Setting up the Acessa ProVu System
9.1.
Connecting System Components
•
Verify that components have been checked and sterilized as described in §7.
9.2.
Before Patient Arrives
•
Before Patient arrives set up appropriate Field Generator.
•
Acessa Table Top Field Generator (TTFG) setup: remove the standard OR table pads from the OR table first.
•
Place the TTFG Pads (MS-26-0022) on the OR Table.
•
Place the TTFG inside of the TTFG pad.
•
Position the TTFG and Table pads configuration, end with the TTFG closest to the end of the pads, aligned with the
break in the bed.
•
Place and align the remaining pads to cover the remainder of the exposed OR table.
•
Next replace the standard OR table pads back on top of the TTFG pads by aligning the adjoining velcro strip of the OR
pads accordingly with the TTFG and Table pads configuration.
•
Plug the TTFG Cable into the TTFG Cable port.
•
Connect the supplied medical grade power cord into the Console at Port R on the rear panel, and then to the wall outlet.
•
Connect the Video Cable to Port S on the rear panel and the other end to a 1920 x 1080p hospital-owned accessory
monitor. A screen size of 27 inches
minimum
is recommended.
9.3.
Patient Preparation
•
Remove a set of Pads from its pouch. Leave the Mylar covers intact over the gel and connect the pigtail cables to the
wye of the pads cable. Ensure that the pad marked “R” is connected to the wye marked “R” and similarly “L” to “L” for
the other pad. Affix the Return Pads to the patient per the Pad IFU (PL-01-0015). Consult Pads Instruction for Use for
prep of patient and proper Pads placement.
•
Apply the Pads per the figure below. The Pads must be
used with the Acessa ProVu System. The entire surface
area of the Pads must be reliably attached to the patient’s
body.
•
The leading edge of the Pads should be between 25cm
and 50cm from the ablation site.
•
If desired temperatures are not achieved when RF energy
is delivered, check that the Pads have been placed
according to the Instructions for Use. Proper Pads placement is essential to a successful Acessa procedure.
•
Prepare the patient using the standard technique for electrosurgery. The patient’s entire body, including extremities,
must be insulated against contacts with metal parts which are earthed or which have an appreciable capacitance to
earth (for example operating table supports, etc.). The operating table should be grounded, and sufficient layers of
electrically insulated sheets should be placed underneath the patient. The use of antistatic sheeting is recommended
for this purpose. A waterproof cover should be placed over the insulating sheets, with absorbent sheets placed
between the patient and the waterproof cover to absorb any moisture.
•
Connect the Pad Cable to the Console at Port L.
Caution: The TTFG
must be
oriented with the connector port opposite the side of the surgeon. Refer to the labels on
the sides of the TTFG for proper orientation.
WARNING: Skin burns may occur if the Pads are not placed as instructed.
