Bipolar Operation
For the assignment of the numbering, see section 4.2 “Functions of the Control Elements,
Connections and Displays”, page 12.
4.7.1
Function of the Neutral Electrode
For bipolar application no neutral electrode is required. When selecting bipolar coagulation, the
monitoring of the neutral electrode is deactivated.
NOTICE
As a changeover from bipolar to monopolar application during the course of an operation is to
be expected, we recommend application of a neutral electrode under all circumstances.
4.7.2
Connecting Bipolar Instruments
All bipolar connection cables with small coax plug (e. g. for bipolar forceps, bipolar RF pliers)
can be connected to socket (14).
