Intended use

The HF device GN060 is used for coagulation in neurosurgery, ENT surgery,
urology, gynecology, hand surgery and in plastic reconstruction. The
device is approved for use on open heart surgery (type CF).

Operating principle

The HF device GN060 is a microprocessor-controlled device with corre-
sponding convenience in operation and extensive monitoring functions. It
is operated using a cleaning-friendly membrane keyboard.
The device can be operated in the voltage ranges of 100 V to 120 V and
220 V to 240 V (+/- 10 %) with 50 Hz up to 60 Hz of mains frequency. For
selecting the voltage, see Presetting the correct voltage.
There are two operating modes available with an adjusted load character-
istic in each case:
■
"Micro" operating mode: maximum 10 watts with approx. 50 ohms
■
"Macro" operating mode: maximum 50 watts with approx. 100 ohms
The dose is adjusted with a counter with the buttons "+" and "-". The
counting speed is two-level. Through this, the desired dose is adjustable
quickly and precisely.
The device also has the option of storing four device settings including
dose values (empirical values) and of accessing them again at any time,
see Store device settings. The stored settings are preserved even in the
event of the device being switched off for a longer period of time (approx.
10 years).
For activating the HF generator, a foot switch is needed as standard. If the
optional automatic starting GN062 is built in, automatic operation can be
used. This activates the HF output if, between the two arms of the coag-
ulation forceps, the tissue resistance is below a particular value or if both
forceps arms touch (note installation note TA021293 of the automatic
starting)

The device carries out a self-test every time it is switched on. Also during
operation and when the HF output is activated, the most important func-
tions are monitored. If disturbances or errors of any kind occur, the device
immediately enters the safe operating mode, i.e. the HF generator is deac-
tivated. The disturbances or errors recognized by the microprocessor are
shown in the display as an error code, see Troubleshooting list.
HF output performance charts
In the following two diagrams, see Fig. 1 and see Fig. 2, the power output
of the HF device is represented dependent on the dose adjustment and the
adjoining load resistance.
