5. General description of the equipment
The MBC RF surgery equipment makes different applications available. For monopolar
applications in addition to the basic continuous power output three coagulation methods are
available, i.e., Spray, Force, and Soft may be selectable. For cut functions it has to be
distinguished between pure cutting and cutting with the functions Blend, TUR, Pulse and Pulse
TUR. Additionally the devices offer the bipolar applications Cutting
1
and Coagulation.
For monopolar applications five output steps are quickly pre-selectable. These can be further
divided for finer dosage by arrow keys. The selected power (corresponds to the maximum power
output in watts) is indicated on the three digit display. Furthermore it is possible to use the bipolar
channel and the monopolar coagulation in combination with the Autostop function (see above).
Different effects for a given signal shape and voltage have been described in more detail in
chapter 3.2. The expected output characteristics for the different applications are shown in
Technical Data chapter 8
The unit can be programmed by users for up to 10 different programs. The stored values will stay
in the memory even after the unit is switched off.
Basically two user steps have to be distinguished:
I. The setup of the wanted values and its storage
II. Load and use wanted program
