in which ZO is an impedance at a beginning of the treatment time, and Zactual is an impedance at a time t during the treatment time, and t0−tactual is the time elapsed from the beginning of the treatment time; and
varying the power or current to maintain the % impedance slope within a predetermined range during the second portion of the treatment time.
