Overview
The HiPot 150® is a portable high-voltage test set for in-service testing of electrosurgical instruments and accessories used in open and laparoscopic surgery. It is used to find instruments and cables with faulty insulation.
The unit supplies a high voltage at a very low current: 4 kV for monopolar accessories and 1 kV for bipolar accessories. Ionisation and breakdown are shown on a meter with an audible signal. It also tests continuity, and checks the switches and continuity of diathermy pencils.
A rechargeable battery with a protected charging circuit gives about 12 hours of run time. The unit switches off automatically after 5 to 10 minutes idle, or when the battery falls below 10 V. The HiPot 150 is an Electrolab product.
