Using the product
IMPORTANT! It is essential that you read the chapter "Safety in-
structions". You will find valuable information about safe han-
dling there.
Safe application of the argon plasma:
The argon plasma is applied axially, laterally, or radially, depend-
ing on the type of beam. You can find out the type of beam of
your probe by referring to the chapter "Maximum electrical ca-
pacity and unit setting". In order to reliably locate the tissue you
want to work on, please establish the type of beam before using
the probe.
Positioning probes with lateral beam (so-called Side-Fire
Probes):
On the side opposite the aperture of the probe (2) there is a lon-
gitudinal mark (1). Use this mark as a positioning aid when ap-
plying th argon plasma (3).
