Selecting Between RF and Shaver Modes
To select the appropriate mode, do one of the following:
• Press
between modes.
• Press the mode button on the footswitch.
• Press any button on the desired handpiece.
Selecting Force Modulation in RF Mode
The Crossfire Console features an additional RF mode known as Force
Modulation. Force Modulation is an alternative ablation mode that duty cycles
RF output at a low frequency to achieve a lower average power output than in
normal CUT mode.
Currently, Force Modulation is an option only with the following SERFAS Energy
probes: 90-S, 90-S Max, and Super 90-S.
• To activate Force Modulation, hold down the grey power button
on the SERFAS probe for three seconds. A hammer icon
will appear on the LCD screen of the console, indicating Force
Modulation activated.
• To deactivate Force Modulation, hold down the grey power button
on the SERFAS probe for three seconds. The hammer icon will
disappear from the LCD screen.
Adjusting Power and Speed Settings
Use the
setting for the active handpiece.
Note: Forward and reverse settings are adjusted independent of each other.
Adjusting settings in one mode will not affect the other.
Note: In RF mode, power can also be adjusted with the buttons on the handpiece
or footswitch.
Note: To switch between cut and coag in RF mode, use the buttons on the
handpiece or footswitch.
Note: In shaver mode, the console uses radio frequency identification (rfid) to
automatically detect which type of disposable attachment is connected to the
handpiece. Upon recognition, the console adjusts to an optimal preset cutting
speed, direction, and power.
