Setting Up the Generator
6-4 LigaSure Vessel Sealing Generator Service Manual
Setting the Output for the Selected Mode
1. (Optional) To display the previous settings, press the memory button.
2. To set the bipolar mode, connect the handset to the proper receptacle on the
front panel, using a smart connector adapter as necessary.
Verify that the receptacle indicator illuminates green to confirm a proper
connection.
3. Set the bipolar or macrobipolar output power or the vessel sealing intensity:
• To increase the power or intensity, press the Up (Δ) button.
• To decrease the power or intensity, press the Down (∇) button.
In the bipolar or macrobipolar modes, the power level changes numerically, in
one watt increments from 1 to 40, and in five watt increments from 40 to 95.
In the vessel sealing mode, the sealing intensity level changes in one light bar
increments, with a range of one to five bars. Increasing the intensity increases the
total energy delivered to the tissue for the duration of the seal cycle.
Activating the Surgical Instrument
To activate a handswitching instrument, use the controls on the instrument or on
the appropriate footswitch. To activate a footswitching instrument, you must use a
footswitch.
To reduce the possibility of alternate site burns that may be caused by RF leakage
currents, avoid unnecessary and prolonged activation of the generator.
Caution
Set power levels to the lowest setting before testing an accessory.
Notice
Do not activate the generator until the forceps have made contact with the
patient. Product damage may occur.
