Description

PULSAR Generator

The PULSAR Generator is one component of the PEAK Surgery System. The Generator provides radio frequency (RF) energy to a disposable Monopolar electrosurgical device. The system is used to perform electrosurgery.

Electrosurgical Modes

The PULSAR Generator operates in the following modes:

Cut Modes

• Low Cut – Precision cutting with some hemostasis and minimal collateral damage

• Medium Cut (Pure Cut) – Precision cutting with increased hemostasis and collateral damage

• High Cut (Blend Mode) – Precision cutting with strong hemostasis

Coagulation Modes

Coagulation increases with higher settings.

• Low Coag (Pinpoint)

• High Coag (Spray)

■ IMPORTANT:

• Each cut and coagulation mode has multiple power settings available.

• Monopolar device models vary and may not utilize all modes. Available modes for each device are per applicable device’s Instructions For Use.

Other features of the PULSAR Generator include:

• Proprietary devices developed by Medtronic Advanced Energy to deliver RF energy to the patient. Only PEAK PlasmaBlade devices may be used with the PULSAR Generator.

• Device hand control

• Device footswitch control (infrared wireless footswitch)

• Device default settings recognition

• Monopolar and Bipolar connectors, with only the Monopolar functional

• Connection to Patient Return Electrode and impedance sensing feature

• Color LCD to prompt user for input and to display informational, error, and fault messages

• Audio feedback—activation and alarm tones
