INSULATION TESTING ON LAPAROSCOPIC INSTRUMENTS
1. INSERT A SPONGE (CHOOSE SPONGE TO BE USED BY INSTRUMENT SHAFT DIAMETER, SIZE TO BE TESTED 3MM DIAMETER, (C1),
5MM DIAMETER, (C2), 10MM DIAMETER, (C3), INTO THE TEST ELECTRODE (2) BY PRESSING THE MIDDLE PART OF THE
ELECTRODE, USING THE THUMB AND THE INDEX FINGER, CENTER THE SPONGE AND RELEASE PRESSURE ON ELECTRODE SHAFT.
2. THOROUGHLY MOISTEN THE SPONGE WITH SALINE (SUGGESTED) OR DISTILLED WATER (SQUEEZE OUT EXCESS WATER). NOTE:
IFUSED IN STERILE FIELD, FLUIDS SPONGE, ELECTRODE MUST BE STERILIZED AND FLUIDS USED MUST BE STERILE.
3. INSERT THE INSULATION TEST ELECTRODE (2) INTO SOCKET (B) LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SOCKET BAR.
TESTING SHAFT INSULATION ONLY
1. ATTACH CABLE (1) FEMALE BANANA PLUG OF THE INSTRUMENT RF-POST. PLUG MALE BANANA PLUG INTO SOCKET (A) ON THE
TEST UNIT.
2. HOLD INSTRUMENT AT HANDLE, ACTIVATE FOOTSWITCH ON UNIT—INSERT TIP OF INSTRUMENT INTO SPONGE HOLDER, SLOWLY
PUSH INSTRUMENT SHAFT ALL THE WAY TOWARDS THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY. IFADEFECT IS FOUND ON THE SHAFT INSULATION
ON THE UNIT ALARM LIGHT AND BUZZER WILL SOUND ALERTING USER OF THE DEFECT.
3. DOAPHYSICAL INSPECTION OF THIS AREA TO CONFIRM AND REPAIR INSTRUMENT AS NECESSARY BEFORE USING IT IN A
SURGICAL PROCEDURE.
TESTING SHAFT AND HANDLE INSULATION
LAPAROSCOPIC INSTRUMENT
1. ATTACH CABLE (1) FEMALE BANANA PLUG TO INSTRUMENT RF–POST. PLUG MALE BANANA PLUG INTO SOCKET (A) ON THE
TEST UNIT.
2. PLUG IN INSULATED TEST ELECTRODE HANDLE (3) INTO SOCKET (B) ON UNIT. INSERT INSULATION TEST ELECTRODE (2) INTO
INSULATED TEST ELECTRODE HANDLE (3). INSERT ASPONGE INTO THE TEST ELECTRODE WITH ABOUT ¼” OF THE SPONGE
STICKING OUT ON TOP.
3. THOROUGHLY MOISTEN SPONGE WITH SALINE (SUGGESTED) OR DISTILLED WATER (SQUEEZE OUT EXCESS WATER).
4. HOLD THE INSTRUMENT AT THE HANDLE IN ONE HAND AND WITH THE OTHER HAND HOLD THE INSULATED TEST ELECTRODE
HANDLE. WITH THE UNIT TURNED ON, ACTIVATE THE FOOTSWITCH AND SWIPE THE UPPER PART OF THE SPONGE ALONG ALL
PARTS OF THE SHAFT. IFTHERE IS AN INSULATION FAILURE THE FAILURE LIGHT AND ALARM WILL ACTIVATE.
5. PROCEED TO WIPE DOWN THE HANDLE IN THE SAME FASHION. IFTHERE IS AN INSULATION FAILURE THE ALARM WILL
ACTIVATE WHEN THE DEFECTIVE SPOT IS TOUCHED.
6. DOAPHYSICAL INSPECTION OF THIS AREA TO CONFIRM FAILURE AND REPAIR INSTRUMENT AS NECESSARY BEFORE USING IT IN
ASURGICAL PROCEDURE.
INSULATION TESTING ON MONOPOLAR + BIPOLAR FORCEPS
MONOPOLAR FORCEPS
1. CONNECT THE ALLIGATOR CLIP (4) TO THE FEMALE END OF THE TEST CABLE (1). PLUG THE MALE END OF THE CABLE INTO THE
SOCKET (A). CLIP THE ALLIGATOR CLIP TO EXPOSED METAL ON THE FORCEPS TO BE TESTED. CONNECT INSULATED TEST
HANDLE (3) TO SOCKET (B) OF THE UNIT AND INSERT INSULATION TEST ELECTRODE (2) INTO HANDLE (3). INSERT ASPONGE OF
THE APPROPRIATE SIZE WITH ¼” STICKING OUT ON THE TOP AND MOISTENED IT WITH SALINE OR DISTILLED WATER (SQUEEZE
OUT EXCESS WATER).
2. HOLD THE FORCEPS IN ONE HAND AND THE INSULATED TEST IN THE OTHER. ACTIVATE THE FOOTSWITCH AND WITH THE UPPER
PART OF THE SPONGE, SWIPE ALL INSULATED PARTS OF THE FORCEPS.
3. IFAN INSULATION FAILURE IS DETECTED THE FAILURE LIGHT AND AUDIBLE ALARM WILL ACTIVATE. CONFIRM FAILURE WITH
PHYSICAL INSPECTION OF THE AREA AND PERFORM NECESSARY REPAIRS BEFORE USING THE INSTRUMENT IN ASURGICAL
PROCEDURE.

BIPOLAR FORCEPS
1. THE SET UP OF THE UNIT AND ACCESSORIES IS THE SAME AS TESTING MONOPOLAR FORCEPS. CONNECT THE ALLIGATOR CLIP TO
ONE TIP OF THE FORCEPS.
2. WITH THE FORCEPS IN ONE HAND AND THE INSULATED TEST HANDLE (3) IN THE OTHER, ACTIVATE THE FOOTSWITCH AND WITH
THE UPPER PART OF THE SPONGE SWIPE THE INSULATION ON THE ONE SHANK WHERE THE CLIP IS CONNECTED. IFAN
INSULATION FAILURE IS DETECTED AND THE ALARM IS ACTIVATED, CONFIRM THE INSULATION DAMAGE WITH APHYSICAL
INSPECTION AND PROCEED WITH THE NECESSARY REPAIRS BEFORE USING ITIN SURGICAL PROCEDURES.
3. IFNO LARM SOUNDS, PROCEED TO THE SECOND SHANK OF THE FORCEPS, CLIP THE ALLIGATOR CLIP ON THE TIP AND PERFORM
THE PREVIOUS STEPS.
NOTE: THE SAME TEST PROCEDURE CAN BE USED ON ANY INSULATED INSTRUMENT WITH THE UNIT SET UP AS
DESCRIBED ABOVE.
IMPORTANT
WHEN PERFORMING ALL TESTS AND THE UNIT IS ACTIVATED, DO NOT COME INTO CONTACT (PHYSICALLY) WITH ANY PART OF THE
INSTRUMENT THAT IS NOT INSULATED.
MONOPOLAR & BIPOLAR CABLE TESTING
IMPORTANT:VISUALLY INSPECT THE CABLE FOR NICKS AND CUTS OR FRAYING OF THE INSULATION, MAKING SURE PLUGS ARE TIGHT
ON THE CABLE AND IN THE PROPER WORKING ORDER.
MONOPOLAR CABLE TEST
1. TURN THE POWER SWITCH ON.
2. DEPENDING ON THE CABLES TO BE TESTED, ONE SIDE OF THE CABLE HAS TO BE PLUGGED INTO SOCKET (C) AND THE OTHER
END INTO SOCKET (D) OR (E) OF THE UNIT. IFTHE FULL CURRENT FLOW IS ACHIEVED THE GREEN LIGHT AND SOUND WILL
ACTIVATE INDICATING THE CABLE IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.
NOTE: IFTHE CABLE BEING TESTED DOES NOT HAVE EITHER AMALE OR FEMALE INSTRUMENT PLUG, THE TEST CAN BE COMPLETED
BY TOUCHING THE INSIDE METAL CONNECTOR TO THE 4MM MALE/MALE ADAPTER PLUG (5) INSERTED INTO THE SOCKET (E) ON
THE TEST UNIT.
BIPOLAR CABLE TEST
1. TURN ON THE POWER SWITCH
2. PLUG IN THE UNIT SIDE (USUALLY 2 MALE BANANA PLUGS) OF THE CABLE INTO THE CABLE ADAPTER (6). THE CABLE ADAPTER
(6) NEEDS TO BE PLUGGED INTO THE SOCKET (F) OF THE UNIT. IFYOUR BIPOLAR CABLE HAS THE EUROPEAN STYLE UNIT PLUG
YOU CAN CONNECT IT DIRECTLY TO THE SOCKET (F) WITHOUT CABLE ADAPTER (6).
3. PLUG IN THE INSTRUMENT SIDE PLUG OF THE CABLE INTO ONE OF THE TERMINAL PLUGS ON THE
a. TESTER TERMINAL BAR (G).
b. TESTER TERMINAL BAR 2 PIN PLUG (H)
c. TESTER TERMINAL BAR SQUARE DIN PLUG (I)
d. TESTER TERMINAL BAR WOLF/STORZ/ELMED LAP BIPOLAR FORCEPS PLUG (J)
4. IFTHE CURRENT FLOW IS ACHIEVED THE GREEN LIGHT AND SOUND WILL ACTIVATE, INDICATING THE CABLE IS IN GOOD
WORKING ORDER.
MONOPOLAR FORCEPS TEST
1. TURN ON POWER SWITCH
2. WITH THE PROPER CABLE CONNECTED TO THE FORCEPS, PLUG IN THE CABLE INTO SOCKET (C) AND TOUCH THE TIP OF THE
FORCEPS TO SOCKET (D) ON THE TERMINAL BAR.
3. IFTHE PROPER CURRENT FLOW IS ACHIEVED THE GREEN LIGHT AND AUDIBLE SOUND INDICATOR WILL ACTIVATE INDICATING
THE FORCEPS AND CABLE ARE WORKING WITH REGARDS TO CURRENT FLOW.
BIPOLAR FORCEPS TEST
1. TURN ON THE POWER SWITCH
2. WITH THE PROPER CABLE CONNECTED TO THE FORCEPS DEPENDING ON THE CABLE UNIT CONNECTOR PLUG IN DIRECTLY OR
WITH CABLE CONNECTOR (6) INTO SOCKET (F) ON THE TEST UNIT. TOUCH THE DIN PLUG WITH THE FORCEPS END.
3. IFPROPER CURRENT FLOW IS ACHIEVED THE GREEN LIGHT AND AUDIBLE SOUND INDICATOR WILL ACTIVATE INDICATING THE
FORCEPS AND CABLE IS WORKING WITH REGARD TO CURRENT FLOW.
4. USING THE SAME TEST PROCEDURE THE TEST CAN BE PERFORMED ON MONOPOLAR AND BIPOLAR LAPAROSCOPIC HAND
INSTRUMENTS INCLUDING THE KLEPPINGER TYPE FORCEPS.
