    Uploaded by

    Shelnard
    This document provides instructions for performing safety checks and verifying performance of an Erbe T175 electrosurgical generator. It describes connecting various accessories like hand control pencils and foot switches. Tests include inspecting for damage, verifying indicator lights and tones in cut, coag and bipolar modes work properly, and measuring output power is within specifications when set to different power levels. Safety tests check for acceptable leakage currents and grounding resistance. Power output charts in an appendix show expected wattages into various load resistances.

    Title: Erbe T175 ESU Date: 12-25-2012

    By: Erbe DISCLAIMER: THIS PROCEDURE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND


    WITH POSSIBLE FAULTS. USER MUST VERIFY BEFORE USE.
    File = Erbe T175.doc NEITHER PROVIDER NOR WEBSITE ASSUMES ANY
    RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS USE.

    1. General
    Applies to model T175. Comment from a website:
    “exclusively designed for being used in the field of veterinary
    medicine or for export purposes”.

    2. Reference Documents
    Erbotom T175 Operating Instructions.
    Erbotom T175 Service Manual”
    T175 ESU

    3. Tools / Fixtures / Accessories


     Electrosurgical Analyzer: ex: Dempsey 443 or better.
     Patient Plate Cable, Bipolar Cable/Forceps.
     Hand Control Pencil/Cable, Footswitch.
     Safety Tester

    4. Performance Verifications T175 FOOTSWITCH

    4.1. Inspection
    Check unit for any damage; i.e. connectors, knobs, the
    power cord and the footswitch with its cable.

    4.2. With no accessories plugged in, turn on unit. Verify


    that the red pilot lamp illuminates.

    4.3. Setup MONOPOLAR PENCIL WITH CORD


    Connect analyzer to ESU using a handcontrol pencil--
    wire the pencil chuck to the analyzer active (this will
    simultaneously check handcontrol sense circuits.)
    Connect a patient plate cable between the generator’s
    patient plate jack over to the same on the analyzer. Set
    analyzer load to 300 ohms if available. Set the
    generator’s hemostasis dial to minimum.

    Note: This generator’s output power maximizes for 300 ohm load
    resistance. The analyzer suggested has load settings of only 500 and 125 PATIENT PLATE CABLE
    ohms. Refer to load curves in Appendix for corrections.

    4.4. Cut Mode


    With cut and coag intensity/power dials (Pussance) at
    zero, key the unit in Cut mode, using either the cut
    pedal (use the mono/bipolar selector buttons to direct
    the footswitch to activate monopolar) or the cut-rocker
    switch on the hand pencil. The Cut indicator lamp and
    a continuous (adjustable) tone occur. Gradually turn
    power to max dial and note power into analyzer. Do not
    DEMPSEY 443 ANALYZER
    let generator run continuously at this level. Refer to
    table in Appendix for acceptable results which depend on load..
    Note: If both pedals are depressed, no output should occur.

    4.5. Coag Mode


    With cut and coag power/intensity dials at zero, key the unit in Coag mode, using either the
    coag pedal or coag rocker switch on the hand pencil. The Coag indicator lamp and a distinct
    continuous (adjustable) tone occur. Gradually turn coag power to max dial and note power into
    analyzer. At max levels, run generator only long enough to get a reading. Refer to the table in
    Appendix for acceptable results which depend on load.

    4.6. Patient Plate Monitor Circuit.


    With generator at idle, remove the patient plate plug from its panel connector. A loud non-
    adjustable tone will activate, and the red patient plate lamp will light.

    4.7. Blend Mode


    Not addressed.

    Note: Bipolar can be activated with either the footswitch or by the load sensing of the bipolar forceps.

    4.8. Bipolar Mode


    Using the bipolar forceps cable, connect the analyzer to the generator’s bipolar output
    connector. Set analyzer load to 125 ohms or lower (75 ohms if possible). With the Bipolar dial
    at zero, use the footswitch to key the unit and note the distinct audible tone. Gradually turn
    power to max dial and note power into analyzer. Refer to charts in appendix for acceptable
    results, which depend on load.

    Activate the bipolar mode by touching the bipolar output (via forceps for example) to a load.
    After a couple of seconds (internally adjustable) the unit will activate in bipolar. The activation
    can also be used to measure power as above.

    4.9. Bipolar Mode (or other mode)


    Verify volume adjust on front of unit.

    4.10. Other Safety Checks


    Using the safety tester, check that line leakage with ground open is less than 50 uA.
    Using the safety tester, check that ground lead resistance is less than 0.15 ohms.
    Resistance between active and patient plate > 2megohms (yearly)
    Measure low frequency leakage currents yearly.

    4.11. RF Leakage -- ESU analyzers read RMS current, and when appropriately connected, can
    display RF leakage. Limits are below. RF leakage is an infrequent field check but should not
    be overlooked for older equipment.

    The standard IEC 60601-2-2, particular requirements for the safety of high frequency surgical
    equipment, limits this parameter to a maximum of 4.5 W measured on a 200 Ω non-inductive
    resistor for monopolar applications (150mA in this case).
