OLYMPUS MH-969 Active, Monopolar, ESU, Electrosurgica


The Olympus MH-969 is a monopolar electrosurgical unit (ESU), and it typically requires a high-frequency (HF) cord/cable to connect the electrosurgical generator to the active electrode. Here’s a breakdown of relevant information regarding the MH-969 and its associated high-frequency cord/cable:

Key Features of Olympus MH-969 ESU

  1. Monopolar Functionality:

    • Designed for cutting and coagulating tissue during surgical procedures.
    • Utilizes a single active electrode that delivers high-frequency electrical current.
  2. User Controls:

    • Allows for variable power settings, enabling surgeons to adjust the output based on the procedure and tissue type.
    • May include features like auto-cut and blend modes for optimized cutting and coagulation.
  3. Safety Mechanisms:

    • Equipped with safety features to prevent excessive current flow and overheating, protecting both the patient and the surgical team.
  4. Durability and Reliability:

    • Designed for high-performance and longevity, suitable for continuous use in operating rooms.

High-Frequency (HF) Cord/Cable

  • Purpose: The HF cord/cable connects the electrosurgical generator (like the MH-969) to the electrosurgical instruments (e.g., monopolar electrodes).
  • OEM Quality: Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) cables are recommended for optimal performance and safety. They are designed specifically for use with the MH-969, ensuring compatibility and reliability.
  • Specifications:
    • Ensure that the cable is rated for high-frequency use and meets any necessary safety standards.
    • Check for features such as length, flexibility, and insulation quality to ensure ease of use during surgical procedures.

Applications

The Olympus MH-969 and its associated HF cord/cable are used in various surgical fields, including:

  • General Surgery
  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Dermatology

Maintenance Tips

  1. Regular Inspection: Inspect the HF cord/cable for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage before each use.
  2. Cleaning: Follow manufacturer guidelines for cleaning the cable, especially after exposure to biological fluids.
  3. Proper Storage: Store the cable in a safe, dry place to avoid damage and ensure longevity.
