Remote Indicator
– This indicator illuminates and the alarm tone sounds
once when the power control feature activates. When this indicator
illuminates, you can make power changes using the power control
handswitching pencil.
Alarms
REM Alarm Indicator
– This indicator illuminates when the REM Contact
Quality Monitoring System senses that contact between the patient return
electrode and the patient is not adequate. The tone sounds twice when the
generator first detects the condition. The generator does not produce
monopolar output power when this alarm condition exists. The generator
clears the alarm condition when the REM Contact Quality Monitoring
System senses that the patient/pad contact resistance is within the
acceptance range.
Receptacles
Patient Return Electrode Receptacle
– This two-pin receptacle accepts the
patient return electrode connector you use in monopolar procedures. The
receptacle accepts both REM (dual-section) and conventional patient
return electrode connectors.
Monopolar Active Receptacle (Accessory)
– This receptacle has two output
receptacles. It accepts three-pin handswitching active accessories or
standard one-pin accessories which you can activate with the monopolar
footswitch. You can activate the cut and coag modes at this receptacle. If
you connect the handswitching pencil to this output receptacle, you can
activate the pencil with the footswitch.
Monopolar Active Receptacle (Handswitch)
– This receptacle accepts the three-pin
handswitching active accessories and the Valleylab power control pencil.
You can only activate the power output from this receptacle by using the
handswitch mechanism. No power is available through use of the
footswitch. You can activate the cut and coag modes at this receptacle.
Note that the power control pencil is only functional through this
receptacle.
Microbipolar Active Receptacle
– This receptacle accepts three-pin
handswitching bipolar accessories. You can also activate these accessories
with the footswitch. This receptacle also accepts two-pin bipolar
footswitching accessories.
Warning
Use the
ACCESSORY
output receptacle for connecting either a handswitch (three-
pin) or footswitch (one-pin) accessory, but not both at the same time. Connecting
more than one accessory to the
ACCESSORY
output receptacle activates both
accessories simultaneously.
