6 Operation
WARNING
Activating the RF current is not permitted while inserting the electrode and during
electrode replacement! Risk of burns!
For activation, turn on the RF current according to the previously selected operating mode by
operating the switch on the handle or the foot switch. The RF current is produced according to the
previously selected output setting. Activation is accompanied by a continuous tone and the
indicator lamp for the operating mode MONOPOLAR (8) or BIPOLAR (15) lights up.
WARNING
The rules for electrosurgery application in chapter 7 “Safety measures” for patients and
users generally have to be observed. In particular, ensure safe application of the
neutral electrode and proper positioning of the patient! Only use accessories in flawless
condition!
The surface of the device may get very hot during the extended application of RF
current.
6.1 Special functions
The device is equipped with the following special functions.
The AutoRF

function monitors and controls the power output of the device
depending on the state of the tissue.
p3™ works with all coagulation modes of the CURIS
®
. Here the
radiofrequency energy is emitted in 50 packets per second. The treatment
is gentler on the tissue due to the short breaks.
TIMER (29)
This special function limits the RF output to a maximum activation time selected in advance. The
device automatically turns off the electrode after this time. Adjust the time using the rotary knob
(21). The display (20) indicates the remaining available time. The TIMER only runs while the RF
current is activated; pausing stops the TIMER. The adjustment range is 0.2 … 60,0 seconds. The
TIMER function only works in the coagulation operating modes (both monopolar and bipolar, but
not in RaVoR™ mode).
