Ignition test

If the APC-applicators are stored for a longer period of time, it is
possible that the first ignition of the plasma is more or less de-
layed. For this reason, carry out an ignition test before applica-
tion of the Argon Plasma Coagulation. To do this, use a relatively
large, metallic object. It must be sterile and have no electrically
conductive contact to the patient, to other persons or to elec-
tronic units.
If the plasma does not ignite, proceed as follows:
1. Check the argon flow. Is it sufficient? Gas flow rate at least
1.5 l / min.
2. Check the connection to the HF generator. Is this OK?
3. If the argon flow and connection are OK, move the APC ap-
plicator as close as possible to the metallic object. Activate
the unit several times if necessary, until the plasma ignites.
Once the plasma has ignited, it normally ignites without delay for
subsequent activations.

Safety instructions for processing

Erbe Elektromedizin recommends machine cleaning/
disinfection. Because it is much less effective, manual cleaning
is not recommended.
May be cleaned in an ultrasonic bath.
Never use sharp objects for cleaning.
Disinfectants must be rinsed off thoroughly after use.
Maximum air pressure during drying: 2 bar.
Maximum water pressure during rinsing: 2 bar.
During machine cleaning and disinfection, do not exceed 95 °C.
