"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

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

"Cutting" mode Good hemostasis
Outstanding cutting effect Preparatory cutting with the blue key
