8.3 Tissue effects depending on the output power level
8.3.1 Monopolar modes
Mode name
Effect on tissue
FineCut
 - Increasing the output power level results in an increased thermal effect and an 
increased cutting capability.
 - Decreasing the output power level results in a decreased thermal effect and a 
decreased cutting capability.
PureCut
StrongCut
PulseCut
SoftCoag
 - Increasing the output power level results in an increased coagulation depth for short 
time applications.
 - Decreasing the output power level results in a decreased coagulation depth for short 
time applications.
 - Nevertheless, to achieve the full potential coagulation depth, a long application time 
with a low power setting is necessary.
ForcedCoag
 - Increasing the output power level results in an increased thermal effect.
 - Decreasing the output power level results in a decreased thermal effect.

8.3.2 Bipolar modes
Mode name
Effect on tissue 
FineCut
 - Increasing the output power level results in an increased thermal effect and an 
increased cutting capability.
 - Decreasing the output power level results in a decreased thermal effect and a 
decreased cutting capability.
PureCut
StrongCut
SoftCoag
 - Increasing the output power level results in an increased coagulation depth for short 
time applications.
 - Decreasing the output power level results in a decreased coagulation depth for short 
time applications.
 - Nevertheless, to achieve the full potential coagulation depth, a long application time 
with a low power setting is necessary.
Fine RFITT
For short time applications that end significantly earlier than the automatic end-
of-procedure detection:
 - Increasing the output power level results in an increased coagulation depth.
 - Decreasing the output power level results in a decreased coagulation depth.
For application times until automatic end-of-procedure detection:
 - Increasing the output power level results in faster coagulation, a quicker end of 
procedure and a decreased coagulation depth.
 - Decreasing the output power level results in slower coagulation, a later end of 
procedure and an increased coagulation depth.
 
• Refer to the section “The bipolar RFITT coagulation modes” on page 63.
