3 Functionality
26 ARC 300 / ARC 350 Operating manual 900-350_IFU_V2.6_10296-S13-20100111-EN
The following modes are available:
Mode Characteristics Application
"Standard" mode (factory setting) Moderate coagulation Deep coagulation
"Dessication I" mode Moderate to high coagulation Fast, deep coagulation
"Dessication II" mode Moderate/Minor coagulation Deep, slow coagulation
"Dessication III" mode Minor to moderate coagulation Slow coagulation
"Dessication IV" mode High coagulation High coagulation
3.1.3. "Forced Coag" mode
If you wish to change the settings of the "Forced Coag" mode, see
Chapter Menu program 5 "Forced Coag Mode", page 60.
This mode is used for contact coagulation extending only over a small
area of the tissue, preferably with small surfaces and fine electrodes.
There are likewise three modes available in the "Forced Coag" mode:
Mode Characteristics Application
"Non-cutting" mode High coagulation rate
Minimal cutting tendency
Requirements for good coagulation
without cutting tissue
"Mixed" mode High coagulation rate
Moderate cutting effect
All standard applications(factory
setting)
"Cutting" mode Good hemostasis
Outstanding cutting effect
Preparatory cutting with the blue key
3.1.4. "Spray coagulation" mode
This mode is used for contactless surface coagulation via arcing.
This mode is used for hemostasis in parenchymal tissue or in poorly
accessible crevices and in conjunction with argon coagulation.
