Error Codes—Generator
Error Codes—Generator
If a ClosureRFG radiofrequency generator system error occurs, the screen displays an error
code. An error is one of two types: unrecoverable or recoverable.
• Unrecoverable errors stop the ClosureRFG generator and the ClosureRFG generator
must be power cycled
– Turn off the unit, wait a few seconds, and then turn on the unit.
– If the problem persists, contact Covidien Customer Service or a local distributor.
• Recoverable errors need only to be acknowledged when the error message appears on
the screen. The ClosureRFG generator should function normally after
acknowledgement.
• Recoverable errors may require the operator to respond to an error message or make
a clinical decision.
Some errors require pressing the Green Check Mark button, after which the ClosureRFG
generator will reboot.
