#44 Definitions for ACTIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL-oriented and ACTIVE ACCESSORY-oriented

[Martin]

For a precise definition the behavior of devices following the different approaches, we need a definition of the terms in order to use them in requirements.

**First draft: **

ACTIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL-oriented HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT: The operating concept of the HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT, including configurable parameters and read-only parameters, is based on the ACTIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL.

Note - This means that for the majority of interactions, the ACTIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL is the leading instance in contrast to the ACTIVE ACCESSORY having a lesser role.

ACTIVE ACCESSORY-oriented HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT: The operating concept of the HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT, including configurable parameters and read-only parameters, is based on the ACTIVE ACCESSORY.

Note - This means that for the majority of interactions, the ACTIVE ACCESSORY if the leading instance in contrast to the ACTIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL having a lesser role. The ACTIVE ACCESSORY is not necessarily connected to the HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT while configuration.

[Stephan Klöckner]

ACTIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL-oriented HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT: The operating concept of the HF SURGICAL Generator.
The Terminal is direct linked to the generator and independen from the Equipment. This should be stated clear within the definition.

Add note to definition "ACTIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL-oriented HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT":

Note 2 – The ACTIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL is always a part of the HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT.

Consolidated version of the definition

ACTIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL-oriented HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT: The operating concept of the HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT, including configurable parameters and read-only parameters, is based on the ACTIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL and more or less independent from the applied ACTIVE ACCESSORY.

Note 1 - This means that for the majority of interactions, the ACTIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL is the leading instance in contrast to the ACTIVE ACCESSORY having a lesser role.

Note 2 - If there are no ACTIVE ACCESSORY identification functionalities, the ACTIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL-oriented approach is completely independent from the actually attached or intended to be attached ACTIVE ACCESSORY.
If there are ACTIVE ACCESSORY identification functionalities, the ACTIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL-oriented approach can be influenced by the actually attached ACTIVE ACCESSORY. This might lead to restrictions of Output Control Settings.

Note 3 - The ACTIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL is always a part of the HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT.
