is lit green and that the start up tone cycle is completed correctly. If this does not occur then consult the trouble-
shooting section (Chapter 6).
Warnings and Cautions
Ensure that the Ultravision
Failure to do so may damage the Mains Converter and equipment.
Do not use the Mains Converter to power equipment other than the Ultravision Generator. This may damage the Mains Con-
verter and equipment.
Do not use any other third party Power Supply including the Battery Charging Station Power Supply to power the Ultravision
Mains Converter. This may cause damage to the Ultravision generator and the third party power supply. The operator is also
at risk of electrostatic shock or burn, due to charge build up in external capacitances.
Do not mechanically shock or drop a Mains Converter. This may damage or reduce the life of the Mains Converter.
Do not hold or suspend the Mains Converter or its power supply by its cable – this may damage the equipment.
Preparing Ultravision™ for use - Instruments requiring a patient return electrode
Before use, confirm that the following components are available:
• Ultravision generator with the mains converter or an adequately charged battery
• Patient return electrode with "international" style connector: solid or split type
• Correct Ultravision Patient Return Adaptor: solid or split
• Electrosurgical generator unit compatible with the patient return electrode Set up the system as follows:
1. Connect the patient return electrode to the patient using standard surgical practice. Either solid or split variants
may be used.
2. Connect the patient return electrode to the patient return adaptor. Select the solid patient return adaptor for use
with a solid return electrode. Select a split plate adaptor for use with a split plate.
3. Connect the patient return adaptor end (BLUE – solid plate; RED – split plate) to the electrosurgical generator.
4. Switch on the electrosurgical generator and ensure that the patient return path is recognised by the electrosurgi-
cal generator.
5. Connect the other end of the patient return adaptor (ORANGE) to the Ultravision generator. The connector must
be inserted in the correct orientation.
If the electrosurgical generator does not recognise the return electrode when using the patient return adaptor, follow the
following procedure:
• Attach the patient return electrode directly into the electrosurgical generator. If this resolves the problem the pa-
tient return adaptor is worn and should be replaced.
• If this does not resolve the problem then replace the patient return electrode and repeat steps 1-4 above.
• If this does not resolve the problem then there is a problem with the electrosurgical generator.
Warnings and Cautions
Ensure that the selected patient return adaptor (solid or split) matches the patient return electrode that is attached to the
patient. The patient return adaptor allows a solid patient return electrode to be inserted into a split patient return adaptor.
Incorrect use may bypass any return pad sensing functionality of the electrosurgical generator.
Ensure that the Ultravision Patient Return Adaptor is used in the correct orientation.
Advice
If the surgical procedure may require both instrument types i.e. those that require a return pathway (e.g. monopolar) and
those that do not (e.g. bipolar or ultrasonic) it is recommended that the system is set up in this way. This avoids the need to
delay the procedure whilst reconfiguring Ultravision so that it can share the same patient return electrode.
The Ultravision system has been verified to have no effect on the split plate patient return contact monitoring systems em-
ployed in the monopolar generators listed on page 27.
Preparing Ultravision™ for use – Instruments that do not require a patient return path
Before use, confirm that the following components are available:
• Ultravision generator with the mains converter or an adequately charged battery
Mains Converter is always inserted into the Ultravision Generator in the correct orientation.
