COBLATION™ System
Ablation mode
As the Controller settings increase from 1 to 9 in the COBLATION mode, the performance of the Wand
transitions from a thermal effect to ablative effect through the creation and intensity of plasma. When the
Controller setting increases, the plasma field increases in size, and thermal effect decreases accordingly.

Coagulation mode
All COBLATION Wands can operate in Coag mode for hemostasis. The bipolar nature of the Wand sends
energy through the desired tissue, coagulating the blood vessels through a resistive heating process.

2 For Wands with saline irrigation tubing, attach the flow control valve unit to an IV pole by placing the
clamp onto the pole. Hang a 500ml or 1000ml bag of saline on the IV pole, and set the bag height
approximately 3 feet above the patient for optimal flow.
3 Plug one end of the flow control cable into the rear of the flow control valve Unit and the other end into the
receptacle on the front of the Controller. Press the valve switch up (so that the green
light is illuminated) to open the pinch valve.

Close the irrigation tubing roller clamp, spike the saline bag with
irrigation tubing extension, and thread the irrigation tubing behind
the pinch valve.

NOTE: Saline should only drip when the surgeon steps on the
foot pedal. If saline flows non-stop, check that the saline tubing
is completely engaged in the pinch valve.
