“Monopolar Coag – Argon Flexible” mode
This setting is a general-purpose standard mode for endoscopic surgery with
flexible argon probes.
This mode enables precise treatment of the tissue according to the selected
energy level.
Deep coagulation and effective tissue devitalisation can be achieved with a
relatively high energy level.
Homogeneous. precisely controlled tissue coagulation is possible when a relatively
low energy level is selected,
The gas status indicator
4
lights up blue when this mode is active.
“Monopolar Coag – Argon Pulsed” mode
The Argon Pulsed mode is based on pulsed activation (on/off) and can be adjusted
for both coagulation and devitalisation of tissue.
The pulse rate (1, 5 or 10 Hz) depends on the selected Effect level. This controlled
application allows homogeneous tissue effects to be achieved.
The gas status indicator
4
lights up blue when this mode is active.
The following table summarises the recommended parameter settings for the HF
device. Always set the power and the gas flow rate to the lowest values necessary
for the surgery.

Note
The diameter of the argon probe should be selected according to the diameter of
the working channel of the endoscope that is used.
The length of the argon probe that is used depends on the length of the endoscope
and the location of the surgery in the patient’s body.
Generators with Plug’n Cut COMFORT recognise BOWA COMFORT instruments
and automatically select the appropriate parameter values.
The ignition distances may vary when CO

is used as an insufflation gas.
Purge again with argon gas before use.
