The METRON QA-ES Electrosurgical Analyzer (QA-ES) is a precision instrument designed to perform tests on high-frequency electrosurgical units (ESU) in accordance with national and international standards, and is designed to be used by trained service technicians. Tests include: automatic power distribution measurement; crest factor measurement; RF leak measurement, and; return electrode monitor (REM) test Testing is accomplished by measuring the ESU output against test loads that are set and adjusted in the QA-ES. The QA-ES can automatically execute a power distribution test with a load resistance ranging from 10 ohms to a maximum of 5200 ohms. The automatic measuring of the QA-ES, comprising crest factor measurements with a bandwidth of 10 MHz, ensures that the test result is reliable and reproducible. Test results, shown in the QA-ES’s LCD display, can be printed out directly, or transferred to a PC via the PRO-Soft QA-ES test automation software. PRO-Soft lets you design test protocols, remotely control the QA-ES, and store the test results.
