Term
Definition
1-Shot
A possible value for the STIM RATE in the STIMULATION modes. If
selected, only one stimulus pulse is delivered when the output is turned
on.
Cannula
A metal tube that is electrically insulated along its length, with exception
to an exposed tip from which electrical currents flow.
COOLED RF
A group of states specifically designed to allow for the use of water-
cooled probes to allow more power to be dissipated in tissue, resulting in
a larger lesion at a lower temperature.
Dispersive Electrode
An adhesive pad with a large electrically active surface area used in
monopolar RF modes, as well as in certain Placement States. Often
referred to as a “grounding pad”, or as a “return electrode.”
DONE
State of the Generator when RF energy has been terminated.
