During assembly, ensure that the threaded cap 1 is in the front detent
position (see figure).
Slide the shaft tube 2 over the distal end of the argon electrode and screw it
firmly together with the threaded cap 1.
Firstly it must be ensured that the HF generator and the Argon controlling device
are ready for operation. The valve on the gas bottle must be open and there must
be a sufficent reserve of gas.
1. Sterilely remove the handle and electrodes from the container.
2. Carry out a visual inspection of the instrument for damage to the
insulation. Do not use damaged instruments! BOWA warns against
repairing damage. The instrument operates with high coagulation
voltages!
3. Insert the required Argon electrode into the electrode mounting of the
handle. Ensure that the plastic hexagonal part of the electrode shaft is
completely housed by the handle.
4. Connect the 3 pin plug to the HF surgical instrument.
5. Connect the Argon gas connector to the Argon controlling device. For
this, connect the male Luer Lock connection of the handle to the
female Luer Lock gas outlet of the Argon controlling device.
It is recommended that a sterile filter (Art. No. 830-050) be used between the
Argon instrument and the connection plug of the Argon handle.
6. Activate the purge function of the Argon gas controlling device in order
to flood the gas inlet of the handle with Argon gas.
7. Operate the foot switch and/or the finger switch of the Argon surgical
handle consecutively and check system operation (activation of the Argon gas
controlling device and the HF generator).
6. Operation
6.1 Sliding argon electrode
Argon electrodes with a slide mechanism enable changing between the
cutting and coagulation functions during an operation. The instrument can
be used for argon-based cutting with a knife or a needle electrode by sliding
the shaft tube backward. Sliding the shaft tube forward enables argon-based
coagulation.
