Section 3.0

Sabre Genesis™ functions and essential circuit information are provided in this section. This section begins
with a description of the key parameters for each mode. This is followed by an overview of how the system
functions and some key operational information for the modules within the system.
3.1 Mode Descriptions
The key functional parameters for each mode are presented here. Nominal mode specifications are provided
in section 1.2.11 of the Sabre Genesis™ Operators Manual.

Standard mode is fundamentally different from the Cut mode in that the resonant circuit of the RF Amplifier
and Transformer combination is excited by the energy of a single pulse, causing the resonant circuit to ring
until the energy is dissipated.

3.2 System Overview

Mains power is converted to electrosurgical output power through the RF Power Supply (RFPS), the RF
Amplifier, and the Transformer and Output sections of the system.
Mains power is converted to high voltage direct current power in the RFPS to supply the RF Amplifier.
This is essentially a power transformer with a power factor corrected regulator. The power factor correction
can be enabled or disabled under software control.
Pulses generated in the RF Controller are amplified to electrosurgical power and voltage levels in the RF
Amplifier and Transformer portions of the power train. Three high-voltage bipolar transistors and a single
MOSFET make up the hybrid-cascode RF Amplifier. The hybrid-cascode amplifier is a fast, high-voltage
amplifier that can be controlled by the combination of DC voltage (VBASE_PWM) and a fixed ampli-
tude, variable pulse width signal (RFGATE). This amplifier is combined through a relay with either the
Monopolar output transformer or the Bipolar output transformer to generate electrosurgical power.
Electrosurgical power flows from the RF Amplifier / Transformer section to the Output section where the
power is switched to the specific electrosurgical outputs. The Output section also has circuitry to detect
