Energy Output Characteristics
Output Waveforms
TissueFect Tissue Sensing Technology, an automatic adjustment, controls all modes and
effects. As tissue resistance increases from zero, the energy platform outputs constant
current, followed by constant power, followed by constant voltage. The maximum output
voltage is controlled to reduce capacitive coupling and video interference and to minimize
sparking.
