Export—RF Treatment Data Storage
Using Memory Cards
Memory Cards (USB devices and SD cards) can store data from recent procedures and log
generator errors. The USB port is intended for the use only with a single, un-powered USB
2.0 storage device.Covidien supplies the SD card.
Caution
Proper ESD precautionary procedures should be used when handling, inserting, or removing a
memory device. The USB and SD ports are for use only by trained personnel.
Do not insert a memory device during RF treatment.
Before handling the memory device, discharge any static electricity by touching the metal ground
of the ClosureRFG radiofrequency generator (the ground lug on the back). Alternatively, use an
ESD wrist strap to bond to the ClosureRFG generator’s ground lug or to a known earth ground.
This is important to avoid electrostatic discharge damage to the memory device.
All personnel who handle the memory device should receive an explanation of the ESD
warning symbol and training in ESD precautionary procedures. This includes clinical/
biomedical engineering and health-care staff. At minimum, this training should include:
• An introduction to the physics of electrostatic charge
• The voltage levels that can occur in normal practice
• The damage that can be done to electronic components when equipment is touched
by an operator who is electrostatically charged
• How and why to discharge one’s body to earth or to the frame of the ClosureRFG
generator, or bond oneself by means of a wrist strap to the ClosureRFG generator or
to earth prior to handling the memory device
USB Devices
A USB device is used for saving RF-treatment summary data, as seen on the treatment-
history screen.
Export RF Treatment Data to USB
To export treatment summary data to a USB device
1. Use a tool, such as a small screwdriver, to carefully pry off the rubber port cover on the
left side panel.
2. Insert any compatible USB media into the ClosureRFG radiofrequency generator USB
port. Allow a few seconds as the system maps the USB device.
3. On the standby screen, press the Treatment History button
in the lower-right
corner.
