolar
4
-handpieces without fingerswitches are used, only one of the function
fields can be activated. The use of both functions with one footswitch is possible,
but in order to switch from one function to the other a manual selection at the
equipment is necessary.
For more detailed description of the control- and indicator-elements see instruction
manual.
The Arco -respectively MBC-units were only meant for the use in general surgery and
gastroentorology. Operations on the heart, eyes and in the brain (neuro-surgery) are not
admissible!!!
This equipment has not
been developed for continual operation (constant power-supply
for a longer period). The period for use fulfills the minimum demands for operation of the
EN60601-2-2 (10s load, 30s
break).
Before starting operation the supplies of the appropriate handpieces must always be
checked for external damages. Only accessories from the Söring Accessories Order List
are allowed to be applied to the unit. We take no
liability for accessories of other
manufacturers.
