Notes- The ratings above are maximum values; actual outputs may vary by ±20% as specified.
- Peak voltage and crest factors change with selected power levels and loads.
- Power can be reduced during procedures by adjusting the settings to achieve the required clinical effect.
- Always use the lowest effective power setting compatible with the intended surgical outcome.
