Fire / Explosion Hazards WARNINGS Explosion Hazard – Do not install the generator in the presence of flammable anesthetics, gases, liquids, or objects. Fire Hazard – Do not place active accessories near or in contact with flammable materials (such as gauze or surgical drapes). Electrosurgical accessories that are activated or hot from use can cause a fire. Use a holster to hold electrosurgical accessories safely away from personnel and flammable materials. Fire Hazard – Do not use extension cords. Fire Hazard – For continued protection against fire hazard, replace fuses only with fuses of the same type and rating as the original fuse.
Generator Electric Shock Hazards WARNINGS Connect the generator power cord to a properly grounded receptacle. Do not use power plug adapters. To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with protective earth. Connect the power cord to a properly polarized and grounded power source with the frequency and voltage characteristics that match those listed on the back of the unit. Disconnect power cord from power source to isolate the internal circuits from the supply mains. Do not connect a wet power cord to the generator or to the wall receptacle. To allow stored energy to dissipate after power is disconnected (caps discharge) wait at least five minutes before replacing parts. Always turn off and unplug the generator before cleaning. Do not touch any exposed wiring or conductive surfaces while the generator is disassembled and energized. Never wear a grounding strap when working on an energized generator. When taking troubleshooting measurements use appropriate precautions such as using isolated tools and equipment, using the “one hand rule,” etc. Potentially lethal AC and DC voltages are present in the AC line circuitry, high voltage DC circuitry, and associated mounting and heat sink hardware described in this manual. These potentials are not isolated from the AC line. Take appropriate precautions when testing and troubleshooting this area of the generator. High frequency, high voltage signals that can cause severe burns are present in the RF output stage and in the associated mounting and heat sink hardware. Take appropriate precautions when testing and troubleshooting this area of the generator.

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW OF KEY CIRCUITS The following descriptions highlight the main circuits in the Bovie® DERM 101/102 High Frequency Desiccator.
High-voltage Power Supply +36VDC The unit incorporates a non-regulated high voltage power supply for the RF output power. The nominal DC voltage from the high voltage power supply is +36 VDC with tolerance between +33VDC and +37.5 VDC.
Low Voltage DC Supplies The unit incorporates two regulated low voltage levels to control generator operations. They are: +9 VDC, +5 VDC, +3.3 VDC, and +1.2VDC. • The +9 VDC circuit supplies power for the activation circuit, the audio circuit, the 7-segment display and Activation LED, and the RF drive circuit. This circuit turns on and off the power MOSFETS for the RF output power. • The +3.3 VDC and +1.2 VDC circuit supplies power for the logic system, and all temperature sensors.
ADC Voltage & Temperature Sensing The unit incorporates an analog-to digital converter (ADC) to continually monitor the power supply voltages for +9 VDC and +36 VDC . If this voltage is not within limits, the system displays Error Code E2 (36V) or Error Code E6 (9V) and disables the RF output. The ADC is also used by the system logic to monitor the internal temperature of the unit. If the temperature rises above 75° C, the system displays an error code and disables the RF output.

Activation Sensing Circuit and Remote Power Up/Down The Activation Sensing Circuit is used by the system logic to detect both hand controlled activation and foot- controlled activation and up/down requests. This circuit is made up of a colpitts oscillator (operating at approximately 80 kHz) and a level detection circuit. In a non-activation status, the colpitts oscillator operates at its set operating frequency, and presents a sine wave to the up/down level detection circuit. The level detection circuit converts the sine wave into a square wave. Any Activation, or UP/DN command, will not occur as long as a square wave with certain duty cycle is present. When a resistance (approximately 45 Ω or less) is presented to the transformer’s secondary winding by a hand-control or foot-control, the sense transformer is essentially shorted. The “short” is felt on the transformer’s primarywinding causing the colpitts oscillator to temporarily shut down.When the oscillator shuts down, the sense signal becomes +3.3 VDC (logic “1”). This informs the system logic that a handswitch or footswitch activation request has been made. When a resistance (80Ω< 90 Ω <110Ω) is presented to the transformer’s secondary winding by the hand-control, the colpitts oscillator is not shut down, but changes it's amplitude and reducing it's duty cycle. The system logic can measure the duty cycle and recognizes this condition as a request for "Power UP". When a resistance (150Ω< 200 Ω < 330Ω) is presented to the transformer’s secondary winding by the hand-control, the system logic recognizes this condition as a request for "Power DOWN". NOTICE The activation circuit works with Bovie® handpiece A902.
If the square wave (from any of the request sense circuits) is having a duty cycle, higher than the maximum predefined value that is measured at the system logic when the unit is initially turned on, an error code is displayed, an alarm sounds, and the RF output is disabled.
Audio Control Circuit The audio circuit is used by the system logic to generate activation tones and alarm tones. Volume for the activation tones may be adjusted from the back panel of the unit. NOTICE Alarm volume cannot be adjusted up or down.
RF Amplifier Circuit The RF Amplifier Circuit generates the RF output energy that is delivered to the patient. It is a single-ended power amplifier incorporating two power MOSFETs, and a step-up transformer. The initial RF drive pulse is generated by the Digital PWM circuit and the system logic control block. When the RF drive pulse turns the power MOSFET “ON,” current flows from the high voltage supply through the output transformers, through the clamping diodes, and then through the MOSFET to high voltage ground The energy developed by the “ON” time is stored in an LC tank circuit. When the MOSFET are OFF the energy is delivered to the patient through the output capacitors. A longer “ON” time develops more energy in the LC tank circuit; therefore, more energy is delivered to the patient.
Controls and Indicators The Bovie ® DERM 101/102™ controls and indicators are listed below: • DISPLAYS Seven segment displays indicate the output power in watts. • ACTIVATION INDICATOR Blue LED indicates that the generator is activated. • POWER CONTROL KNOB These mechanical encoder adjust the output power for each mode.
Service Guide • Bovie® DERM 101/102
4-3
• POWER SWITCH A double pole single throw switch that snaps into the housing. This switch supplies the AC mains current to the generator.
Digital PWM Circuit The Digital Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Circuit controls the output power of the unit. This digitally controlled signal is used by the system logic to provide a precise signal to the RF drive. The pulse width resolution is 12.5ns The pulse width is determined by power setting (generated by the user) on the front of the unit. When a power is selected, the system logic determines what the pulse width needs to be to deliver the requested output.
SYSTEM LOGIC The control logic uses a Field Programmable Gate Array as the “brain” of the Bovie® DERM 101/102 High Frequency Desiccator. This system interprets all of the inputs and delivers the correct corresponding outputs. Every operation of the unit is controlled from this system. A System Clock Circuit, composed of an oscillator, provides the basic operating frequency of 20 MHz. The Reset Circuit provides a single pulse at the time the Bovie® DERM 101/102 High Frequency Desiccator is turned on. This pulse resets Field Programmable Gate Array to ensure proper operation.

8. Set the power output either by using the dial on the front of the unit (see figures 5-2 and 5-3, letter E) or on Bovie® DERM 101/102 unit only by the up and down buttons on the handpiece (see figures 5-2 and 5-3, letter J). When power level adjustment is being made by the handpiece an audible tone will sound to indicate that the power level has been changed. Depressing and holding the up or down buttons will cause the power settings to change more rapidly for quick adjustment of the output settings. Power output is displayed in “.1” watt increments from 0.1 to 10 watts. NOTICE: The output settings can not be adjusted when the unit is being activated.
9. To activate the unit, remove the handpiece from the holder. Place the handpiece in the desired position and depress the activation button (see figures 5-2 and 5-3, letter K). When the unit is activated, an audible tone is sounded and the blue active light will illuminate (see figures 5-2 and 5-3, letter F). 10. To use the optional grounding plate with cord (A802EU), insert the plug of the cord into the grounding plate output (see figures 5-2 and 5-3, letter G) and connect the other end into the grounding plate. The plate should be placed underneath the patient at a point where the entire plate is covered by bare skin. The use of conductive gel is recommended. 11. To use the optional bipolar cord (A827V), insert the plugs into the bipolar outputs (see figures 5-2 and 5-3, letter H). The cord is then plugged into the forceps. A sliding gate behind the monopolar and bipolar outputs prevents the user from using both simultaneously. 12. The optional footswitch (A803) is plugged into the footswitch output and placed on the floor (see figures 5-2 and 5-3, letter I). The footswitch can be used with monopolar procedures and must be used with bipolar procedures. 13. When the procedure is completed, turn the unit off utilizing the switch on the right side panel of the unit. 14. Return the handpiece to the holder on the right side of the unit and remove the electrode. The electrode should be disposed of after each procedure. If contamination has occurred to the handpiece, the handpiece should also be sterilized. 15. Adjustment of the audible tone is achieved by a switch located on the rear of the unit (see figure 5-4). Two tone choices are available, high and low. A small screwdriver will be necessary to make the adjustment.

How to check the unit operation with a Footswitch 1. Connect a footswitch to the footswitch jack on the front of the unit. 2. Set the power setting to 0.1 watts. 3. Verify that the Activation LED illuminates blue, and that the system generates the Activation tone when you press the pedal on the footswitch. 4. Confirm that releasing the footswitch pedal returns the unit to an idle state.
How to Check the Monopolar Mode 1. Connect the monopolar handpiece A902 to the Monopolar receptacle. 2. Set the power setting to 0.1 watts. 3. Verify that the generator activates when the activation (blue) button on the handpiece is depressed.
UNIT OPERATION The Bovie ® DERM 101/102 High Frequency Desiccator produces radio frequency current which is useful for the removal and destruction of superficial cutaneous and mucosal lesions. This is done by performing desiccation and fulguration procedures. Electrosurgical desiccation occurs when the electrode is placed directly onto the surface of the lesion. Fulguration occurs when the electrode is held slightly above the lesion and an arc is delivered to the lesion. The unit also provides fast and efficient bleeding control by coagulation of capillaries and small blood vessels. For the majority of desiccation, fulguration, and coagulation procedures utilizing the standard handpiece in the monopolar output, the patient plate is optional. When used, the patient plate will intensify the coagulation properties of the unit and also lessen the opportunity for an electrosurgical burn. The optional footswitch adds versatility when using the standard handpiece in the monopolar output, as the footswitch allows you to activate the unit by either the handpiece or the footswitch. Bipolar outputs are available only in DERM 102™ for those physicians who prefer to utilize bipolar forceps to perform coagulation procedures. A footswitch is required when using the bipolar output. Procedures that are performed in sensitive areas may require an anesthetic. Flammable anesthetics should not be used. If you are unfamiliar with the operation of a low powered electrosurgery unit, it is advisable to practice on chicken or lean flank steak to visualize the effects at various output and power levels.
