Checking the ESST Feature
The X8000 is equipped with Electronic Scope Sensing Technology (ESST), a
special safety feature that helps prevent accidental fires or burns to the patient or
user caused by a light cable not connected to a scope. This feature will only work
if the X8000 is used with an ESST light cable. When operated with an ESST light
cable, the X8000 senses when the scope and light cable are separated, and places
the light source in Standby mode. In Standby mode, the X8000 will reduce light
output to a minimum, preventing the light cable from generating excessive heat.
To verify the ESST feature is active, perform the following test before every
surgical procedure:
1.
Set up the X8000 system with an ESST light cable and scope, and then
power on the system.
2.
Place the X8000 in Run mode.
3.
Remove the light cable from the ESST scope adapter.
The X8000 should return to Standby mode, indicating that the ESST feature is
functioning properly.
