BOVIE IDS-210
IDS-210 ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATOR

Description
The Bovie IDS-210 is a 200 watt high power, operating room generator, by Bovie®. The unit incorporates the power and safety of a premium OR generator at a significant savings to the medical facility. The system delivers 12 monopolar and bipolar RF energy modalities to provide a high level of surgical precision. Engineered with the safety of the patient in mind, the Bovie IDS-210 includes technology such as Bovie NEM™ return split pad contact quality monitoring, Bovie FDFS™ tissue sensing technology, self-test circuits, as well as specialized modalities for laparoscopic and delicate procedures. The Bovie IDS-210 is supported by Bovie’s unprecedented 4 year standard warranty.
OVERVIEW
TWO CUT MODES — CUT I & CUT II
Two cut modes give the surgeon flexibility to cut all types of tissue without losing performance.
Cut I generates constant output power over a wide range of impedances.
Cut II is a softer cut that generates constant output power with a lower voltage over a small range of impedances suggested for laparoscopic procedures.
FOUR LEVELS OF BLEND
The Blend mode is a combination of cutting and hemostasis. The IDS-210 gives the surgeon freedom to adjust the desired level of hemostasis. A level setting of 1 is minimal blend with maximum cutting effect. A level setting of 4 is maximum hemostasis (blend) with minimal cutting effect. This adjustment is easily achieved by a incremental 4-level adjustment. The Blend mode improves the rate of targeted tissue desiccation without increasing the power delivered by the generator.
THREE COAGULATION MODES — PINPOINT, SPRAY AND GENTLE COAGULATION
– Pinpoint provides precise control of bleeding in localized areas.
– Spray provides greater control of bleeding in highly vascular tissue over broad surface areas.
– Gentle provides a more intense coagulation than in other modes. For instance, when Coagulation is necessary in short amounts of time, reduced electrode carbonization is provided.
THREE BIPOLAR MODES — MACRO, MICRO AND STANDARD
– Macro Bipolar Mode provides delicate Bipolar coagulation effects to prevent tip tissue adhesion and carbonization.
– Micro Bipolar Mode provides precise Bipolar coagulation effects.
– Standard Bipolar Mode provides power for conventional Bipolar output.
PRESETS
The surgeon can store 10 user-defined RF presets for easy recall of frequently used settings.
RETURN ELECTRODE SENSING AND CONTACT QUALITY MONITORING
The IDS-210 incorporates a return electrode contact quality monitoring system (Bovie NEM™). This system detects the type of return electrode: solid or split. The system also continually monitors the contact quality between the patient and the split return electrode (recommended). This feature is designed to minimize patient burns at the return electrode site.
FDSF™ (Fast Digital Feedback System)
The FDFS™ (Fast Digital Feedback System) measures voltage and current at 5,000 times a second and immediately adjusts the power to varying impedance during the electrosurgical procedure. The unit’s digital technology senses and responds to changes in tissue density. Unlike analog, this feature reduces the need to adjust power settings manually with varying tissue impedance.
THREE FRONT PANEL ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS AND TWO REAR PANEL FOOTSWITCH CONNECTIONS
These connectors accept the latest monopolar and bipolar instruments. Monopolar 1 connector accepts a standard 3-pin monopolar connector or adaptor (A1255A) for foot-controlled accessories. Monopolar 2 connector accepts a standard 3-pin monopolar connector for connecting standard monopoly accessories to the generator. The front panel also allows for a standard Bipolar accessory.
The rear panel monopolar footswitch connector accepts a Bovie® Monopolar Footswitch (BV-1253B). The rear panel bipolar footswitch connector accepts a Bovie® Bipolar Footswitch (BV-1254B).

ENERGY SETTINGS
CUT
Cut I
A general cutting with a standard RF waveform used in open and endoscopic surgical procedure, Cut I is for use in a wide range of tissue with minimal hemostasis.
Cut II
Tailored specifically for Laparoscopic procedures, Cut II offers a precisely managed cutting energy that limits output for the minimizing of the potential risk of capacitive coupling and alternate site burns due to weakened insulation.
Blend (Level 1, 2, 3 & 4)
Blended cutting offers varying levels of hemostasis during a cut procedure providing increased control of bleeding at the surgical application site.
- Level 1: 75% Duty Cycle
- Level 2: 62.5% Duty Cycle
- Level 3: 50% Duty Cycle
- Level 4: 37.5% Duty Cycle

COAGULATION
Pinpoint
A general coagulation mode delivering rapid desiccation effects with minimal tissue damage.
Spray
Recommended for hemostasis in highly vascular or large surface areas and for non-contact tissue coagulation to control superficial bleeding. Spray mode permits dual, simultaneous activation of two monopolar accessories with audible dual activation tone alert.
Gentle
Gentle mode offers more concentrated coagulation than in other modes. For instance, when coagulation is necessary in short amounts of time, reduced electrode carbonization is provided.

BIPOLAR
Macro
Intense bipolar output allowing for aggressive coagulation, with cut-like effects over a wide range of tissue.
Micro
Fine bipolar coagulation for use in extremely gentle and precise surgical applications.Standard – Bipolar coagulation which gently coagulates tissue for minimal tissue damage reducing carbonization and sticking.
Standard
Bipolar coagulation which gently coagulates tissue for minimal tissue damage reducing carbonization and sticking.
