Practical Suggestions; Cleaning The Leep System 1000 ® Electrosurgical Generator And Smoke Evacuator - Cooper Surgical LEEP System 1000 Manuel D'utilisation

Section 11 Practical Suggestions
To optimize the performance when using an electrosurgical unit, the active electrode must be kept clean and
use the lowest possible power setting required. Some sparks or superficial carbonization of the tissue may
occur and the delivered power may decrease as a result of the electrical insulation caused by the tissue
charring.
Too high of a power setting results in a shorter surgical procedure, but may cause discharges and/or
superficial carbonization, sparking, arcs, etc.
Section 12 Cleaning the LEEP System 1000
Generator and Smoke Evacuator
LEEP System 1000 Electrosurgical Generator: The Electrosurgical Generator may be cleaned with mild
soap solution – but be sure that fluid does not enter the system. Wipe dry.
Smoke Evacuator: The outside of the Smoke Evacuator may be cleaned as necessary with a soft cloth
dampened (not wet) with isopropyl alcohol. Just as for the Electrosurgical Generator, do not allow liquid
to get inside of the unit.
Section 13 Troubleshooting
In the event of a failure during SELF-TEST, the display will show one of the error codes listed below:

A. If upon completion of Self-Test the Electrosurgical Generator display reads Er0, Er1, Er2, Er3, Er5, Er6
or Er7, it must be returned to CooperSurgical for repair (refer to Section 15).
B. If upon completion of Self-Test or before, if the Electrosurgical Generator stops functioning and the
display reads nP and the red warning light is on, check the Dispersive Patient Plate to ensure that it
is properly connected to the Electrosurgical Generator.
C. If, following correct set-up of the system, it does not operate, works in an intermittent way, or stops
working after a few seconds (without an audible signal), check for correct connection of pedal and its
condition. The pedal is pneumatic, so even a slight leak can cause a performance problem.
