7.5
Problem solving
Finding
HF generator does not switch on
The device is switched on, but no displays are illumi-
nated and the self-test is not being carried out
Self-test fails
HF generator is active (power ON signal lamp 9 lights
up), and accessories are connected, but there is no HF
discharge
Note
If the failure occurs during HF discharge, the vessel sealing may be incom-
plete or insufficient.
In order to ensure that sufficient hemostasis has been achieved, follow the
procedure for regrasp errors, see Regrasp error.
Note
If the failure continues after turning the device off and on again twice, con-
tact your national B. Braun/Aesculap agency, see Technical Service.
Remedy
Ensure that the power cord has been correctly plugged into the power supply 13 of the HF
generator.
Ensure that the power cord is connected to a functioning power source.
Ensure that the power OFF/ON switch 12 of the HF generator is in the power ON position.
Check the fuse in the fuse box and replace if necessary, see Fuse replacement.
If the error continues, replace power cord.
Switch off HF generator, wait 5 s, switch HF generator on again.
If the error continues, contact your national B. Braun/Aesculap agency, see Technical Ser-
vice.
Switch off HF generator, wait 5 s, switch HF generator on again.
If the error continues, contact your national B. Braun/Aesculap agency, see Technical Ser-
vice.
Verify that the required foot switch (if used ) is properly connected and plugged in.
Ensure that the Caiman Seal & Cut Instrument is correctly connected and plugged in (green
ring 1 is lit up).
In order to start the HF discharge, activate the button on the instrument or the foot switch.
If the error continues, replace Caiman instrument.
Remedy
Switch off HF generator, wait 5 s, switch HF generator on
Switch off HF generator, wait 5 s, switch HF generator on
Switch off HF generator, wait 5 s, switch HF generator on
Switch off HF generator, wait 5 s, switch HF generator on
Switch off HF generator and leave to cool down
Check the air stream around the generator
Switch off HF generator, wait 5 s, release operating mode
selection button (MODE) 2, switch HF generator on
Switch off HF generator, wait 5 s, switch HF generator on
Switch off HF generator, wait 5 s, switch HF generator on
Switch off HF generator, wait 5 s, switch HF generator on
