1. PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
1.1 These Instructions for Use should be referred to for
details of the TD830 Electrosurgical Unit, REF 83-256-01,
83-257-02, 83-258-03, 83-259-04, 83-260-05, 83-261-01,
83-262-07, 83-263-08, and 83-264-09 (serial number
A9B0000 or above).
1.2 Within the text of this manual the term ‘coag’ is used
as a common abbreviation of the term ‘coagulation’.
1.3 Carefully remove the TD830 Electrosurgical Unit and
its associated accessories from the packing case(s).
1.4 Place the TD830 Electrosurgical Unit on a stable
convenient working platform, for example on the Eschmann
ST80 mobile trolley, purpose built for carrying
electrosurgical units.
1.5 The TD830 Electrosurgical Unit requires a mains
electrical supply corresponding to the voltage shown on
the electrical rating plate at the rear of the unit. Only use
the mains supply cable supplied. If the plug supplied pre-
fitted is not suitable it should be replaced with a suitable
plug with protective earthing contact.
1.6 If the plug is a fused type, a 10A fuse must be fitted.
CAUTION
It is most important that fuses of the correct
type, size and rating are installed (see Technical
Data).
CAUTION
Read these ‘Instructions for use’ carefully
before using this electrosurgical unit and note
ALL of the warnings, cautions and safety notes
contained within. Keep these ‘Instructions for
use’ close-to-hand at all times for reference.
Please note that Fig. 11 at the end of this manual
opens out so that it can be refered to easily whilst
reading this manual. It is the main figure
identifying the various parts of the TD830
Electosurgical Unit.
1.7 Ensure that the unit ‘mains’ switch (42 of Fig. 11) is
in the ‘O’ position and that the output controls are set to
minimum before connecting to, and switching ‘on’, the
mains supply. Acomplete systems check must be carried
out before using the Electrosurgery Unit (see Sections 5.10
to 5.17).
1.8 Instruction and Service Manuals should be readily
accessible for reference prior to and when operating,
cleaning and servicing the TD830 Electrosurgical Unit. All
manuals are available from Eschmann Equipment, see
inside front cover for address details.

ELECTROSURGICAL UNIT
2. 0 TECHNICAL DATA
GENERAL
The TD830 Electrosurgical Unit (or Surgical Diathermy
Unit) is classified as ‘HF surgical equipment’ 1
1- ‘HF surgical equipment’ is defined as, “Medical
electrical equipment including its associated accessories
intended for the performance of surgical operations, such as
the ‘cutting’ 2or ‘coagulation’ 3 of biological tissue by means of
high frequency (h.f.) currents”.
2- ‘Cutting’ is defined as, “Resection or dissection of body
tissue caused by the passage of high frequency current of high
current density at the active electrode(s)”.
3- ‘Coagulation’ is defined as, “Sealing of small blood
vessels or of body tissue caused by the passage of high
frequency current at the active electrode(s)”.
