ClosureRFG Generator Setup
Installation Requirements
Caution
The ClosureRFG radiofrequency generator must be installed and put into service according to the
guidance provided in this document to ensure proper performance and its electromagnetic
compatibility. If in doubt consult Covidien Customer Service or a local distributor.
The ClosureRFG generator should be used with only a hospital-grade power cord and
plugged into only grounded hospital-grade AC sources.
The ClosureRFG generator requires an AC power source ranging from 100 VAC to
240
VAC, 50 Hz to 60 Hz, at 300 VA.
Mechanical Specifications
• Size: 26.7 cm H x 34 cm W x 17.3 cm D (10.5” x 13.4” x 6.8”)
• Weight: 6.8 kg (15 lb.) maximum
Location and Clearances
The ClosureRFG generator should be installed in a way that enables the operator to
achieve optimal use, access all controls and view the operating screen.
Caution
Do not stack any items on top of the ClosureRFG generator. Doing so could damage the unit.
The ClosureRFG generator should not be used adjacent to other equipment. If stacked or adjacent
use is necessary, the ClosureRFG generator should be observed to verify normal operation in the
configuration in which it is used.
The ClosureRFG generator can generate EMI at any time. Refer to
Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI)
on page 11-8 for cautions and warnings.
The ClosureRFG generator can be placed on any stable cart, table, or platform. Do not
have it located so that it could fall onto a patient. It is recommended that a cart have
conductive wheels and be rated to hold at least 6.8 kg (15 lb.). Refer to facility protocols
and local ordinances for more information.
Provide at least 10 cm to 15 cm (4 in. - 6 in.) of space around the sides and back of the
ClosureRFG generator for air circulation and cooling. After continuous use for extended
periods of time, it is normal for the top to be warm.
