8.1 Safety information on output settings
WARNING
Strong RFITT+RCAP
When using the mode Strong RFITT+RCAP, the output of energy is stopped if the HF 
electrode is withdrawn from the patient or if the tissue is totally desiccated after a long 
treatment time. There is the risk that too much tissue is coagulated which can result in injury 
to the patient.
 
• Make sure to stop the output power on the basis of the applied amount of energy, the 
duration of activation and the progress of coagulation.
 
• Refer to the explanations on the Strong RFITT+RCAP mode in the section “The bipolar 
RFITT coagulation modes” on page 63.
CAUTION
Conscious patients and muscle stimulation
All cutting modes are supported by High Power Cut Support (HPCS). HPCS generates high 
current densities which result in nerve and muscle stimulation. This can cause pain and 
discomfort to patients without sedation, pain medication or general anesthesia.
 
• Use output modes without HPCS for conscious patients. Refer to the section “Overview of 
output modes” on page 59.

 - Fast Spark Monitor (FSM) ensures 
smooth and reproducible cutting in 
varying tissue, e.g. muscle and fat.
PureCut
 - Cutting of varying tissue structures.
 - Monopolar cutting electrodes, e.g. 
needle electrodes.
 - Medium spark intensity for medium 
thermal effect.
