Function field for monopolar Cutting modes
When none of the following buttons are activated the unit works in pure cutting mode.
TUR
When pressing the TUR button the power for cutting will be increased. This is needed for
so called “under water cuts” as are used in Transurethral resection.
Blend
When pressing the Blend button the pure cutting function is changed to a blend mode
combining a combination of cutting and coagulation functions. Part of the signal will be in
the cutting mode and part in the coagulation mode. When you keep pressing the button for
around 1.5 sec. “BL” and a value from 1-9 will light up in the Cutting display. Thus
coagulation degree (the coagulation duration) can thus be varied by the arrow keys in 9
steps from 1=few up to 9=strong) A setting of 5 results in a 50-50 combination of cutting
and coagulation modes. A setting of 9 means that about 90% of the time the signal will be
in the coagulation mode.
Pulse
When pressing the Pulse button the cutting current will be delivered in a pulsed form in
order i.e. to cut off a diverticla cleanly with loop electrodes. The pulsing power alternates
between high cutting power and lower coagulating power. Thus cutting is followed by
coagulation. The duration of the coagulation phase can be adjusted by pressing the Pulse
button for around 1.5 sec. “PL” and a value from 1-9 will light up in the Cutting display.
The coagulation phase duration can be varied by the arrow keys in 9 steps from 1=few up
to 9=strong)
Pulse TUR
In case both keys are activated a pulsed cut under water can be performed. The power for
cutting will be increased and the current is delivered in a pulsed form, in order i.e. to cut
off diverticles cleanly with loop electrodes with under water. Due to the pulsed waveform
an additional coagulation effect is achieved during cutting.

Function keys for monopolar Coagulation modes
These pushbuttons select the desired coagulation mode for the function field coagulation.
There is a choice for Soft, Force, and Spray Coagulation, selecting the desired degree of
coagulation with respect to output power, output voltage and signal shape (see Technical
Data chapter 8).Additionally to the "normal" Force coagulation a certain cutting degree can
be mixed to the coagulation power to allow a less bleeding cut. (Comparable to "Blend"
cutting). When you keep pressing the button for around 1.5 sec. “
Fr.”
and a value from 1-9
will light up in the coagulation display. This cutting degree can thus be varied by the arrow
keys in 9 steps from 1=no up to 9=strong).Additionally to achieve a better TUR coagulation
the unit can be adjusted to "HI" with the arrow keys (turn completely down)

Function keys for bipolar modes
Auto-Stop Button
Pressing this button enables AutoStop mode. In this mode the HF generator will be
activated for around 1.5 sec. by either the footswitch.
ATTENTION:
Do not use Bipolar-Automatic-Mode (14) together with TissueLink Bipolar fluid
supported instruments. The irrigation fluid could disturb the recognition of the automatic function!!!
TissueLink fluid supported instruments have to be used only without activated bipolar automatic!
