Should contact break off between the remOVE DC Cutter and the clip during the application of a DC pulse, the output of the remOVE DC Impulse will be deac- tivated within less than 500 µs. Breaking-off of contact might occur, for example, if one or both electrodes lose contact with the clip due to successful clip fragmen- tation.
Figure 12: Status display flashes orange during failure message. If a failure message is displayed by the remOVE DC Impulse, acoustic contact de- tection between instrument and clip is deactivated. A DC pulse can no longer be generated, and the internal energy storage of the remOVE DC Impulse can no longer be recharged.
