The unit is equipped with a heavy duty waterproof dual footswitch pedal for CUT/COAG modes.
The footswitch mode selector and light indicators described in the section 2.2.7, 2.2.8 and 2.2.9
will respond accordingly to the activated mode, i.e., the yellow light indicator will be "ON" when
the Cut footswitch pedal is depressed. The blue light indicator will be "ON" when the COAG
footswitch pedal is depressed. The light indicators are normally OFF in this footswitch controlled
mode since the mode selection CUT or COAG is activated by the footswitch. i.e. the Footswitch
mode switch will not be in effect. All modes, CUT, CUT/COAG, HEMO, FULGURATE, and
BIPOLAR shall be selected by depressing the selector buttons on the front panel as well as
adjusting the output power settings. The power output is activated by the footswitch pedal. The
Footpedal will activate the mode that is lit up on the front panel.

2.1.2.2 3-Button Fingerswitch Handpiece Control:

This patented, unique fingerswitch handpiece is implemented to control CUT, CUT / COAG, and
HEMO. To activate this special function handpiece, depress the middle button on the finger-
switch handpiece and hold down for three seconds. As the button is held down the following
sequence should be observed:

a. "HOLD" should be displayed on the power display of the CUT mode.

b. The power display of COAG mode starts to count down from "03","02","01" and then "0"
c. Release this middle button on the 3-Button Fingerswitch Handpiece and the functions are
successfully activated. Then all power displays return to previous power settings.
d. Yellow light CUT and CUT / COAG indicators will alternate "ON" and "OFF" as well as
blue light HEMO and BIPOLAR indicators. They are in standby, ready for action in
CUT,CUT/ COAG, or HEMO mode by the fingerswitch handpiece control.
e. Once the yellow and the blue lights are flashing set all appropriate power settings.
The first yellow button activates the CUT mode.
The middle yellow button activates the CUT/COAG mode.
The blue button activates the HEMO mode.
f. ONLY THE FOOTPEDAL CONTROL CAN ACTIVATE THE BIPOLAR FUNCTION

The FULGURATE mode is not accessible.

of the lower display, verify that the displayed number, initially zero,
increases in value. (Set it to "6".)

A36 Note that FULGURATE will be skipped, because there is no

FULGERATION on the 3-Button Fingerswitch handpiece.

A37 By the same token, select BIPOLAR (lower blue light) and set it to "9".

A38 Repeatedly depress the SELECT push button, and Verify that the
displayed previously set values are corresponding to the selected
mode, i.e., HEMO-6 & BIPOLAR-9.

A39 Depress CUT, CUT/COAG, and HEMO buttons to verify that the
previously set values correspond with displayed numbers,
i.e., CUT-5, CUT/COAG-7, and HEMO-6 .

A40 Turn the unit OFF and back ON to verify that all displays remain the
same.

A41 To test for setting default value, Repeat step A27.

A42 To test operational duty cycle for and audio tone, activate the unit
to verify the power output with the first tone for 55 seconds then
another 5 seconds for the second tone before OFF.

ALTERNATE PERFORMANCE PROCEDURES FOR THE

SURGITRON® 4.0 DUAL RF/120

Using an RF303RF Electrosurgery Performance Analyzer or equivalent check out the Bipolar output of the SUR-
GITRON® 4.0 DUAL RF/120 conforms Figure 4.3.1

Since Electrosurgery Performance Analyzers are not calibrated for measurements at

4 MHz, Monopolar performance must use the following procedure:

1. Connect a 500-ohm load to the IEC using the 8-inch Jumpers and connect the P5100 High Voltage Scope
Probes across the 500-ohm load.

**Caution: do not use a normal scope probe as it could result in damage to the oscilloscope.
 2. Measure the Peak Volts across the 500 ohm load and confirm using the table below that the unit is within
limits.

Using an EIC601 Electrical Safety Analyzer or equivalent check that the SURGITRON® 4.0 DUAL RF/120 is
within limits for Electrical Safety as per IEC60601

Rules to Prevent damage to the IEC3a Unit

1. Never run unit for long periods of time over 30∞ C. When the transistor reaches 40∞ C damage will occur
2. Check Mono-polar and Bi-polar at 5% power to check for output.
3. When using the 500W load on Mono-Polar Mode, Start at 5% power. Then slowly increase Power
4. Never let the load resistor become too hot, it will cause them to fail
