Hello everybody I'm going to be showing you how to set up an ESU, electrosurgical
unit to a ESA an electrosurgical analyzer. In order to perform any testing, the
hardest part of testing an ESU to an ESA is actually making all of the
connections. The actual ESA itself has a menu that's pretty straightforward, pretty
easy to use so long as you get the connections down right you should be
good to go. In order to start connecting I'm going to use some cords that are color-coordinated.
Here I'm going to use yellow as cut, I'm going to connect that, I'm going to
connect it to the mono polar port designated for cut. I'll use blue for COAG
and again I will plug that into the port designated for COAG on the mono
polar side. Last connection here is going to be red that's my hot electrode and I'm
going to connect that to the variable high. There's one more connection I need to
make as far as these cords go and I'm going to connect the common to the variable high.
Next step we want to connect our return electrode because we're using
mono polar it's not actually going to work unless the return electrode is
activated like that there. On the electrosurgical analyzer we connect the
return electrode to the cqm port. So I have all my connections made. The only
connection you don't see on the back of my ESU,I have a foot switch that's
connected. Now this foot switch, I'm not actually going to be pressing the pedals,
when I do the testing the foot switch automatically engages the ESA
when I go and start the tests. So on the main menu we have a couple
of different options on the ESA we're going to go ahead
and do the generator output test.
When the generator output tests shows up, you have a couple different options. You
have load and delay fluke recommends that you use 200 ohms for a load when doing
this testing and they recommend that the delay is one second. Some other options
you have you can do a cut or COAG depending on what type of test you want.
You can do a start single test or a start continuous test and last you can
save your data. On the right now when we start our test all of the information
that we want is going to be on the right side. We're gonna get power measured in
watts. We're going to get current measured in milliamps. We're going to get peak to
peak voltage and we're going to get a crest factor. So with everything set to go
all I need to do is hit start single. We are set for cut that's going to be good.
Let's go ahead and start this. Before I start, know that my ESU is actually set
to 100 on the cut side so let's see what wattage we get with 200 ohms 86.2
watts. If I wanted to measure the COAG side I'd just select COAG here. I can start
single again.
My COAG was set to 80 on the ESU and you can see I have a the wattage of
66.84 for power. Our current set 578 peak to peak voltage at 747 and a crest factor
of 3.2. So this is one way to connect the two devices together. I'm actually going
to show you another way. What we need to do, we actually need to disconnect most
of these. I'm going to leave the common and the variable high jump and I'm going to
leave my ground electrode, a return electrode connected as well. So what I'm
doing now is I'm grabbing a mono polar pen and I'm gonna connect that pen as we
normally would into the mono polar port but instead of
having a blade at the end like I was actually going to be using the
electrosurgical pen here, I'm actually going to be taking a
cord that has a pin on the end. I'm going to be sticking that into the ESU pen. I'm
going to take the other end and I'm going to connect it to any port cut or COAG
depending on what test we're doing. I have cut selected on the analyzer so I'm
just going to go ahead and connect that to the cut jack there. The difference
between this test and the test with the foot switch is that when I start the
test I actually need to hit the appropriate button depending on what
type of tests we're doing because we're doing cut I'll be hitting the
yellow cut button.
And as you can see the numbers came up just as you would with the footswitch no
difference, 87.9 watts 663 milliamps etcetera. If I wanted to do COAG I would just
change the COAG. Here I change my port to the COAG port and I'd be hitting the
Co AG button.
And there's our information displayed there. So as I mentioned before setting
up the two devices is the most important and probably most difficult part of
doing any sort of testing. Actually using the electrode surgical analyzer itself
is pretty straightforward and easy and that's it guys thank you very much.
