SECULIFEESXTRA
The SECULIFE ESXTRA Electrosurgical Analyzer is a high-accuracy True RMS RF Measurement system
designed to be used in the calibration and routine performance verification of Electrosurgical Generators.
It offers a higher degree of accuracy than previously attainable with conventional Electrosurgical Unit
Analyzer designs. The SECULIFE ES
XTRA provides an advanced low reactance internal load bank with a
range of 0 to 6400 ohms in 1 ohm increments. It is microprocessor based and utilizes a combination of
unique hardware and software to provide accurate and reliable test results, even from "noisy"
Electrosurgical Generator waveforms such as "Spray". The Patent Pending DFA® Technology utilized in
the SECULIFE ES
XTRA allows the system to aggressively digitize the complex RF waveforms produced
by Electrosurgical Generators, analyze each individual digital data point, and provide highly accurate
measurement results.
The SECULIFE ES
XTRA, unlike many conventional ESU Analyzers, has internal high voltage setup relays
to control the measurement path, allowing the user to switch between Power measurements, Leakage
measurements, REM/ARM/CQM testing, or even run an autosequence that could include any or all of
these tests - without even moving wires around!
The current transformer internal to the SECULIFE ES
XTRA senses the RF current flowing through the
internal test load and produces a ratiometric voltage which is digitized and analyzed by the
microprocessor. Combining the standard and low ranges of the SECULIFE ES
XTRA with the use of the
current transformer, the user has full control over the ability to get high accuracy and high resolution
readings from all types of Electrosurgical Generators.
The following are highlights of some of the main features:
• TRUE RMS READINGS USING DFA® TECHNOLOGY
