Scientific Dosage Control (SDC)

The device includes Scientific Dosage Control (SDC), which adds two intermediate dosage settings within the traditional Dose III category:

• Dose III SDC M

• Dose III SDC H

These increments provide additional steps between commonly used wattage levels for more precise dosage selection.
