INTRODUCTION
In a biological tissue crossed by the electric current, three effects are usually generated: Thermal, Faradic, and
Electrolytic.
By using high frequency electric current, higher than 300kHz, the faradic effect is almost completely eliminated,
while the electrolytic one is kept, even if with no practical result. So, the most used is the thermal one. When an
electric current having such characteristics crosses with sufficient density the cellular liquid of the tissues, it warms
it and generates what follows:
1) a heating, which is so rapid that the vapour pressure into the cells breaks their membranes and provokes their
division (pure cut);
2) a heating, which is slower, and which permits to the liquid to evaporate very slowly; in this way, the coagulating
parts of the tissues can coagulate (coagulation);
3) a process which is in the middle between the two phenomena described above (coagulating cut).
The use of the HF current presents also some risks that must be known, because their possible reduction depends
also on users’ behaviour:
- undesired burns on the patient tissues (i.e. where the neutral electrode is placed because of non homogeneous
/ insufficient contact, or in any other zone because of anomalous contacts/use of water mattresses / contacts
of patient with the metallic parts of the operating table);
- undesired burns on the operator tissues (i.e. into the hand, because of an insulation leakage into the
coagulation monopolar forceps);
- interferences with the functioning of other equipments (i.e. video systems) or implanted devices (pace-makers);
- slight neuromuscular stimulations, notably with coagulation currents, both in the contact point of the
active electrode and in the contact point of the neutral electrode. These stimulations are felt by patients
as “electrical discharges”.
DIRECTION FOR USE
In the field of normal electro-surgery, with only the High Frequency currents, the ESU-X 400HT allows to perform
all kinds of Monopolar Cut (Pure or Coagulating), Monopolar Coagulation (at low, medium, and high voltage),
Bipolar Cut (Pure or Coagulating), Bipolar Coagulation (Micro, Macro, sealing of vessels, etc.), during major and
medium surgery interventions into the operating theatre (open sky surgery, minimum invasive surgery, endoscopic
surgery), or in any other similar place. The application medical fields of this model are the following ones:
GYNAECOLOGY, HEART SURGERY, ORTHOPAEDICS, NEUROSURGERY,
OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY, UROLOGY, MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY,
DERMATOLOGY, PLASTIC SURGERY, VASCULAR SURGERY, GENERAL AND
THORACIC SURGERY, PAEDIATRIC SURGERY, EMERGENCY SURGERY,
GASTROENTEROLOGY, VETERINARY, AND OTHER.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS – It is dangerous to ignore the following warnings!

1 Every electro-surgical unit has its own characteristics and therefore, before using it, it is advisable to check its
functioning, without taking into consideration the previous experiences with other devices only. Anyway, start
always with very low powers, and then raise them until the required one is reached;
2 It is extremely dangerous to use the device if the electrical plant and the installations of the operating theatre
do not comply with the current safety standards. Never use extensions for the mains cable and, if many devices
are connected at the same time, ask for their compatibility to the Technical Service;
3 It is extremely dangerous to use accessories or instruments which are not perfectly compliant with all the
applicable technical or legislative Rules, and which are not suitable for the working voltages of the device
(approx. 7600Vpp “4000Vp” for the monopolar currents with crest factors equal or higher than 2; 3600Vpp
“1800Vp” for the monopolar currents with crest factors lower than 2; approx. 1100Vpp “550Vp for the bipolar
currents with crest factors equal or lower than 2). Moreover, the accessories and instruments must not be old
nor worn. Check always their status before the use, notably if for endoscopy. Bear in mind that:
- All the old/worn active electrodes, accessories and cables do not work properly, and do not guarantee the
perfect insulation. In addition, their unstable functioning can lead the operator to increase the output
powers at dangerous levels;
- In the user manual, for each current, the maximum output voltage “Vpp” and its variation (see the curves)
according to the output power adjustment are specified. This allows the operators to choose the maximum
output power that must not be overcome, in order to not exceed the rated HF insulation voltage, which is
possible for each accessory;
- The standard monopolar active electrodes for normal surgery have a stem with Ø 2.3mm (so, the standard
electrode-holder handles are suitable for the electrodes having stems with this diameter).
4. Do not activate the outputs before the active electrode is in contact with the tissues, as electrical arcs can be
created. They burn the tissues superficially and prevent the good effect ;
5. Keep the active electrode always clean, because otherwise it can provoke sparks or superficial carbonizations
on the tissues. A dirty active electrode, an electrode in bad conditions, or an electrode with connection defects
causes a reduction of the output power, as it does not have any good contact with the tissues;
6. Remember that, even if compliant with all the current standards about the electromagnetic compatibility, the
unit can have interferences with other electro-medical equipments;
7. Bear in mind that, when operating on patients with pace-makers or other implanted active devices, an
interference with their functioning can occur (fibrillations, etc.), and they can even be damaged (in this case, it
is advisable to ask for a specific qualified advice from the Cardiology Division);
8. Never use an electro-surgical unit in presence of flammable anaesthetic gases (i.e. oxygen and nitrogen
protoxide, etc.), notably when operating in cavities like thorax, abdomen, trachea, head, etc. Do not use any
cleaning substances, disinfectants or flammable solvents; if used, let them evaporate before the intervention.
Always remove their remaining traces from the hollow parts of the body or the cavities (i.e. umbilicus, vagina,
etc.), and from underneath the patient. Remember that during the use a spark may cause the explosion of
endogenous gases (intestine), or the fire of oxygen saturated materials (cotton, gauze, etc.);
9. Take always all the metallic objects off the patient (rings, etc.), and be sure he is not in contact with any metallic
part connected to the earth, or which may conduct electricity (table, supports, etc.). Insulate with dry towels the
strongly secreting parts of the body and the contacts skin-to-skin (i.e. between the arm and the body);
10. Place always all the monitoring electrodes, which are not specifically protected, as far away as possible from
the electrodes of the electrosurgical unit. It is not advisable to use needle type or very small monitoring
electrodes;
11. Use and place the neutral electrode as follows:
- Bear in mind that, if the neutral electrodes “Split” type double section are not used, the neutral electrode
safety circuit of the unit cannot control the contact between the electrode and the patient tissues (that is,
it does not grant the safety of a good contact);
- Make sure it is in perfect conditions (the worn/old neutral electrodes are extremely dangerous for the risk
of the burns on the patients), and choose an area of the body as close as possible to the intervention point
(the ideal would be a soft part without hairs, nor protuberant bones or superficial differences). Clean this
area, shave it and massage it, in order to favour the circulation;
- Fix it in a reliable way, without placing anything in-between, nor pressing too much, in order to avoid
ischemic zones. Establish the best possible contact over the entire surface, and make sure it remains
constant, especially if the patient is moved or when liquids are poured. As a matter of fact, a non
homogeneous and/or insufficient contact of the neutral electrode generates both an increase of the current
density in the contact points (which produces a higher temperature into the tissues, and creates burns),
and a decrease of the output power into the application point (which leads the operator to raise it,
dangerously);
- Never exceed 1/3 of the max. output power for each monopolar current when using the paediatric neutral
electrodes, or 1/5 when using the electrodes for babies;
- Use the disposable neutral electrodes only once, by paying attention to the instructions on the packaging.
Make sure they have the right dimensions (standard for adults with “weight body higher than 15 Kg”:
approx. 136cm2; standard for children with “weight body from 5 to 15 Kg”: approx. 84cm2);
- As the space between the neutral electrode and the operating area represents a sort of “path” for the HF
current, be sure that it is not diagonal as regards the body, nor on the heart. Remember also that the
metallic elements (prosthesis, catheters, etc.) on the path of the current may cause accumulations of
current with consequent heating/burns of the surrounding tissue;
12. Position the cables of the electrodes in a way that they do not touch the patient or any other conducting part.
During the operations, place the unused active electrodes on insulating materials, far away from the patient;
13. Always use the lowest possible power. Bear this warning in mind when intervening on patients (children or
babies) for whom small neutral electrodes are used (see also point 11);
14. Choose the bipolar technique, when operating on small portions of tissue or in cavities;
15. Try to respect as much as possible the suggested working times, and avoid useless short-circuits between the
active electrode and the neutral one;
16. Get in contact with the Technical Service for the use of the “disposable” electrodes;
17. When the device is switched on, check all the settings before using it on the patient, and remember that a
failure can provoke an undesired increase of the power;
18. Remember that also the use of too low powers, if combined with some particular electrodes or accessories,
can cause side effects: for example, when using the Argon gas, the risk of embolism raises if the power of the
spray coagulation is not able to produce quickly a rapid and impermeable eschar on the target tissues;
19. The unit must not be used for final purposes other than those listed in this manual.
THE HF LEAKAGE CURRENTS CONTROL CIRCUIT

The unit is equipped with a leakage currents to earth control circuit because these currents represent one possible
source for undesired burns on the patient or the operators (i.e. a patient who gets in touch with a metallic part of
the operating table or with wet/damp towels, a patient who is placed on a water mattress for surgical needs, an
operator who gets in touch with instruments or endoscopes, etc. They all are possible causes of the increase of
such currents).
When the leakage currents to earth overcome 150mA (limit established by the rules), the circuit intervenes as
follows:
- It automatically reduces the output power, so that the leakage currents come back within the agreed limits;
- It gives an alarm signal to the operators (red Led G-HF LEAKAGE on).
SAFETY CIRCUIT OF THE NEUTRAL ELECTRODE

The neutral electrode connection control circuit (Red Led - area A) operates in the following manners:
1) With disposable/reusable electrodes with one single section (non split). The circuit controls if the neutral
electrode is connected to the cable, and if the latter is integral and correctly connected to the unit
2) (socket NEUTRAL PLATE-7). If this is not the case, it stops the delivery of the power and gives a luminous
alarm signal (the Red Led is lit, Error Code “no Np”) and a buzzer (loud, intermittent);
3) With disposable/reusable electrodes with twin section (split). The circuit works as described above at
point 1, but it also checks if the quality of the contact between the electrode and the patient tissues is good
enough. It operates as follows:
a) When the contact is optimum, the circuit does not intervene;
b) When the contact decreases to less than approx. 50% of the surface of a standard electrode for adults
well attached, the circuit intervenes automatically reducing to max. 200W the output powers (if higher
levels have been selected);
c) When the contact further decreases, the circuit completely stops the delivery of the power, by giving a
luminous alarm signal (The Red Led is lit, Error Code “no Np”) and also a buzzer (loud, intermittent).
4) When only the memories for the bipolar use (it does not require any neutral electrode) are selected
(memories from 96 to 99),
the circuit does not intervene (the 3 Led are lit, but only to show that the electrode is not connected).
INITIAL CHECKS
Initial checks
1. Make sure that the mains power supply corresponds to the technical data (see the data label on the backside
of the unit), and connect the unit with the mains switch (b2-green- on the backside of the unit) off;
2. For a possible equipotential connection, use the plug (b4 on the backside of the unit), and the device (b6 on
the backside of the unit) to adjust the functioning acoustic signals (the max. is clockwise). The alarm signals
cannot be regulated.
DATA STORING AT THE SWITCHING ON

When switched on, or after a temporary leak of current:
The unit always stores all the settings/regulations used when switched off (see also Par. “PROGRAMS AND
MEMORIES”);
The unit does not keep the selection of the bipolar coagulation AUTO, and it automatically sets the coagulation
MICRO.
The operators must select the current AUTO every time the device is switched on, as the safety rules for the
electro-surgical units do not allow that, when switching on, a current with automatic start/stop system is
applied without having been intentionally chosen by the users.
CONNECTION AND USE OF THE FOOT-SWITCH PEDALS

The unit is equipped with a standard twin foot-switch pedal (34-9330), which allows to activate or the monopolar
currents or the bipolar currents (cut/coagulating cut or coagulations).
On request, the unit can also be equipped with another twin foot-switch pedal (34-9331), which allows the
independent use of the bipolar currents, and therefore it can be very useful in the following cases:
- When surgeons want to continuously alternate the use of monopolar and bipolar currents by simply pressing
on the different pedals at each time (notably in laparoscopic procedures);
- When surgeons want to use the bipolar currents through an independent pedal foot-switch, which is not the
one used for the monopolar currents.
Use of the standard twin pedal foot-switch (34-9330)
Connect the pedal to the socket PEDAL -1 (MONO/BIP) and, by pressing on the key of the area 1-H, select the
functioning mode:
- MONO to activate the monopolar currents of cut/coagulating cut (yellow pedal), or coagulation (blue pedal);
- BIP to activate the bipolar currents of cut/coagulating cut (yellow pedal), or coagulation (blue pedal), except
for the coagulation AUTO (which is not activated by any pedal foot-switch).
Use of two twin pedal foot-switches (34-9330 and 34-9331)
Connect the pedal 34-9330 to the socket PEDAL-1 (MONO/BIP) and the pedal 34-9331 to the socket PEDAL-2
(BIP)). When the pedal 34-9331 is connected, the Led of the area 1– H automatically sets itself on MONO mode,
and the unit works as follows:
- The pedal 34-9330 activates the monopolar currents of cut/coagulating cut (yellow pedal), or coagulation (blue
pedal);
- The pedal 34-9331 activates the bipolar currents of cut/coagulating cut (yellow pedal), or coagulation (blue
pedal), except for the coagulation AUTO (which is not activated by any foot-switch pedal).
FUNCTIONING, NUMBER OF USABLE ELECTRODES, AND ACTIVATION MODES
1) Monopolar functioning with HF currents
The monopolar functioning requires the use of two electrodes (an active one, and a neutral one). The current
flows from the active electrode towards the neutral electrode, so that the process concerns all the tissues
around the specific point where the active electrode operates.
For the use with HF currents in open sky surgery or in laparoscopy, the unit can be used:
- With 1 or 2 electrodes-holder handle/s (they can be both hand-switch type with twin key cut/coag, or just
one can be hand-switch type with twin key cut/coag, while the other is normal type for use by twin pedal
foot-switch cut/coag).
It can be used with two electrodes-holder handles (as above described) at the same time by two
different operators. In order to use the unit in this way, it must be selected a coagulation mode without
contact (Fulg or Spray), as stated by the International Safety Rules for the HF electro-surgical equipments
(IEC 60601-2-2, par. 46.103).
When the unit is on, the bipolar modes are always possible, as specified here below at point 2).
For the use with HF currents in flexible endoscopic surgery, the unit can be used:
- With 1 flexible electrode for electro-surgery only (i.e. loop type for polipectomy) with twin pedal foot-switch
cut/coag;
For the use with HF currents in endoscopic surgery under liquid in urology or gynaecology (TUR), the
unit can be used:
- With 1 electrode of the monopolar resectoscope by twin pedal foot-switch cut/coag;
2) Bipolar functioning with HF currents

The bipolar functioning does not require the use of the neutral electrode, as the current flows between the tips
of the bipolar electrode, and it only affects the tissues of this specific area.
The unit always allows this kind of use as follows:
- With 1 bipolar electrode (for cut/coagulating cut and/or coagulation connected to the socket BIPOLAR-A
or to the socket BIPOLAR-B) by twin pedal foot-switch cut/coag;
- With 1 bipolar electrode (for coagulation connected to the socket BIPOLAR-A or to the socket BIPOLAR-
B) with automatic start/stop system (impedance sensing), by selecting the coagulation AUTO;
- With 1 bipolar electrode (for coagulation/sealing of big vessels connected to the socket BIPOLAR-A or to
the socket BIPOLAR-B) with foot-switch activation but automatic stop system (impedance sensing), by
selecting the coagulation SEALING;
- With 2 bipolar electrodes (one for the cut/coagulating cut connected to the socket BIPOLAR-A and one
for the coagulation
connected to the socket BIPOLAR-B) with twin pedal foot-switch cut/coag.
When 2 electrodes are used, by pressing on the pedal cut (yellow) the first electrode is activated and the
cut currents are delivered, while by pressing on the pedal coag (blue) the second electrode is activated
and the coagulation currents are delivered.
Even in this case, the coagulation electrode can be used with the automatic start/stop system (impedance
sensing), by selecting the coagulation AUTO, or with foot-switch activation but automatic stop system
(impedance sensing), by selecting the coagulation SEALING.
All the electrodes mentioned above can be used at the same time and independently, but not
simultaneously, except for the two monopolar electrodes-holder handles, as specified at point 1). In
this case, the first activation stops the other ones avoiding all possible errors and giving the right
signal to the users (See Par. “SELF-DIAGNOSIS and SELF-TEST” – Self-diagnosis system = Error
Code uSr Act and block of the unit).
MONOPOLAR MODE FOR ELECTROSURGERY

CONNECTION AND USE OF THE ACCESSORIES

** in alternative **
Socket (5- A, the led A under is lighted on): handle (forceps for coagulation, laparoscopic instrument) for the
use by foot-switches
(See Par. “CONNECTION AND USE OF THE PEDAL FOOT-SWITCHES”)
Use only this socket to connect the instruments specified here above. If other sockets are used, a failure into
the unit could occur.
Just in case of a cable with a different plug from Alsa standard type, ask for:
- GEISTER cables, by specifying the model and the instrument connector type
- Adaptor (34-9590), for the cables with non insulated plugs  from 2 to 8mm, or with insulated plug  4mm);
2. Socket (4-B the led B above is lighted up): second hand-switch handles (forceps for coagulation with hand-
switch for coag only)
** in alternative ** (by selecting the pre-set programs 89, 90)
Socket (6- B the led B under is lighted up): second handle (forceps for coagulation) for the use by foot-
switches
(See Par. “CONNECTION AND USE OF THE PEDAL FOOT-SWITCHES”);
3. Socket (7- NEUTRAL PLATE): neutral electrode.
According to the connection possibilities specified here above, the operator can use:
A Obviously, one single active electrode (handle, forceps, instrument, etc.) by hand-switches or foot-
switches (press on the key/pedal yellow for the pure cut/coagulating cut currents, or the key/pedal blue for
the coagulation currents);
B Alternatively, two active electrodes (two handles, or one handle and one forceps for coagulation, or other),
both of them by hand-switches, or just one of them by hand-switches and the other by foot-switches
(press on the key/pedal yellow for the pure cut/coagulating cut currents, or the key/pedal blue for the
coagulation currents)
C At the same time, two active electrodes by two operators, both of them by hand-switches, or just one
of them by hand-switches and the other by foot-switches, (This possibility is allowed only selecting the
coagulation modes without contact “Fulg and Spray”, as stated by the International Safety Rules for the HF
electro-surgical equipments -IEC 60601-2-2, par. 46.103);
D Alternatively, two active electrodes (two handles, or one handle and one forceps for coagulation, or other),
both of them by foot-switches (This mode is possible by selecting the pre-set programs 89 and 90 “See Par.
“PROGRAMS AND MEMORIES”);
E. !!! BIPOLAR FUNCTIONING !!!
The unit can always be used for the bipolar functioning. See Par. “BIPOLAR MODE”.
In order to favour this kind of use, the unit is equipped with 18 specific pre-set programs (See Par.
“PROGRAMS AND MEMORIES”, programs from 70 to 88), where the following features are already
memorized:
1. Activation modes and outputs available
2. Starting settings of the output powers (5 programs for cardio-surgery, 5 programs for neurosurgery, 8 programs
for general/different surgeries)
In all cases, it is possible to change all the above specified pre-settings, according to the personal
need/desire, and therefore memorize these variations into the different programs (See Par. “PROGRAMS
AND MEMORIES”).
MONOPOLAR CURRENTS, ELECTRODES, ADJUSTMENT OF THE POWERS, ADVICE
CURRENTS FOR CUT AND COAGULATING CUT
PURE CUT (PURE) – Cut without coagulating effect

This current is controlled by an automatic system (ADC System) for the self regulation of the
functioning, which guarantees that the power selected by the operators remains constant
according to the characteristics of the tissues.
Control devices to be used (area C):
- With the selection key MODE, select the current PURE, then adjust the power with the regulation keys
UP/DOWN;
- For the delivery (loud acoustic signal, and yellow Led), press on the yellow pedal of the twin foot-switch, or
the yellow key of the hand-switch handle.
Instructions for use, adjustments and electrodes
Use cutting electrodes (blade, needle, loop, Hook type, or the external part of the dissector, in laparoscopy) from
30-40W.
COAGULATING CUT (BLEND-1) – Cut with soft coagulating effect
- With the selection key, select the current BLEND-1, then adjust the power with the regulation keys UP/DOWN;
- For the delivery (loud acoustic signal, and yellow Led), press on the yellow pedal of the foot-switch, or the
yellow key of the hand-switch handle.

40W.
PURE CUT (A PURE) – Cut without coagulating effect

This is a constant voltage current and it is controlled by an automatic power self adjustment
system (APC System) according to the characteristics of the tissues.
- With the selection key, select the current A PURE, then adjust the power with the regulation keys UP/DOWN;

Use cutting electrodes (blade, needle, Hook type, or the external part of the dissector, in laparoscopy) from
approx. 80W.
COAGULATING CUT (A BLEND) – Cut with soft coagulating effect

- With the selection key, select the current A BLEND, then adjust the power with the regulation keys UP/DOWN;
-
Use cutting electrodes (blade, needle, Hook type, or the external part of the dissector, in laparoscopy) from 80W.
COMBINATED CUT (CUT ALTERNATED TO COAGULATION) (A ENDO) – For flexible endoscopy

with cutting phases alternated to coagulation phases
This is a constant voltage current and it is controlled by an automatic power self
adjustment system (APC System) according to the characteristics of the tissues.
- With the selection key, select the current A ENDO, then adjust the power with the regulation keys UP/DOWN;
Ideal for flexible endoscopic surgery (i.e. polipectomy or papillotomy).
CURRENTS FOR COAGULATION
“FULGURATION” COAGULATION– Strong superficial sparkling effect, and optimum deep coagulating
effect
This current guarantees a strong coagulating effect, both deep and superficial, and therefore it
is suitable both for coagulations performed with forceps/surgical instrument, and for
coagulations performed by grazing the tissues with the active electrode.
Control devices to be used (area D):
- With the selection key, select the current FULG, then adjust the power with the regulation keys UP/DOWN;
- For the delivery (acute acoustic signal, and blue Led), press on the blue pedal of the twin foot-switch , or the
blue key of the hand-switch electrodes-holder handle. It is also possible to deliver the current by simply closing
the coagulation forceps, just in case a hand-switch forceps.

It can be used with all types of electrodes (ball, blade, or needle type, insulated coagulation forceps, loop
electrodes in conization,
Hook electrodes, dissectors and forceps in laparoscopy) from 40-50W.
“PIN POINT” COAGULATION – Medium-Low superficial sparkling effect, and optimum deep
coagulating effect
This current guarantees a strong deep coagulating effect and a normal superficial coagulating
effect. It is suitable both for coagulations performed with forceps/surgical instrument and for
coagulations performed directly with the active electrode, just in case the operators prefer a
superficial effect which is less strong than the one of the FULG coagulation.
- With the selection key, select the current PIN POINT, then adjust the power with the regulation keys UP/DOWN;
- For the delivery (acute acoustic signal, and blue Led), press on the blue pedal of the twin foot-switch, or the
the coagulation forceps, just in case a hand-switch forceps is used.
It can be used with all types of electrodes (ball, blade, or needle type, insulated coagulation forceps, loop
electrodes in conization,
Hook electrodes, dissectors, and forceps in laparoscopy) from 40-50W.
“SOFT” COAGULATION – Low superficial sparkling effect, and good deep coagulating effect
This current guarantees a good deep coagulating effect, and a very low superficial coagulating
effect. It is suitable for coagulations performed or by forceps/surgical instrument or touching
the tissues by an active ball electrode of 4-5mm at least.
- With the selection key, select the current SOFT, then adjust the power with the regulation keys UP/DOWN;
Use coagulation electrodes (ball type, coagulation insulated forceps in laparoscopy) from 50-60W.
“SPRAY” COAGULATION – Very strong superficial sparkling effect, and good deep coagulating effect
This current guarantees a good deep coagulating effect, and a very strong superficial
coagulating effect. It is suitable both for the coagulations performed with forceps/surgical
instrument, and for coagulations performed directly with the active electrode, even far away
from the tissues.
- With the selection key, select the current SPRAY, then adjust the power with the regulation keys UP/DOWN;
Use cutting and coagulation electrodes (blade, needle, ball type, and coagulation insulated forceps, in
laparoscopy,
conization electrodes in gynaecology) from 40-50W.
ADVICE
OPEN SKY SURGERY
For the Cut, use as follows:
Current PURE, from 40-50W, for a cut without the coagulating effect (it is not very common in surgery, where the
coagulating cut is preferred);
Current BLEND-1, from 40-50W, for a cut with a medium coagulating effect;
Current BLEND-2, from 40-50W, for a cut with a very strong superficial coagulating effect, spray type;
Current A BLEND from 80-100W, for a cut with a soft coagulating effect at constant voltage, which is less efficacious
than the previous ones, but it reduces the superficial carbonization at maximum.
For the Coagulation, use as follows:
Current FULG, from 40-50W, for superficial coagulations or deep coagulations with the active electrode or the
forceps. It is the most suitable coagulation mode when a forceps or an electrode is used;
Current PIN POINT, from 40-50W, for superficial coagulations or deep coagulations with the active electrode or the
forceps, if a softer superficial effect is desired, compared to the FULG coagulation;
Current SOFT, from 40-50W, for superficial or deep coagulations, which are softer than those of the PIN POINT
coagulation, which is not suitable at all for the use with small electrodes with which it tends to cut;
Current SPRAY, from 40-50W, for a very strong superficial coagulation with the active electrode (without any
contact with the tissues), and a good deep coagulation with the forceps (it is the ideal coagulation mode for the
operators who prefer the active electrode to coagulate).
LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY
See above “OPEN SKY SURGERY” PURE, BLEND-1, BLEND-2. The current BLEND-2 is very efficacious when
using the Hooks or the external part of the forceps/dissectors to cut with a strong coagulating effect.
See above “OPEN SKY SURGERY” FULG, PIN POINT, SPRAY. The current SPRAY is very efficacious when
using the Hooks or the external part of the forceps/dissectors to coagulate.

BIPOLAR MODE
INTRODUCTION
As far as the bipolar functions, please note as follows:
- They are always available, as alternative to all the other monopolar functioning modes;
- They can be used alone, without connecting the neutral electrode. See. the pre-set programs in next paragraph;
- Besides the standard twin foot-switch (93-9330, for the monopolar or bipolar use), the unit can also be equipped
or with another twin foot-switch (34-9331, for the bipolar use only), on request. (See Par. “CONNECTION AND
USE OF THE PEDAL FOOT-SWITCHES”);
- The unit is equipped with a coagulating current AUTO (impedance sensing type) with automatic start/stop
system (switching on with adjustable delay from 0.5 to 5sec by the control device b5 which is placed on the
backside of the unit, when the tips of the forceps get in touch with the non coagulated tissues – switching off
when the tissues are coagulated). This system does not require any pedal foot-switch;
- The unit is equipped with a coagulating current SEALING for the closing/sealing of the big vessels which is
activated by the foot-switch pedal, but it switches off automatically once the vessel is coagulated.
The unit is equipped with two sockets for the connection of the bipolar electrodes, which can be selected with the
selection key (area I). By pressing the key, it is possible to select first the socket 8a-BIPOLAR-A, then the socket
8b BIPOLAR-B, and finally both of them at the same time (normally, when the unit is switched on, the socket 8a-
BIPOLAR-A is already selected).
When only one socket is selected, all the currents of cut/coagulating cut or coagulation, selected and activated by
the control devices, are delivered on the electrode connected to that socket;
When the two sockets are selected at the same time, the currents of cut/coagulating cut are delivered on the
electrode connected to the socket 8a- BIPOLAR-A, while the currents of coagulation are delivered on the electrode
connected to the socket 8b- BIPOLAR-B.
1. Socket 8a- BIPOLAR-A : first bipolar electrode (connected cable without any particular polarity) for use by
foot-switch for cutting and/or coagulation. The foot-switch for the AUTO coagulation with automatic start/stop
system is not used;
2. Socket 8b- BIPOLAR-B.: second bipolar electrode (connected cable without any particular polarity) for use by
foot-switch for coagulation only. In this case too, the foot-switch for the AUTO coagulation is not used.
In order to facilitate the bipolar use, the unit is equipped with 4 pre-set programs (See Par. “PROGRAMS
AND MEMORIES”, programs from 96 to 99) where the following features are already memorized :
- Disconnection of the neutral electrode safety circuit, which is not required for the bipolar use only (as a matter
of fact, through the 3 lit alarm Led, the circuit just informs the operators that the neutral electrode is not
connected);
- Impossibility to use the monopolar currents (the displays for the monopolar currents powers are switched off);
- Impossibility to switch on the Argon section.
- Activation modes and outputs available according to the different settings
Just in case of cables with connection plugs which are different from GEISTER standard type, ask for:
- GEISTER cables, by specifying the model and the instrument connector type;
- Adaptor, 34-9591V for cables with connector (Valleylab type).
- Adaptor, 34-9591E for cables with connector (coaxial type, Erbe or Storz type).
- Adaptor, 34-9591M for cables with connector (coaxial type, Martin or Bertchold type).
BIPOLAR CURRENTS, ELECTRODES, ADJUSTMENT OF THE POWERS, ADVICE

CURRENTS FOR CUT
PURE CUT– Cut with minimum coagulating effect
Control devices to be used (area L):
UP/DOWN;
Use the specific electrodes, from:
40-50W, with cutting electrodes, needle type;
120-130W, with the bipolar loop electrodes of the bipolar resectoscope, for soft tissues (i.e. into the bladder);
140-160W, with the bipolar loop electrodes of the bipolar resectoscope (i.e. for TUR).
COAGULATING CUT – Cut with coagulating effect

Control devices to be used (area L):
- With the selection key MODE, select the current BLEND-1, then adjust the power with the regulation keys
UP/DOWN;

As it is detailed for the current PURE

“MICRO” COAGULATION – Very soft coagulating effect
This is a constant voltage current and it is controlled by an automatic power self adjustment system (APC System)
according to the characteristics of the tissues. It is the most suitable current when operating on extremely delicate
tissues (i.e. for neurosurgery).
Control devices to be used (area F):
- With the selection key MODE, select the current MICRO, then adjust the power with the regulation keys
UP/DOWN;

Use coagulation forceps with tips of: 0.5mm (from 0.5-1W), 1mm (from 1-2W), and 2mm (from 2-4W);
Use coagulation forceps for laparoscopy, from 20-30W.
“PRECISE” COAGULATION – Soft coagulating effect

according to the characteristics of the tissues. It is the most suitable current for various
applications, and it is slightly stronger than the MICRO current.
- With the selection key MODE, select the current PRECISE, then adjust the power with the regulation keys
UP/DOWN;
Use coagulation forceps for laparoscopy, from 30-40W;
“AUTO” COAGULATION – Very soft coagulating effect and automatic start/stop system (impedance
sensing type)
This current is the same as the MICRO current, as far as the performances and the indications
are concerned.
- With the selection key MODE, select the current AUTO, then adjust the power with the regulation key
UP/DOWN s;
- For the delivery (acute acoustic signal, and blue Led), touch the tissues with the forceps tips after having
regulated the starting delay (from 0.5 to 5sec) by turning the control device b5 on the backside of the unit
(0.5sec on the left, 5sec on the right);
- For the switching off it is possible either to disconnect the forceps from the tissues or wait until the current
disconnects automatically, once the tissues are coagulated
For safety reasons, the unit is also provided with an automatic stop control,
which is activated after approximately 6 seconds of functioning (if the forceps
remains on the tissues, it starts again after a stop interval which is exactly the
same as the delay set for the start).

Not suitable for the use in laparoscopy.
“MACRO” COAGULATION – Strong coagulating effect

This current is controlled by an automatic system (ADC System) for the self regulation of the functioning, which
guarantees that the power selected by the operators remains constant according to the characteristics of the
tissues. It is the most suitable current for a strong coagulating effect on big dimensions electrodes, and therefore it
is ideal both for the operators who desire a bipolar coagulation with an effect which is “similar” to the monopolar
coagulation, and for those who want to coagulate in laparoscopy or on big tissues areas.
- With the selection key MODE, select the current MACRO, then adjust the power with the regulation keys
UP/DOWN;
- For the delivery (acute acoustic signal, and blue Led), press on the blue pedal of the twin foot-switch .
Use coagulation forceps with tips of: 1mm (from 5-10W), 2mm (from 7-15W);
Use coagulation forceps for laparoscopy, from 40-50W;
Use the loop electrodes of the bipolar resectoscope, from 70-80W.
COAGULATION FOR THE CLOSING/SEALING OF BIG VESSELS – Strong coagulating effect and
sealing of big vessels
This current is controlled by an automatic system (ADC System) for the self regulation of the functioning, which
guarantees that the power selected by the operators remains constant according to the characteristics of the
tissues. It is the most suitable current for a strong coagulating effect with sealing of big vessels through big
dimensions forceps with strong mechanic pressure.
- With the selection key MODE, select the current SEALING, then adjust the power with the regulation keys
UP/DOWN;
The delivery disconnects automatically once the vessel is coagulated/closed.
Use specific coagulation forceps with strong mechanic pressure, from 60-80W according to the dimensions of the
jaws.
ADVICE
For the Cut:
In order to optimize the functioning of the bipolar cut under liquid (TUR), and obtain the perfect cut without any
“sticking” of the tissues on the electrode, the above mentioned powers maybe have to be changed through small
variations of 10/15W each time.
For the Coagulation:
When bipolar forceps are used, it is advisable to keep their tips damp, for example with physiologic solution, in
order to reduce the typical phenomenon of the “sticking” of the tissues. It is also possible to use forceps with “anti-
sticking” tips, or with irrigation system.
PROGRAMS AND MEMORIES
The unit is provided with 100 memories (99 programmable memories and 1 for the storage of the data at the
switching off), which allow to set 99 complete functioning programs, that can be selected by simply pressing the
shifting keys UP/DOWN until the desired memory is chosen. 69 memories are totally free, and can be set by the
operators, while the remaining ones are pre-set in order to facilitate the use of the unit:
How it must be set a free memory
1. Select the desired memory with the selection keys UP/DOWN of the area B-MEMORY.(It is possible to shift
the memories from 1, 2, 3 and so on until 99 with the key UP, but also to shift them in the opposite direction,
from 99 to 1, with the key DOWN);
2. Make (in the area H) all the adjustments related to foot-switch activation (by the standard twin foot-switch 34-
9330 for monopolar/ bipolar use or by the independent twin foot-switch 34-9331 for the bipolar use only), except
for the AUTO bipolar coagulation;
3. Choose all the desired current/s and the adjustment of their power/s.
For example: as the unit is equipped with 4 different monopolar coagulation currents, it is possible to set a
memory, through the keys of the area D, with one single current and its power, or with four currents and their
different powers which can be then changed during the use, by simply pressing the selection key.
In the first case only the desired current must be selected by the selection key and only its power must be set
by the adjustment keys.
In the second case, one upon the other, each current and their power must be set by the selection key and
by the adjustment keys;
4. After having set all the parameters, the program has to be confirmed by pressing the storage key MEM of the
area B.
Is it possible to modify during the use the adjustments of the powers already set in a memory?
Yes, it is always possible, through the adjustment keys of the power of the used current, and this variation is shown
by the number of the memory which blinks. The number stops blinking if:
- The storage key MEM of the area B is pressed, in order to confirm the variation done;
- One of the two selection keys UP/DOWN of the area B is pressed, in order to come back to the powers
and/or the functioning mode which was set before the variation.
Is it possible to modify the adjustments of the power/s and/or the selected settings of a memory before the
use?
Yes, it is always possible, through the different adjustment/selection keys, and this variation is shown by the number
of the memory which blinks. The number stops blinking if:
- The storage key MEM of the area B is pressed, in order to confirm the variation done;
- One of the two selection keys UP/DOWN of the area B is pressed, in order to come back to the powers
and/or the functioning mode which was set before the variation.
Is it possible to come back to the original power and/or functioning settings, if changed but not confirmed
(while the number of the memory is blinking)?
Yes, it is. One of the two selection keys UP/DOWN of the area B must be pressed (the number of the memory stops
blinking, and the original data are set again).
Is it possible to use the unit without setting any memory?

Yes, it is, but it is less practical, as each type of intervention may require different parameters.
What is the best way to use a preset program?
A preset program helps the users assuring a specific setting needed or required for performing a specific surgical
procedure (the setting changes according to the procedure or according to the behaviour of each operator) and,
because of this reason, it is possible to set and memorize a starting program. Then, if during the use, it is needed
a changing (Current or Power can be obviously changed as above specified), the best way is:
- The following the operation using the different selection (the number of memory blinks).
- The resetting the program, at the end of the operation, to the original data by pushing, without distinction,
the selection keys UP/DOWN of the area B
What happens if the unit is switched off while the memory number is blinking?
At the moment of the switching on the unit starts with the setting used when switched off. In this case, it means with
the same memory (The number still blinking) and with the same setting.
PRE-SET MEMORIES (from 70 to 74) – Use in neurosurgery

The pre-setting concerns:
1. Activation modes and outputs available.

switch, two different monopolar active electrodes (one blade or needle electrode for cutting inserted in an
handle and one forceps for coagulation with connection cable to the unit) simply setting the same
currents or output powers and alternating the two programs (i.e. the program 89 or for using the cutting
or coagulating current “instrument for cutting or coagulating cutting” and the program 90 for using the
coagulating current “instrument for coagulation”)
The pre-setting does not concern the currents or their powers which have to be set according to the operators
needs and memorised as specified in the first part of the paragraph (for this kind of use, it is advisable to select and
set the same currents and the same powers in both memories).
A. Selecting the memory 89, one electrodes-holder handle (connected to the socket 5-A) can be used by the
foot-switch pedal. (See Par. “CONNECTION AND USE OF THE PEDAL FOOT-SWITCHES”) pressing (on the
twin foot switch) the yellow pedal for the pure/coagulating cut and the blue pedal for the coagulation currents;
B. Selecting the memory 90, one coagulation forceps (connected to the socket 6) can be used by the foot-switch
pedal. (See Par. “CONNECTION AND USE OF THE PEDAL FOOT-SWITCHES”) pressing (on the twin foot
switch) the blue pedal for the coagulation currents;
The activation modes and the outputs available can not be changed, but it is possible to set pre-set
currents/output powers and memorize the settings into these programs by pressing the key MEM of the
area B (See the first part of this paragraph).
PRE-SET MEMORIES (from 91 to 95) – Use in flexible endoscopic surgery.

1. Activation mode and output available.
The activation modes and the outputs available can not be changed, but it is possible to set standard
currents/output powers and memorize the settings into these programs by pressing the key MEM of the

SELF-DIAGNOSIS and SELF TEST SYSTEM, CONTROL of the ERROR CODES

The unit is equipped with a self-diagnosis system, which automatically intervenes in case of functioning problems,
included the delivery of powers if are higher than the set ones. It stops the device and informs the operators
through specific alarm signals (Error Codes), which can be either acoustic (loud and intermittent sound) or also
visual (see the Tables Codes for Wrong Use or Activation Circuit Fault – Codes for System Fault).
When the device is turned on, this control system carries out a complete self-test cycle over the hardware and
the software (all the Led and displays light up, and the loudspeaker is activated). If everything works properly, this
phase ends by a short acoustic signal.
If the system detects any problem, the faults are indicated as described above, and the operator must either try to
eliminate all the possible causes, or switch the equipment off and ask for a technical assistance.
When the device is running, this control system checks the functioning of the unit, included the output powers
(2000 times per second), by repeating the complete test on the functioning every 20 minutes (in an activation
interval).
Even in this case, the problems are indicated as described above (“When the device is turned on”).
Control of the Error Codes
The unit stores the last 32 Error Codes that have been detected, in order to help the operators in finding a solution
for the problems/faults. The procedure to follow for this control is detailed into the Service Manual.
Inside the E2PROM hexadecimal value corresponding to one of error codes reported on “Error code” column in the
above table are stored.
Stored code in

ENVIRONMENTAL and ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS for USE, TRANSPORT

and STORAGE
The environmental use and preservation conditions are the following ones:
Temperature (°C): +10 ÷ +40 – Humidity: 30% ÷ 75% - Pressure (hPa): 700 ÷ 1060.
The unit must not be used at less than 30cm from the wall or other objects that can obstruct the
ventilation areas, and it must be placed on a trolley or a support (there are two screwed points under the
basis for the fixing).
When the unit is not used, it must be kept in a dry place, not dusty. Be aware that no liquid is poured on
it.
The environmental transport and storage conditions are the following ones:
Temperature (°C): -40 ÷ +70 - Humidity: 10% ÷ 95% - Pressure (hPa): 500 ÷ 1060.
For the shipment of the unit, we suggest to use the original packaging, or at least a new one that can guarantee the
same reliability.
MAINTENANCE and DISPOSAL

The unit must be regularly checked (once per year) by qualified personnel, even better if by the
Manufacturer himself. Check always the perfect condition of the accessories, because
otherwise their use can be dangerous.
Its disposal must be done according to the different National Rules, by bearing in mind that the
accessories (notably the active and neutral ones) get in contact with the patients tissues, and
therefore require a special attention.
CLEANING AND STERILIZATION

1. Clean the unit with a neutral soap solution, by taking care that no liquid goes inside, and then wipe it by a
dry cloth. Clean the pedal foot-switches in the same way, or with a cold disinfectant solution (i.e. “Amuchina”);
2. Attention: at the moment of the sale the accessories are not sterile.
The following accessories can be sterilized in autoclave (gloves cycle at 121°C for 20min / 134°C for 10min),
or with cold solutions (i.e. “Amuchina”):
- The electrodes-holder handles and all the active electrodes;
- The cables and the forceps for bi-coagulation, the cables and the forceps (scissors, cannulae) for monopolar
coagulation;
- The cables and the monopolar/bipolar electrodes for laparoscopy;
- The reusable type neutral electrodes (electrodes and cables) can be sterilized only with cold solutions (i.e.
“Amuchina”).
During the sterilisation, do not bend too much the connection cables, and wipe perfectly all the parts of the
accessories before using them, in order to eliminate all traces of humidity. The best thing to do is to centrifuge
them.
