User

The safety and effectiveness of electrosurgical interventions depend not only o
the equipment used, but also to a major extent on factors which are under the control of the
user. It is therefore extremely important to read, understand and follow the instructions supplied
with the electrosurgical generator and the accessories in order to ensure safety and
effectiveness.

Accessories

Do not apply excessive bending, straining, or squeezing force to any cords. It may cause
malfunction.

The electrosurgical generator shall only be used with compatible accessories. When connecting
accessories (cords, electrodes, HF instruments) avoid output settings where the maximum
output voltage of the electrosurgical generator may exceed the rated accessory voltage (refer to
“Mode characteristics”, “Output characteristics” in the Appendix of the ins
instruction manual of the accessory). For a list of compatible neutral electrodes, refer to
“Specifications” in the Appendix of the instruction for use.

Before use, the electrosurgical unit and accessories must be examined for damage. All
communication cables and its plugs must be free of scratches and cracks. Cables and
accessories with damaged insulation or connections must not be used.

Electric shock

To prevent the risk of electric shock, the housing of the electrosurgical unit must be grounded.
Always connect the power cord plug to a properly grounded wall outlet. Do not use a

However, certain modes may present an unacceptable risk at low output power settings. For
example, with the PulseCut fast mode or PulseCut slow mode, the ris k of an excessive thermal

basic testing before using the electrosurgical generator. If the instruction manual of the HF

ESG-400

2 Features

The ESG-400 is a reusable, non-sterile electrosurgical generator with different mono- and bipol ar cutting and
coagulation modes. The maximum output power is 320 W.

On the front side it features a touch screen display that displays the connection status of accessories and
peripherals connected to the electrosurgical generator. It is also used to show and modify the output settings
(e.g. mode, output power, effect) as well as to control other functions (e.g. save settings).

In addition the ESG-400 has a bipolar socket, two monopolar sockets, a neutral electrode socket, and a
universal socket to connect applicators with instrument recognition. The power switch turns the generator on
and off.

Two contact quality indicators (one for split and one for non-split electrodes) are green illuminated if neutral
electrodes are correctly connected. Three additional push buttons allow recalling a previously saved setting
(Select Procedure), to assign the footswitches to specific output sockets (Footswitch), and to control several
other functions (Menu), e.g. select language, touch tone control, output volume, or brightness.

On the rear panel the volum e control, a ventilation hole, the equipotential bonding point, the AC power socket,
and two footswitch sockets can be found. Furthermore, for the connection of peripheral equipment 26-pin plugs
respectively 14-pin plugs can be connected to the LINK-IN or to the LINK-OUT socket.

On the bottom panel, a docking socket is featured. It can be used to connect the ESG-400 directly to the
USG-400 and upcoming devices . The ESG-400 is compatible with the new USG-400 ultrasonic generator to
enable the use of combined (US + HF) instruments.

(1) In general, the main unit mus t be shipped to a service center in the event of a malfunction.
(2) Indiv id ual units can be replaced.

2 Board Compatibility

The compatibility of boards and components is dependent on the hardware version of the generator. The
hardware version can be indentified by the serial number of the generator.

The serial number starting with 5 numbers, hardware version with WXX and followed by 3 numbers after the
hyphen.

Example: XXXXXWYY-ZZZ, WYY will show the hardware version.

4 Precautions on Function and Operation Settings

4-1 General Precautions

Before repair, it is generally advisable to record the function and operation settings as the basis for restoring
these settings after service.
If the original settings cannot be known due to mechanical problems present at the time the unit was accepted
for repair, apply the f actory-set values or the safest settings (such as the lowest output levels). In this case,
inform the user that the settings have been changed.

2 Inspection procedures

The electrosurgical generator and the footswitch must undergo an ins pection / safety check in yearly intervals
in accordance with the national statutory regulations. Inspection is also mandatory after repair, adjustment,
update and upgrade.

Generally the foots witches are inspected together with the electrosurgical unit. If a footswitch alone has to be
checked, only following tests are mandatory. The Numbers used referring to the Inspection Card in chapter 5-3:

For a single footswitch test number 2, 39 and 55 are mandatory.
For a double footswitch test number 2, 38, 39 and 55 are mandatory.

Follow these test instructions. All tests must be done with fully functional and calibrated test equipment and by
technicians trained in the service / maintenance of electrical medical devices. Record the test results in the
“Inspection Card” (refer to chapter 5-3, Inspection Card) for reference in future tests and provide the user of the
electrosurgical unit with a signed report.

During service / maintenance take care of the different hardware and software versions which may be
applicable. Information how to identify the hardware version can be found in chapter 3-2, Board Compatibility.
Information how to identify the software version can be found in chapter 1-3, Software version.

If the electrosurgical unit fails to meet any of the checks, the unit has to be adjusted according to chapter 6
(Adjustment) or refer to chapter 4 (Troubleshooting). If the failure still occurs, contact the manufa cturer.

To avoid inadvertent coupling and /

2) Check the adjustment of the
volume via the volume control
knob at the rear of the housing.

There will be an acoustic
feedback for the setting.

3) Record the test results in the Inspection Card (refer to chapter 5-3).

2-11-3 Functionality of push buttons

1)
by pressing.

2) The buttons should perform according to the
description in the instruction for use.

3)
Card (refer to chapter 5-3).

2-11-4 Communication test

1) Connect the sockets “LINK-IN” and “LINK-OUT” at the rear of the housing by the Communication Cable

7.022.211 / ISSUE 5 95 / 110 Chapter 5: Inspection

Fig. 5.2.12. Position of the push buttons

(J012) with each other. In this way a ring communication is established.

2) The Error Message “E394 Communication error” should appear.

3) Record the test results in the Inspection Card (refer to chapter 5-3).

2-11-5 Restore of output power settings

Restore the settings by using the tables created in chapter 7-2-1. When not done while inspecting, restore all
power settings off the changed modes noted in table 7.2. Finally restore the las t active procedure if applic able
and assign all modes to the sockets.

2-12 Inspection label (For applicable markets)

1) Cover or exchange an inspection label (as shown in Fig. 5.2.14) at the rear panel of the electrosurgical
unit’s housing and mark the due date of the next periodic safety check (month / year). The electrosurgical
unit must undergo a periodic safety check at annual intervals.

2) Record the due date in the safety check report (see chapter 5-3).
