Caution

U.S. federal law restricts the ClosureRFG generator to sale by or on the order of a physician.

Important

Prior to using the Covidien ClosureRFG radiofrequency generator, read this manual and review the 
warnings and cautions in it for important safety information.

The ClosureRFG generator is a product of Covidien. It is designed to provide controlled 
delivery of radiofrequency (RF) energy to RF catheters marketed by Covidien.

The ClosureRFG generator is for use with Covidien ClosureFast™ endovenous 
radiofrequency catheters and Covidien ClosureRFS™ endovenous radiofrequency stylets. 
Throughout this manual, the term “catheter” generally refers to both compatible 
ClosureFast catheters and ClosureRFS stylets that can be attached to the ClosureRFG 
generator.

Important

Please refer to the instructions for use included with the RF catheters for more information, such 
as clinical procedures, cautions, warnings, precautions, potential complications, and 
contraindications.

Additional technical details for the ClosureRFG generator are contained in Chapter
