Electronic scalpel ME 411

The KLS Martin ME 411 Electrosurgical Unit: Precision and Reliability for Modern Surgery.

The KLS Martin ME 411 electronic scalpel sets a new standard in precision and versatility in electrosurgery. With its innovative design and advanced features, this device offers surgeons unparalleled control and performance for a wide range of surgical procedures.

One of the standout features of the ME 411 is its precise power dosing capability. In the lower output range, users can select the desired HF output power value in 1-watt steps, enabling incredibly accurate dosing for optimal surgical outcomes. As the power adjuster is rotated clockwise, output power increases on a non-linear, progressive basis, providing high power reserves in the upper power range. This unique power-range and performance characteristic make the ME 411 universally applicable across various surgical applications.

The ME 411 employs a sophisticated safety concept, with monitoring and control tasks shared by two microprocessors working in tandem. These two modules not only monitor each other but also provide the basis for Martin's highly advanced safety measures, ensuring the utmost safety for both patients and users during surgical procedures.

The device offers a range of cutting and coagulation modes to meet the specific needs of different surgical scenarios. It includes features such as spray coagulation, which is ideal for non-contact surface coagulation (fulguration) and useful for staunching micro-bleedings in tissue contact under liquid media, such as in transurethral resection (TUR) procedures.

For bipolar cutting, the ME 411 offers two distinct modes. Bipolar cutting 1 provides pure bipolar cutting current, suitable for use with sling-type electrodes, while Bipolar cutting 2 blends bipolar cutting current with coagulation current, ideal for use with electrosurgical forceps and other instruments.

Additionally, the ME 411 features automatic bipolar coagulation, designed to be used with bipolar tweezers or other bipolar instruments, ensuring efficient hemostasis and tissue sealing.

With its comprehensive range of features, precise control, and advanced safety measures, the KLS Martin ME 411 electronic scalpel is a valuable tool for surgeons seeking superior performance and reliability in electrosurgical procedures.

In addition, the Martin ME 411 features a versatile bipolar output port designed to serve as a multi-functional interface for connecting intelligent accessory equipment. This interface facilitates proper information transfer between the HF generator and the connected accessory part, enabling seamless integration and enhanced functionality. Furthermore, this interface is future-proof, accommodating potential advancements in accessory technology and ensuring long-term compatibility.

The ME 411 is equipped with a dual-pad neutral electrode and an integrated Martin Patient Control System (PCS) to ensure patient safety during surgical procedures. The PCS continuously monitors the neutral electrode for proper application, detecting any insufficient contact with the patient's skin. In the event of inadequate contact, the PCS promptly inhibits HF power and raises an alarm to alert the surgical team, preventing potential hazards before critical situations arise. Additionally, the system adheres to standards outlined in IEC 601-2-2, ensuring comprehensive monitoring of single-pad neutral electrodes for enhanced safety and reliability.

The Martin ME 411 goes above and beyond in ensuring patient safety by actively monitoring and controlling HF leakage currents, effectively mitigating the risks associated with accidental HF burns. This proactive approach to safety provides an additional layer of protection for patients undergoing surgical procedures.

Furthermore, the Martin ME 411 conducts a comprehensive power-on self-test routine each time the system is activated. In the event of any error or malfunction detected during this self-test, the HF power output is immediately blocked, and an error code is displayed, alerting the surgical team to the issue at hand. This built-in diagnostic feature enhances reliability and ensures prompt identification and resolution of potential issues, minimizing disruptions during surgery.

Moreover, the Martin ME 411 features a dynamic, self-adjusting power output control mechanism integrated into the system. This innovative technology automatically selects the most suitable operating point based on real-time feedback, ensuring optimal cutting results regardless of variations in tissue impedance or cutting speeds. By continuously adapting to changing surgical conditions, the ME 411 delivers consistent performance and precision, enhancing surgical outcomes and patient safety.
