When attempting to activate although the output power level is set to 0, then an alarm tone 

sounds and the following error message is displayed:

 

• Confirm the message by tapping [OK] or wait for a few seconds and then continue.

The bipolar SoftCoag mode can be activated via Autostart if this is assigned to the 

corresponding output socket.

 

• Refer to the section “Autostart for the bipolar mode SoftCoag” on page 22 for more 

details on the Autostart feature.

 

• Refer to the section “Foot switch assignment and Autostart” on page 41 for instructions 

on assigning Autostart.

 

• Refer to the section “Autostart Setup” on page 45 for instructions on setting a time delay 

to Autostart.

The output of power stops as soon the foot switch pedal or the hand switch is released.

When using Autostart for the bipolar mode SoftCoag, the output of power stops as soon as 

the HF instrument is removed from the tissue.

After each use, immediately perform the procedures as described in the following 

paragraphs. If cleaning is delayed, debris encrustation may become a source of infection. 

Encrustation may also result in malfunction of the electrosurgical generator.

Tissue debris and reprocessing chemicals represent a risk of infection for the reprocessing 

personnel.

 

• During cleaning and disinfection wear appropriate personal protective clothing such as eye 

wear, face mask, moisture-resistant clothing and surgical gloves that fit properly.

 

• Before leaving the reprocessing area, remove the contaminated protective clothing.

If the electrosurgical generator is stored or used after cleaning while still damp, then this can 

result to electric shock to the patient and the user.
