ATTENTION
This information advices to special service procedures or caution measures, which must be considered to avoid
damage to the device.
REMARK
This is general and special information to clarify important and helpful instructions.
Scope of Delivery
Principle of operation of radio frequency (RF)
If radio frequency is guided through very thin metal electrodes, a very large electro-magnetic power density is created in the tissue layer.
The water is abruptly heated up in these cells which leads to cooking and rupture, respectively.
THERMAL OPERATION (MONOPOLAR)
CUTTING (CUT) / COAGULATION (COAG)
At monopolar cutting the radio frequency current is led from the device via a
work electrode and a large neutral electrode back to the device. The current
density at the treatment point is very high, but it is very low at the neutral elec-
trode. The electric current density leads to a fast and strong heating in tissue,
which can be used for cutting and coagulation.
THERMAL OPERATION (BIPOLAR)
At bipolar application the current is going from one side of an instrument (i.e.
forceps) to the other side of the device.
The advantage of this technology is to apply the current in an exact defined
area, so it can be used for selective coagulation and closing of small vessels.
