3 Warning and Safety Notes

There are parts inside the unit which are in direct contact to the power supply mains. Certain service operations at the units ME M1 and ME MB1 require the unit to be operated with opened case to perform measurements as well as alignments. Then the common safety rules are to be noted to avoid electric shock. The part of the HF generator PCB which is in contact to mains voltage is located at the rear left side of the board and is separated from the residual circuits by a mark. The insulation of the heatsink at the left side from mains voltage is not a safety insulation as described in the IEC 601 standard! There are capacitors in the input circuit of the SMPS which keep a voltage up to 20 Seconds after disconnection from mains, the level of which may cause electric shock on body contact. In the secondary circuit and at the HF generator, voltages are generated during operation with DC level up to 115 Volts and peak levels up to 800 Volts. Especially the big heatsink at the right Rev 1.1 4

Martin ME MB1 ME M1 Service Manual side of the board may have touchable high levels versus electronic ground level which may cause electric shock.

Rev 1.1

Martin ME MB1 ME M1 Service Manual It is the nature of an electrosurgery unit to generate high voltages of high frequency for dissection and coagulation of corporal tissue. Though body contact to such voltages does not result in electric shock, it may result in severe burns in a point even in case of unipolar contact because of HF leakage currents. Direct bipolar body contact of the HF current may result in severe injuries.

4.3 Properties and Handling

The front panels of the ME M1 and ME MB1 are designed in a manner that keeps visible the relationship to the other MARTIN units with their clearly and self-explaining arrangement. The ME M1 has two monopolar operation modes, the ME MB1 a third bipolar mode additionally. Power setting is performed by means of rotary knobs, where the set power increases approximately linear with the angle of turn. Each operation mode has its own power setting. The selection of a current mode within one operation mode is performed by lighted keys with mutual release of latch. Selection of a current mode is acknowledged by lighting of the operated key. The ME M1 has two monopolar cutting currents and two monopolar coagulation currents, additionally, the ME MB1 has one bipolar coagulation current. The first monopolar cutting current mode Monopolar Cutting 1" is intended for smooth as least as possible eschar forming cutting and will be selected by the first key. The second current mode Monopolar Cutting 2 for eschar forming cutting with simultaneous hemostasis will be selected by the second key. both keys are marked with the standard logos for smooth and eschar forming cutting. Both cutting current modes are suited for all surgical procedures inclusive urology. Contact Coagulation will be selected by operation of the left key in the section of the operation mode of monopolar coagulation. Spray Coagulation will be selected by operation of the right key with the standard logo for this kind of current. The HF output voltage in this current mode is exceptional high which results in a coagulation more confined to the tissue surface and is markedly different from the contact coagulation which acts rather into the depth. Spray coagulation can also be used in urologic procedures to stop bleedings with the resection loop of the resectoscope. Additionally, the ME MB1 has the current mode Bipolar Coagulation. This mode will be activated by the blue footswitch pedal for coagulation. For this purpose, the control path of the footswitch at the front panel must be set to bipolar operation mode with the footswitch key in the section of bipolar operation mode. If the footswitch shall activate monopolar coagulation again, the footswitch key in the monopolar coagulation section has to be operated before. Activation of an operation mode will be indicated by a light in the section of the front panel corresponding to this mode and by an acoustic signal. The loudness of this signal will increase after 15 Seconds of uninterrupted activation of one current mode. Because the uninterrupted activation tome of a current is shorter in general, this shall give a warning to the user about a probably unintended activation by inadvertently stepping at the footswitch or any fault with the unit or its accessory. The monopolar sockets for handpiece and neutral electrode connectors are recessed into the surface for touch proof.

Rev 1.1

Martin ME MB1 ME M1 Service Manual The units ME M1 and ME MB1 have a monitoring system for the neutral electrode which monitors unsectioned neutral electrodes for correct connection or cable faults as well as two-sectored neutral electrodes additional for correct application. Monitoring of correct application will be performed adaptive, i. e. the unit matches automatically to individual peculiarities of electrodes from different manufacturers as well as those of different patients. The phenomenon that alarm will not disappear or disappear after long time in one case and does not reappear though the electrode is peeled off of the skin for more than the half area in another case does not occur. The unit will recognize a single use electrode which is folded with the sections to each other or attached to a metal surface as faulty (impedance alarm). In case of alarm of not connected or insufficient applied neutral electrode the red light above the neutral electrode socket will blink. On attempt of activation of a monopolar operation mode an intermitting acoustic alarm signal will be audible. In case of impedance alarm, the blinking frequency of the red light will be half, so this kind of alarm can be distinguished from the other one which will be important for correct trouble shooting. In the alarm state, the activation of monopolar HF activation is disabled, however, bipolar activation is not affected by this. The units ME M1 and ME MB1 have a monopolar active electrode handle socket to which optional a handle with MARTIN coax connector or with a three-pin connector as is common in the US market may be plugged. Activation of HF current may be performed by the handle or by footswitch. There is a mutual latching of activation signals in a manner that in case of simultaneous operation of both finger switches or both footswitch pedals or of one finger switch together with one footswitch pedal none of both functions will be valid. Additional, the ME MB1 has a coax socket for connection of a MARTIN cable for instruments for bipolar coagulation. The mains socket for detachable mains cord together with the mains fuses is at the rear of the unit. The lighted mains switch is at the front. Setting of the unit to the mains voltage is performed at the manufacturers site, the setting is marked at the rear side. A later change to an other voltage can be done by use of another bridging plug inside the unit and exchange of the mains fuses. Additionally, at the rear side, there are an equipotential connector and an outlet for the acoustic signal as well as an alignment orifice for the basic loudness. The case is made from sheet steel and has no venting slots. It is located on four stands. For fixing the unit at a console, there are receptacles in the bottom which enable the click-on at ballpin bolts.

4.4 Mechanical Design Guideline for the design of the units ME M1 and ME MB1 have been an almost simple and clearly visible assembly to make service as easy as possible. The bottom part of the case serves as a rack which picks up the HF generator PCB, the mains inlet, the equipotential connector the sound transducer and the front part with handling elements and sockets. Rev 1.1 9

Martin ME MB1 ME M1 Service Manual The front part is placed in guiding grooves below and fixed in its position with two threaded bolts at the upper side. At this front part, the connection sockets are fixed with screws either direct or with means of flanges, the front PCB is fixed screwless by snap-in between elastic snap fixtures. At the front side, the top of the case is fixed in a groove in the front part, at the rear side it is fixed by four screws at its rim. The unit consists of the following components in which it can be dismantled easily without expense for service or demonstration purposes: Case bottom with threaded bolts for PCB mount, stands and type label Case top Mains socket with mains fuses Equipotential connector Sound transducer and loudness control subassembly Cable set for protective earth and equipotential conductors Connection cable for front PCB HF generator PCB front part, consisting of subassemblies as follows: Plastic mould with receptacles and two-parted front layout Front PCB with keys and lamps Two or three setpoint potentiometers with rotary knobs Mains switch with connection cable

4.5 Description of Circuit

The basic operation and the wiring of the ME M1 and ME MB1 is visible from the block diagram and the wiring diagram at the following pages. The units contain two PCBs. At the front PCB, there are the keys for selection of an operation mode and the indication lamps. The main PCB incorporates the power supplies, the HF generator, control and the patient circuits with their interface circuits. Power Supply

Rev 1.1

Martin ME MB1 ME M1 Service Manual The power supply consists of an auxiliary supply and the main supply for HF generator operation. The auxiliary supply voltage is generated by a mains transformer which is placed at the main PCB with consecuting SMPS for 15 Volts. From this 15 Volts supply, a 5V voltage controller is fed which serves as supply for the microcontroller and its peripherals. The mains transformer is protected by an integrated thermoswitch and additionally by a fuse F1 (315mA medium blow) at the primary side and by a fuse F2 (1.6A medium blow). On change to another mains voltage by exchange of the plug X6, the primary of this transformer will also be changed. The variable power supply voltage from 0V up to 115V to feed the HF generator will be generated by a primary-side switchmode power supply unit with half bridge topology. The output power of the HF generator will be controlled by the level of this DC voltage. The primary side protection of this SMPS is performed outside the main board with two slow blow fuses in the mains cord socket which form the protective fuses of the unit. The value of these fuses is 4A for the mains voltage range 220V - 240V and 8A for the range 100V - 127V. At the rear side of the unit is a mark which indicates the value of the applied fuse and to which mains voltage the unit is set. The change to another value of mains voltage will be performed by exchange of the plug X6. Warning! If the unit will be connected to 230V if it is set to 100V - 127V, this may cause damage to the SMPS! Control of the SMPS is performed by a SMPS controller at the secondary side which drives the transistors at the primary via pulse transformers. The operation frequency is about 100kHz. The power supply circuit contains a current limiter circuit which prevents damage caused by a shorted circuit in a fault condition. Please note that a part of the power board is connected to mains voltage directly. This area is placed at the rearmost left side of the board and is separated by a mark in the print. Design precautions provide that body contact to live parts is impeded, but generally it is possible. After switch-off of mains voltage, the capacitors at the rectifier lose their electric charge rather slowly, so they keep hazardous voltage after separation from mains for a longer period of time. HF Generator The HF generator is a switchmode amplifier which operates at fixed frequencies. It consists of a power stage which will be driven by a pulse pattern generator. Depending on the selected current mode, this pulse pattern generator generates the different signals for this current mode. Between the power stage and the output transformer, there is a matching circuit, the branches of which will be selected by relays corresponding to the selected current mode. With the ME MB1, the output signal of the power stage will be switched to a separate bipolar output transformer on activation of the current mode "bipolar coagulation".

Martin ME MB1 ME M1 Service Manual Setpoint Generator and Overdose Fault Monitor The required HF output power will be set by rotary potentiometers. Corresponding to the selected operation and current mode, the signal of one of these potentiometers will be selected, matched to the current mode and fed to the SMPS as its setpoint value. This analogous signal path control happens in the setpoint generator. To prevent that a fault in the setpoint generator will result in an overrated output power, all setpoint values in the units ME M1 and ME MB1 will be generated twice. While one of both values is fed to the SMPS as its setpoint value, the other value is fed to a monitoring circuit which compares it to the output value of the SMPS. If this circuit recognizes that both values differ too much, then it interrupts the energy flow path by cutting off the auxiliary energy which is used to drive the relays in the output circuit of the HF power stage which results in an interruption of the link between power stage and HF output transformers. Handpiece control circuit Activation of HF power may be performed optionally and in the same manner by footswitch or by an electrode handle with finger switches. Activation of HF power by means of finger switches at the electrode handle is enabled by an interface circuit which transfers the control signals by means of special optocouplers over the required insulation barrier according to the IEC 601 standard. For the transfer of two signals over a twin wire line, an encoding of current direction is performed in the handle which has to be decoded in the interface circuit by two signal paths with counterwise current direction permittivity. To keep compatibility to the three-pin connectors as known from the US market, the encoding for this connectors has to be performed subsequent in the unit. The power supply of this circuit is performed by a small converter, the output voltage of which will be transferred over the insulation barrier by means of a transformer.

Neutral Electrode Monitoring The units ME M1 and ME MB1 are able to monitor a neutral electrode for correct connection. For this purpose, the neutral electrode will be connected to the unit with a cord with two wires to which the current returning to the unit will be divided. These two wires may be linked either together to a single-plated electrode or to both of the sections of a split-plated neutral electrode. Monitoring of the neutral electrode is performed by monitoring the impedance between both of these wires. With single-plated electrodes, a monitoring of connection of the electrode and of non-interruption of the cord is possible, with spliced electrodes an additionally monitoring of correct application at the patient which is part of the monitoring circuit in this case is possible. The units need not to be set to the electrode type being used.

Martin ME MB1 ME M1 Service Manual Controller The ME M1 has a HF generator for monopolar operation mode which is controlled central by a microcontroller system. With the ME MB1, the generator may be switched to bipolar operation mode. The controller performs the functions as follows: Self test of the program memory and the peripherals Input of front key operation Permanent memory of front key settings Management of finger and footswitch signals Co-ordination of control signals Activation of HF generator Control of pulse pattern generation Selection of operation mode of HF generator Activation of the relays for current mode selection Control of indication lamps for activation and NE alarm Adaptive neutral electrode monitoring Activation of acoustic alarm signal Besides the microcontroller, the activation of HF current has to be permitted by a parallel installed circuit which is independent from the microcontroller system.

Safety Functions Because a HF electrosurgery unit imposes input of energy to a patient treated with it, there is generally a hazard for the patient, if this input of energy occurs without control. So there is a requirement for minimizing this hazard to an acceptable low level by means of appropriate design precautions as far as this is manageable from the unit's side.

Rev 1.1

16

Martin ME MB1 ME M1 Service Manual From the unit's side, the fault conditions as follows shall be recocnized and managed: Unintended activation of HF power output Output power at a higher dose than set with the ME M1 and ME MB1, there are a number of design precautions made to meet both of this aspects. An unintended activation may occur in three ways:

Unintended operation of a finger or footswitch, this also means "jamming" after intended
operation as a consequence of a fault of an activation element. Unintended activation as a consequence of a fault in the control signal path of the external accessory. Unintended activation as a consequence of a fault in the inner signal path of the unit. The first item cannot be recognized reliably by devices incorporated into the unit. A technical unit is not able to make a decision whether an operation of a switch by an external force was intended by the user or not. Also, a technical unit does not differ between an intended operation of a switch and a short of the cable or a rupture of a reset spring in the switch. So, with this safety aspect the user has to be involved in the decision whether this is a case of fault or not. Commonly HF electrosurgery units have an acoustic activation indicator which enables the user to recognize also an unintended activation of power. So the safety problem is focused to the reliability of this acoustic indicator. At the ME M1 and ME MB1, the acoustic signal is generated by a programmable sound generator. Activation of this sound generator can be performed either by the control or by a direct signal of the HF power stage. In case of unusual long activation time (more than 15 Seconds) the loudness of the activation signal rises because this may be a fault condition. A check of the function of the activation signal is to be performed by the user before each use of the unit. In case that an activation key is operated before the unit is switched on, Hf output power is disabled because this condition may occur if faulty accessory is connected to the unit.

Rev 1.1

17

Martin ME MB1 ME M1 Service Manual The occurrence of overrated output power may be caused by faults as follows: Fault at one of the setpoint potentiometers or its connection cables Fault in the analogous signal path for SMPS output control Fault in the regulator circuit of the SMPS

The occurrence of one of this three faults would result in an output power which is not in accordance with the setting of the rotary knob. There is an overdose protection circuit incorporated into the ME M1 and ME MB1 to prevent this. By use of double potentiometers, the setpoint value of each operation mode is present twice. The signal paths of both setpoint values are separated from each other. One out of both (identical) setpoint values will be fed to the SMPS as control voltage. The output voltage of the SMPS will be compared with the second setpoint value. Beyond a certain difference, the output power will be disabled. The compare circuit is designed in a manner that its failure will result in a disabling of output power. This protection circuit acts both at the controller system and directly at the current mode relays K1 to K4. The controller system performs a self check on power-on of the unit. A fault in the HF power stage and its HF output circuit cannot result in an increased power output because there is no additional feed of energy to this parts of the circuitry.

If fuse F1 or F2 blows again immediately after exchange, then exchange HF generator board. Secondary fuse F2 of the Check for proper marking of auxiliary mains transformer is mains voltage at the unit's rear blown side. Check fuse F2 inside the unit and replace if needed. If fuse F2 or F1 blows again immediately after exchange, then exchange HF generator board. Fault of the HF generator Exchange HF generator board

8. Alterations
8.1 Procedure
As experience shows, during their sales lifetime technical products undergo repeated technical alterations due to steady product improvements. To the service this imposes the problem of having several versions of the same type of unit and prior to each repair it must be clarified which version is present. Prior to any manipulation of the unit it is necessary to know the state of the version! With the units ME M1 and ME MB1, this is indicated in the serial number: ME MB1 XX XX XX XXXX Type of unit Hardware state Software state Year of production Consecutive numbering

8.2 Hardware State

The hardware state is defined by: Revision state of boards Revision state of mechanical construction Revision state of alignments The boards are equipped with two labels. One of the labels contains the manufacturer's identity number C40-XXXX and a consecutive test number with signature or identity number of the tester. The second label indicates the state of revision. If such a revision is present in the market, it will be concern of the following items. If such a board will be repaired at the manufacturer's site, it will get a third "repair" label. If possible, such boards will be updated to the actual state of revision and, after complete test procedure, will be used for repairs as exchange boards. If it has the same MARTIN ordering code as the old part according to item 5.1, a board with a higher state of revision may replace a board of lower state of revision (stepdown compatibility). Vice versa, this is generally not valid! Rev 1.1 43

Martin ME MB1 ME M1 Service Manual What makes the difference between new revisions and their predecessors and which compatibilities are valid will be explained in the items corresponding to the different configurations. On release of a new revision, a description of the new configuration will be created and distributed by the MARTIN Service Center by the same way like this service documentation.

8.3 Software State

The operation codes and the tables for both of this microcontrollers are stored in the EPROMs which are incorporated in these controllers. They are labelled as follows: X.XX MB1 DXX State of program Membership of ME units Distinction D10, D19 The program state designates the version of the operation code. The last two of three digits form a continuing number which designates a stepdown-compatible revision while the first digit is associated to the hardware configuration. On an software exchange, absolute care must be taken that this first digit is identical to that of the replaced one. If this digit would be incremented, then both of the following ones will be reset to zero. There are no different program versions for ME M1 and ME MB1, the ME M1 will be equipped with the same controllers as the ME MB1. The units ME M1 and ME MB1 have two independent carriers of software D10 and D19. While D10 performs the control functions, D19 generates the optical and acoustic activation and alarm signals and supports safety monitoring functions of the unit. In contrast to other ME units, the program versions of both software carriers may be different. The software version marked in the serial number determines a combination of both software carrier versions. On exchange of a software carrier for software updating, please note that the first digit of the software version will be kept the same and that both of the further digits form a number which shall not be less than that of the former software carrier.
