NovaSure disposable device 

1 .   The NovaSure disposable device is a Class III device by FDA 

regulation .

2 .   The NovaSure disposable device is a Class IIB device according to 

the MDD 93/42/EEC .

3 .   The NovaSure disposable device tip nominal diameter: 6 mm .
4 .   The NovaSure disposable device overall dimensions:  

19” x 6” x 12” (48 .3 cm x 15 .2 cm x 5 cm) .

5 .  The NovaSure disposable device has a voltage rating of 153 V .

NovaSure RF controller 

1 .  The NovaSure RF controller is a Class I, defibrillator-proof Type BF 

instrument, according to IEC 60601-1 .

2 .  The NovaSure RF controller is a Class III device by FDA regulation .
3 .  The NovaSure RF controller is a Class IIB device according to the 

MDD 93/42/EEC .

4 .  The RF controller has been tested and found to comply with the 

limits for medical devices according to IEC 60601-1-2 . These limits 
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 
interference in a typical medical installation . This equipment 
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not 
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause 
harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity . However, there 
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 
installation . If this equipment does cause harmful interference to 
other devices, which can be determined by turning the equipment off 
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by 
one or more of the following measures:

• Re-orient or relocate the receiving device
• Increase the separation between equipment
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that 

to which the other device(s) is/are connected .

• Contact Hologic Technical Support (or the manufacturer of the other 

equipment) for assistance .

5 .  The controller meets the requirements of IEC 60601-1/UL 60601-1, 

IEC 60601-2-2 and CSA C22 .2 No .601 .1 .

6 .  Shipment of the controller should be done only in the original Hologic 

packaging . Environmental requirements for use, shipping and 
storage are indicated below .

7 .  The absolute maximum peak voltage generated by the 

NovaSure  RF controller is 153 volts . Accessories used with the 
RF controller should have a voltage rating equal to or greater than 
153 volts .

8 .  The absolute maximum peak power generated by the 

NovaSure  RF controller is 216 watts .

9 .  NovaSure  RF controller weight: 24 lbs (11 kg), unpacked .
10 . Height: 12 .5”; Width: 7 .5”; Depth: 14 .5”  

(32 cm x 19 cm x 35 .5 cm) .

11 . The maximum pressure of CO

2

 delivered from the NovaSure 

RF controller and disposable device shall be 90 ± 10 mmHg .
The maximum flow rate of CO

2

 from the NovaSure RF controller 

connected to the disposable device shall be 95 ± 15 ml/
min . (The maximum flow rate of CO

2

 from the NovaSure  RF 

controller without a NovaSure disposable device attached is 
117 ± 13 ml/ min .)

12 . The NovaSure RF Generator should be used without a neutral 

electrode .
