Let’s start with some basic FACTS about the electrosurgery industry…

• #1: Electrosurgery generator manufacturers use RF current measurement as their standard for research & development, product manufacturing, and service & calibration

• #2: RF current measurement through the test load is inherently more accurate than RF voltage measurement across the test load

• #3: Older generation ESU measurement technology heavily utilizes thermal converter technology and/or resistive/capacitive voltage divider circuitry

• #4: New 5th Generation ESU measurement technology utilizes advanced level digital signal processing (DSP) technology unlike any prior generation of analyzers

13 Essential Electrosurgery Industry Facts


• #5: Major ESU generator manufacturers have been searching for a “next generation” ESU Analyzer technology platform for almost 10 years– They needed something better to meet the testing requirements of

current state of the art generators as well as future generators

• #6: There is a growing population of ESU generators in the marketplace that generate “pulsed output” waveforms– These cannot be measured with most legacy ESU Analyzers

• #7: Some of today’s ESU generators require analyzers that can measure up to 5,500 ma RF!

• #8: The number of discrete test loads required for test & calibration of some of the newer generators is climbing to unprecedented levels!


• #9: Newer technology generators with embedded micro-computer controllers are totally firmware driven, and firmware updates or major subassembly replacements can often require a complete recalibration of the generator.

• #10: Most electrosurgery manufacturers specify a 1% of reading accuracy calibration device for use in calibrating their generators, especially their newest models.

• #11: There are generators in the market today that produce waveforms at 4 M Hz and higher… and more are on the way– Historically, fundamental output frequencies of most generators were

in the range of 500 K Hz to 700 K Hz


• #12: The traditionally “loose” field test specifications (+/- 10% - +/- 20%) for output power tests have derived over the years based upon the relative poor performance and specifications of available test technology. This is changing with the availability of 5th generation technology.

• #13: For the past 20+ years, major electrosurgery manufacturers have utilized the Fluke Electronics Model 8920A Digital Wide Band Multimeter (discontinued in 1999 without replacement) instead of specialty ESU Analyzers. This is quickly changing with the current availability of a growing fleet of commercially available 5th Generation ESU Analyzers.

Electrosurgery Generator Technology1926 - Present

19262008

Four distinct technology generations…


•William Bovie, Ph.D., Harvard, Physics, attached to the Harvard Cancer Commission; collaborated with Cushing in developing the “Bovie”

•Cushing was a graduate of Harvard Medical School (HMS)

•Cushing became Chair, Dept. of Surgery, HMS, is widely considered to be the “father of neurosurgery”

•Bovie ESU first used clinically at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital by Cushing on Oct. 1, 1926


•Quote from Cushing’s operative notes“With Dr. Bovie’s help, I proceeded to take off most satisfactorily the remaining portion of the tumor with practically none of the bleeding, which was occasioned in the preceding operation. The loop acted perfectly and blood stilling was almost complete, but whether we would venture to use anything of this kind in the brain tissue itself, I am at a loss to know because almost certainly it would cause convulsion.”

•Bovie collaborated with Liebel-Flarsheim of Cincinnati to build an operating room ES generator•Circa 1927, sold his patent to Liebel-Flarsheim for $1, left Harvard without tenure

The ESU Industry Today

Based upon 2006 market research data….

ESU Test Technology History

Here’s Where It All Started…

A simple incandescent light bulb was actually the very first ESU “Analyzer” to be used. Some major ESU manufacturers still use light bulbs for certain types of go / no-go output tests as well as

“tissue response” test loads due to the filament impedance change characteristics to applied high frequency energy.



1st Generation Devices

• Late 1970’s through early 1990’s (BC Biomedical ESU-2000A is still available)

• “Passive” RF thermocouple ammeter devices

• RF current measurement with RF power (watts) separate scales on meter movements

• Analog meter movements were very susceptible to damage and breakage

• Limited test loads (typically 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 )

• Limited accuracy and functionality


RF Current Measurement in its simplest form…

ESU Test Technology History2nd Generation Devices

• Mid 1980’s through early 1990’s• Major technology advances from 1st

generation devices• “Active” signal processing of the RF

waveform• RF voltage measurement typically via

resistive voltage divider circuitry• RF current & RF power are calculated

values (I=V/R, P=V2/R)• Thermal converters were typically used

to derive energy readings• Early units had analog meters – later

units had digital displays• Larger variety of test loads than 1st

generation devices• Better accuracy than 1st generation

devices• REM/ARM testing capabilities + Crest

Factor (CF)• Enhanced overall functionality and

reliability

derive energy readings based upon measured RMS current (P=I2R)

• Largest variety of test loads offered to date by any analyzer (50-1550 )

• Better accuracy than 1st & 2nd generation devices – but still limited compared to 5th generation devices

• Dedicated REM/ARM testing• Enhanced overall functionality and

reliability compared to prior generation devices

The 454A was in a class of its own!

Discontinued in 2007 by manufacturer


RF Current Measurement… simple & pure industry standard approach…

ESU Test Technology History4th Generation Devices

• Mid 1990’s through present• 4th Generation devices represent a “step

backwards” in accuracy and innovation compared to 3rd Generation (Model 454A)

• Limited REM/ARM/CQM testing capabilities…poor resolution

• “Active” signal processing of the RF waveform

• RF energy measurement via voltage measurement (capacitive voltage divider circuitry) – a “shortcut” approach that has several significant technical issues

• Calculation of RF current using Ohm’s Law – ignores inductance of load (Calculations: I=V/R & P=V2/R)

• No significant new functionality introduced vs: 3rd or 4th Generation devices

• Less accurate at lower load values & higher frequency combinations

One Customer’s ListServ CommentsFrom: Paul DeLisle [[email protected]]Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 7:23 PMSubject: Re: ESU analyzers

Hello, Group:I helped test the BC Group 2050 on Valleylab's ForceTriads...it is *much* more accurate, and has much better information than

any of the other units on the market. In addition, since the loads are external; you can use it on *any* ESU (you just might need to buy another $80 resistor...)

We also have a 454; and I have loved it for years...it's very user-friendly; the programming for test series' is fairly simple, and it does most things well-enough.

However, it's built-in resistor loads are 10% tolerance, not the 1% loads that BC Group supplies. In addition, the 454 will not *calibrate* a Valleylab ForceTriad (but it will do the performance check.)

We happened to luck into a bit of end-of-year funds a couple of years in a row...so we actually have a 454, a 2050, and a Metron (Fluke) QA-ES. I would highly recommend *against* getting the QA-ES!

It's actively user-hostile; and it's only benefits (that it can run automated tests) require building special footswitch simulators for every piece of equipment you own, and then learn their programming language to write the routine. It's no more accurate than any other older ESU tester, and is a pain all the way around. STAY AWAY FROM THE QA-ES!

Trust me, guys and gals...get the 2050. It will do *anything* you want it to...although it does it slightly slower than the 454's automated programs. In addition, your Decade box will have to live right next to it, to do your REM tests (another good point about the 454.) However, if you get the BC Group unit, I can't see you ever needing to buy another ESU Analyzer.

Hope this helps!

One ESU Manufacturer’s Comments

• “We've been doing this for a long time, some 30+ years, and your ESU-2000 Series Product Overview White Paper hit the nail on the head squarely. RF measurement has been the bane our industry, and, while at a manufacturing level we can reproduce fairly accurate and repeatable results, the bio-med industry usually doesn't follow our methods. While our primary focus is neurosurgical, we cover other disciplines as well. Our ESU’s are basically bipolar, and the Malis generators are the mainstay in virtually any Neuro OR around the world.”

3600 Horizon Drive, Suite 110King of Prussia, PA 19406-4700


• “As you are aware, the demise of the Fluke 8920A series of meters has left us hunting down surplus stock, usually via eBay. Obviously, this won't last forever. In addition, we wanted to post the instruments used in our IFU and service manuals, but without a steady supply of meters, that is out of the question. Finding your ESU-2050 and 2300 series of meters gave us hope that we may be able to now do this, especially after reading that Valleylab has now standardized on your system.”



• “We look forward to having a good working relationship with what appears to be a company that has given considerable thought to solving one our industry's major problems.“


The “Science” of ESU Testing

It’s all about the high-frequency “behavior” of electronic components & circuitry, and proper

measurement techniques………

RF Current Measurement vs: Voltage Measurement

RF Current vs: Voltage Measurement• RF Current measurement is the accepted standard in the

electrosurgery generator manufacturing industry!

• RF Current measurement is more accurate than voltage measurement across the load, no matter if the voltage measurement is based upon a resistive or capacitive divider circuit– Capacitive dividers tend to be even more inaccurate due to

uncontrolled (stray) capacitive leakage at higher frequencies, % tolerance on capacitors, accuracy of matching values in the divider circuitry, etc…

• Voltage measurement instruments will be increasingly inaccurate as the waveform frequency increases, especially at lower load values such as 50 and 100

RF Current Measurement in its simplest form (1st Generation Analyzers)…

RF Current vs: Voltage Measurement

RF Current Measurement as implemented today…


RF Voltage Measurement… typical resistive voltage divider technique…


RF Voltage Measurement… typical capacitive voltage divider technique…


“When comparing readings measured with a V2/R device to readings measured with an I2R device, total

measurement difference will likely be larger than 35%, due to different methods of deriving power.”


Why are the two different methods so far apart in measurement accuracy ?


Why is current measurement superior to simple voltage measurement?

Remember ZL = R + jωL ?

Where…

ZL = AC impedance of the load at the operating frequency (f)

R = DC resistance of the load

ω = 2πf

L = inductance of the load


ZL = R + jωL

RF Current measurement takes into consideration, the actual frequency of the RF waveform and it is measured through the actual test load’s AC impedance at the operating frequency of

the applied waveform.


The AC impedance of the load is part of the resulting RF current measurement…


ZL = R + jωL

RF voltage measurement across the test load (either directly or via voltage divider circuitry) ignores the operating frequency of the RF waveform being applied to the load and then applies

Ohm’s Law to calculate the RF current through the load, using only the DC resistance value of the load, thus totally

ignoring the AC impedance of the load at the operating frequency of the applied waveform.


Frequency affects the AC impedance of all resistors (and capacitors) in the measurement circuit… not just the load resistor of the analyzer…



ZL = R + jωLExamples of AC load impedance vs: DC load resistance as a

function of operating waveform frequency:L = 10 μH (typical value)
