ClosureRFG Radiofrequency Generator

Ready-to-Treat Screen

RF Power:

 Indicates RF power actively applied to the catheter.

Treatment Summary:

 Indicates the total time and number of treatment cycles since 

reset, power on, or change of catheter, as minutes:seconds.

ClosureFast Catheter Gauges

Data Display with Gauges

Gauges indicate the measured parameter and whether the catheter’s parameters 
(temperature and RF power) are within acceptable ranges. If a parameter is outside the 
advisory limits, its gauge brightens within the red area or lights only the blue area, a 
message is displayed, and a tone is sounded.
