RF Probe
A slender, flexible surgical instrument used to deliver stimulation and RF output to
bodily organs or tissues.
STANDBY
State of the Generator when a valid probe must be connected prior to proceeding to
the applicable READY state for the probe.
STATE
A function of the Generator where a basic task is performed. For instance, the
READY state for any mode allows settings to be changed and allows RF energy to
be initiated. The states of the Generator include STANDBY, PLACEMENT, READY, ON,
DONE, ADVANCED SETTINGS.
STIM RATE
A setting that applies to VOLTAGE STIMULATION and CURRENT STIMULATION
modes. It describes the number of stimulus pulses delivered in a second, and is
measured in Hz.
Stylet
A fine wire that is run through a cannula, to keep it stiff or clear of debris.
Switching Cable
Either of TDX-BAY-TSW (TRANSDISCAL* Switching Cable) or PMX-BAY-RSW
(RFA Switching Cable), used to aid in the placement of secondary probes or
thermocouples.
TC
Thermocouple
TD
TRANSDISCAL
TDP
TRANSDISCAL* Probe
TDP A
TRANSDISCAL* Probe A
TDP B
TRANSDISCAL* Probe B
TEMP
Temperature
Thermocouple
A thermoelectric device used to measure temperatures accurately, consisting of two
dissimilar metals.
TRUE-TX Ramp
Time Extension
A feature that will maintain the time at the Set Temperature and generate a
notification if probes are in a configuration that prevents the set temperature from
being reached in the specified Ramp Time.
Y-Cable
Any of TDX-Y-TSW-TDP (TRANSDISCAL* Y-Cable), resembling the characteristic
shape of the letter “Y”.
