Memory Feature (Last Used Preset)
The Memory feature allows the unit to display the last selected power preset when the generator is turned on.
NOTICE:
To have a setting selection available at startup or to be one of the 10 user-defined presets, the
adjustment to the mode and/or power settings must be saved by pressing the Set button on the
Preset display panel.
Examples
Examples 1 through 5 explain how the Memory and temporary memory features work and what happens when the power and/or
mode is adjusted but not saved as one of the 10 Preset selections. Example 6 explains what happens when the power and/or mode is
adjusted and saved as a new Preset setting:
#1. The physician performs a surgical procedure using Preset 2. The Preset has been stored with the following mode and power:
• The mode is set to Cut I
• The power setting for Cut I is 30 watts
• The power setting for Pinpoint is 15 watts
• The power setting for Bipolar is 20 watts.
The procedure is completed and the unit is switched off.
The next time the unit is switched on, the number 2 Preset will be displayed and available when the unit is activated. The
number 2 Preset will be the same as the modes and settings indicated above.
#2. The physician performs a surgical procedure using Preset 2 (same as Example #1 Preset values).
He adjusts the power settings for each mode but does not store the new settings into the Preset.
The next time the unit is switched on, the number 2 Preset will be displayed and available when the unit is activated. The
number 2 Preset will be the same as the modes and settings indicated in Example #1.
#3. The physician performs a surgical procedure using Preset 2 (same as Example #1 Preset values).
He changes the settings by selecting the Cut II mode. The displayed power will remain at 30 watts. The physician then adjusts the
power to 100 watts. He resumes the procedure now using Cut II at 100 watts. He then switches the mode back to Cut I. The power
output returns to 30 watts as stored in the # 2 Preset. The physician switches again to the Cut II mode and the output power
returns to the temporary memory of 100 watts as previously selected. The procedure is completed without saving any modes or
power settings. The next time the unit is switched on, the number 2 Preset will be displayed and available when the unit is acti-
vated. The number 2 Preset will be the same as the modes and settings indicated in Example #1.
#4. The physician performs a surgical procedure using Preset 2 (same as Example #1 Preset values.).
As required in the procedure, he selects the Blend mode (the Blend Amount Indicator illuminates to one bar indicating the Blend
mode can be increased to the preferred amount of blend). He adjusts the hemostasis level up to a 30% blend but does not store
the new settings into the Preset. The next time the unit is switched on, the number 2 Preset will be displayed and available when
the unit is activated. The number 2 Preset will be the same as the modes and settings indicated in Example #1.
#5. The physician performs a surgical procedure using Preset 2 (same as Example #1 Preset values). He adjusts the power settings
for a Cut mode, a Coag mode, and a Bipolar mode and presses the Store button for three seconds to save the new settings as
Preset number 2. The next time the unit is switched on, the number 2 Preset will be displayed and available when the unit is
activated. The number 2
Preset will now be the last saved Preset settings for Preset 2.
