Introduction
The RF303 Electrosurgical Analyzer, hereafter referred to as the “Analyzer”,
tests electrosurgical units (ESU) for generator output and high frequency (HF)
leakage. It is compatible with both isolated and earth/ground-referenced types
of electrosurgical units. You can test both the high-level monopolar and the
low-level bipolar ESU outputs using this versatile Analyzer.
The Analyzer uses a precision high-voltage capacitive attenuator to sample the
applied ESU signal. You can use this attenuated HF voltage and the selected
test load resistance value to derive the true-rms values of both current and
wattage.
The Analyzer internal test load simulates the range of resistance encountered
during surgical procedures. Additionally, a second, 200 ohm (e) auxiliary test
load resistance is built-in to analyze earth/ground-referenced ESUs as specified
in the International Standard IEC 601-2-2.
The exclusive use of non-conductive, high-impact plastic case material
minimizes extraneous high frequency leakages within the Analyzer.
General Safety Information
This Analyzer complies with safety and technical requirements described in
the following directives:
