NOTES
The Smith & Nephew VULCAN™ Generator is designed to provide finely-controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy for the coagulation, cutting, ablation, and hemostasis of soft tissue during a variety of surgical procedures. The generator control unit is specifically designed for use with Smith & Nephew temperature-controlled and power-controlled probes.
ADDITIONAL SPECS
The generator control unit is a line-voltage powered, radiofrequency generator capable of delivering up to 200 watts of power. The generator control unit includes a neutral electrode monitor (NEM) to monitor split grounding pad contact quality. It is designed to be used only with Smith & Nephew temperature- controlled, cutting, and ablation probes and includes the following features:
• Two RF output modes: Temperature Control Mode, where the output power is software- controlled to maintain a specified tissue temperature; and Power Control Mode, used for cutting, ablation, and hemostasis.
• Numerical displays for impedance, set power, delivered power, set temperature, actual temperature, set cut, set coagulation, and preset selections.
• Message display for text messages.
• Indicators for electrode type (monopolar or bipolar), mode (Temperature Control or Power Control), stand-by, RF power on, RF output type (cut or coagulation), fault, and split grounding pad monitoring. NEM monitors the split grounding pad connection during surgery, discontinuing RF delivery if a fault in the NEM monitor circuit is detected.
• A probe recognition system: the generator control unit automatically selects the appropriate mode and preset settings for the probe type.
