The ELECTROSURGICAL UNIT UES-40 (UES-40) is designed for use in medical facilities
under doctor supervision in combination with designated reusable high-frequency instruments, endoscopes, and light sources in surgical procedures and treatment using endoscopes (fiber scopes, videoscopes, and rigid scopes) for the cutting and coagulation of living
tissue.
(1) Expanding the functions available with the UES-30
The UES-40 also offers an output system for use in physiological saline (TURis). TURis
frees surgeons from the need for a patient plate, and offers improved safety over conventional TUR is.
TURis (TUR in saline): A technique for cutting and ablation in physiological saline
TUR: Transurethral resection of the prostate
(2) Supports the use of multiple electrodes
(Separate settings can be used for each system: bipolar, monopolar, and saline.)
(3) The UES-40 features exclusive specifications and is compatible with EndoALPHA.
(4) For easier use, the front panel is designed at a 20° vertical orientation.
(5) The design of the UES-40 is coordinated with the VISERA Video System.

Output (ON) timing: within 10 seconds; output stop (OFF): 30 seconds or more
Bipolar output can be
selected using the
switch select switch
The saline port detects the
saline cable to be connected
and the output terminal is
automatically selected.
Monopolar output can be
selected using the Footswitch select switch (except
during control using the
handpiece)

2-2Safety functions
2-2-1Patient-plate monitor (for monopolar systems only)
Detects connection problems or disconnection of the single type patient plate, as well as
loosening of split type patient plates. If problems are detected, the following operations are
performed.
• Warning indicator is lit.
• Error code is displayed on output indicator.
• Audible warning is issued.
• High-frequency output is stopped.

UES-40
2-2-2High-frequency-output monitor
Detects whether the output value is correct for the output setting value. If problems are
detected, the following operations are performed.
• Error code is displayed on output indicator.
• Audible warning is issued.
• High-frequency output is stopped.
2-2-3Output timing monitor (for monopolar or saline systems only)
Detects the high-frequency output timing. If output continues for more than 60 seconds, the
following operations are performed.
• Error code is displayed on output indicator.
• Audible warning is issued.
• High-frequency output is stopped.
2-2-4Self-check monitor
Verifies the correct operation of all safety functions. If problems are detected, the following
operations are performed.
• Error code is displayed on output indicator.
• Audible warning is issued.
• Various settings are disabled.
• High-frequency output is stopped.
2-2-5Control switch monitor
Detects short-circuits of each switch (foot switch and handpiece). If problems are detected,
the following operations are performed.
• Error code is displayed on output indicator.
• Audible warning is issued.
• Various settings are disabled.
• High-frequency output is stopped.
2-3Additional features
2-3-1Preset function
Use of the preset function enables the most-recently used output setting, as well as up to
five configurations of preset user settings, to be stored for future use.
2-3-2CQM function
When split type patient plates are attached, the CQM indicator lights up when there is a
good connection with the patient.

3. Operating Requirements
(1) The operating conditions must be as follows.
Ambient temperature:10°C to 40°C
Relative humidity:30% to 85%
Atmospheric pressure: 700 hPa to 1060 hPa
Never use the UES-40 where flammable vapors occur.
(2) The power requirements are as follows.
Rated input voltage120 V220 V
Rated input current12A6A
Frequency50/60 Hz
Permissible voltage fluctuation±10%
(3) Do not use in combination with products not designated by Olympus.
(4) Before using the UES-40 for the treatment of patient s weari ng pacemakers, consult the
pacemaker manufacturer.
(5) Do not attach the patient plate for use near metallic implants.
(6) Do not wind UES-40 cords into loops or allow them to touch the patient or metall ic p art s
of the surgical table.
(7) Do not bundle UES-40 cords with cords of other medical equipment during use.
(8) Keep the UES-40 and its cords adequately separated from other medical equipment
and cords.
(9) If non-CF products are used in combination with the UES-40, do not use directly on the
heart.
(10) To ensure electrical safety, use of the following electronic medical equipment in combi-
nation with the UES-40 is prohibited:
a)Equipment not yet proven safe when used with the UES-40
b)Equipment not yet proven safe due to certain aspects of operation (such as the
leakage current)
(11) If the UES-40 is used in combination with endoscopic instruments for which the rated
voltage is listed in each instrument user manual, compare the open outpu t-volt age char-
acteristics of the instruments with those of the UES-40 and adjust the output within the
USE-40’s rated voltage values. Refer to Fig. 1-1 to 1-4 for the open voltage characteris-
tics. If the user’s manuals for these instruments do not list the rated voltage, set the out-
put low initially and then gradually increase the output level.
