2G3 WORKSTATION
The G3 WorkStation provides precise delivery and control of PK
Technology for head and neck surgical procedures. In addition
to PlasmaCision, the G3 supports TCRFTM (Temperature-
Controlled Radio Frequency) for the Somnoplasty procedures.
As a result, one technology platform can be used for a growing
variety of surgical procedures, providing enhanced value and
versatility, now and in the future.

G3 WORKSTATION PROCEDURE SETUP GUIDE
Using Temperature Controlled Radio Frequency (TCRF)
Initial Setup:
A Connect the power cord and footswitch on the rear panel of the WorkStation.
B Turn the machine on at the back of the unit.
C Press the Stand-By button on the center of the front panel (the “apple” switch).
D Place the grounding pad on the patient and connect the cord to the front of the
controller.
E CAREFULLY connect the handpiece (Green or Gray) cable to the front of the controller
(Use the green cable for turbinate, tonsil, and dual-channel tongue-base and the gray
cable for palate and single-channel tongue base).
F Set the temperature using arrows on the left side of the controller.
G Set the Joules using arrows on the right side of the controller.
H See the charts below for temperature and Joules settings for each procedure.
Rapid Lesion Mode:
A Press the temperature arrow until 85ºC is reached.
B Release and press once more to reach the RAPID LESION menu.
C The temperature is now set for rapid lesion.
D Maximum Joule output for single channel instruments using rapid lesion is 300.
E Maximum Joule output for dual channel instruments using rapid lesion is 600.
F Do not use rapid lesion for palate reduction.

Using Plasmacision
Initial Setup:
A Connect the power cord and footswitch on the rear panel of the WorkStation.
B Turn the machine on at the back of the unit.
C Press the Stand-By button on the center of the front panel (the “apple” switch).
D Connect the PlasmaKnife cable to the purple “PC” plug on at the far right side of
the G3 WorkStation.
E The WorkStation will automatically identify the PlasmaKnife and set the appropriate
default PlasmaBlend setting.
F To change the PlasmaBlend CUT/COAG ratio, press the BLACK mode foot pedal
for 1 second until a beep is heard.
G Press the YELLOW pedal to increase the cut component in 5% increments, or the
BLUE pedal to increase the COAG component in 5% increments.
H Press the BLACK mode foot pedal to select the new PlasmaBlend ratio.
I Alternatively, use the “up/down” PlasmaBlend buttons on the left side of G3
WorkStation to adjust the CUT/COAG to desired settings.
J Press YELLOW pedal for PlasmaBlend CUT output.
K Press BLUE pedal for COAG output.

Cleaning the cutting surface:
Keep the PlasmaKnife clean for optimum performance.•
Wipe the instrument tip frequently with a wet 4 x 4 gauze.•
Periodic dipping in a container of saline may help to keep the suction channel •
patent.
If the WorkStation gives a “clean tip” message; clean the instrument tip and reset •
the WorkStation by pressing the BLACK mode foot pedal.
