7. Before starting surgery, check the fill level of the gas bottle on the pressure
gauge of the pressure reducer, or on the status indicator on the HF generator
as described in the operating instructions for the HF generator (e.g. "Argon
menu" section for the ARC 400).
The electronic pressure sensor reports the fill level, which is shown on the
display of the associated HF generator (e.g. ARC 400). If the fill level of the
bottle is adequate, the surgery can begin.

place automatically. The purpose of this monitoring function is to ensure that
an adequate gas supply is available.
The argon device is de-activated automatically when an argon mode is not
selected on the HF generator. The operating mode indicator
