Troubleshooting

Depending on the potential risks, the alarms are classified in high, medium and low priority 

alarms. An alarm of higher priority overrides an existing alarm of lower priority. If more 

than one alarm condition of equal priority is determined, only the one that occurred first is 

reported.

The following table explains the three different conditions.

High

3 short honks 

and 2 long honks 

for 2 cycles

The caution 

symbol is red 

and flashes.

 - Serious system error.

 - The output power is stopped automatically.

 - The electrosurgical generator automatically restarts.

 - If the restart runs successfully, then the user can 

continue to use this electrosurgical generator.

Medium

3 short honks

The caution 

symbol is yellow 

and flashes.

 - With most medium priority alarms the output power 

stops automatically.

 - The user immediately needs to resolve the cause of 

the error as explained in the error message.

 - As soon as the error is resolved, the user can 

continue to use this electrosurgical generator.

Low

2 short honks

The caution 

symbol is yellow 

without flashing.

 - The user needs to take notice of the error message.

 - Possibly, the output power is stopped automatically 

and the user needs to resolve the cause of the error 

as explained in the error message.

 - As soon as the error is resolved, the user can 

continue to use this electrosurgical generator.

If an alarm condition occurs, then an alarm tone sounds and an error message is displayed 

on the touch screen of the electrosurgical generator. The following figure shows an example:
