I’ve gone through my entire order of IBP probes from TES only to find that they all are coagulating tissue on the insulated portion of the probe (usually coupled with a crackle). I’m using them with an Apilus SX500, both with my own settings as well as presets (microflash 0.048s 86% for example).
Is anyone else experiencing this phenomena? Has there been a lax of QC at Laurier recently?
EDIT
My apologies for not checking recent posts more thoroughly; I wasn’t aware that the owner of the company recently passed.
After the owner passed away, I was told that Laurier probes will no longer be available, so I switched to Pro-Tec insulated (Isogard and Isoblend). With the Laurier, the insulation would break down and coagulated material would sometimes adhere to the needle. I no longer have these issues now that I am using Pro-Tec.
For what it’s worth, with your probe supply probably running low, just know that this happens because your energy level, (most likely the intensity ) is too high. Adjust your settings. you should’t hear a crackle and the debris should not stick or cause build up on the insulation. Turn it down. You can wipe the needle with sterile water to get the debris off.
