Strong RFITT
+RCAP
If the output power level is below the optimum power level:
- Increasing the output power level results in an increased coagulation depth.
- Decreasing the output power level results in a decreased coagulation depth.
If the output power level is above the optimum power level:
- Increasing and decreasing the output power level does not result in a significant
change of coagulation depth because of RCAP.
• Refer to the section “The bipolar RFITT coagulation modes” on page 63.

8.4 Selecting the appropriate output settings
Appropriate selections
• Select a mode according to the type of procedure that will be performed and according to
the HF instruments that will be used.
• For details on the applications, HF instruments and specific technical features of the
different modes and for the impact of output power levels refer to the section “Overview of
output modes” on page 59.
Output power level and applied power
The output power levels that are displayed on the All Screen or on the Set Screen represent
the maximum possible output power levels in watts. The actually applied power depends on
the tissue characteristics, e.g. resistance.
Minimum output power level
If the output power level of a mode is set below the minimum allowed value by the user, then
the electrosurgical generator automatically sets the output power level to 0. Instead of a
number for the output power level, [--] is displayed. Each mode has specific minimum output
power levels. Refer to the section “Mode characteristics according to IEC 60601-2-2” on
page 101 in the Appendix B. It is impossible to change the mode or the output power level
during activation.
Selecting the settings on the touch screen
To set the required output settings proceed as follows:
