8.9.1 Alarm priorities
The electrosurgical generator is equipped with an intelligent alarm system. The alarm

alarms. An alarm of higher priority overrides an existing alarm of lower priority. If more
than one alarm condition of equal priority is determined, only the one that occurred rst is
reported.
