Operating the Model 10 RF Controller
A . Automatic mode
To operate the Model 10 RFC in Automatic Mode, press the
“Switch Mode” button when it appears at the bottom of the
screen . Proceed to step 2 .36, but do not follow step 2 .37 if
operating the system in automatic mode .
B . Manual mode
NOTE: Manual Mode is the default system operation .
To operate the system in manual mode, do not press the “Switch
Mode” button prior to beginning the cavity integrity assessment
(CIA) . Follow steps 2 .36 and 2 .37 .
2 .36 Begin the CIA procedure by stepping on the foot switch once .
“Cavity Assessment in Progress” will display on the screen while
five dots light off and on sequentially . The duration of the test
will range between approximately 7 and 30 seconds . A “Cavity
Assessment Complete” screen displays when the CIA has passed
and the system can deliver RF energy . Power cannot be applied to
the disposable device until the CIA Complete screen displays .
If the cavity integrity assessment fails, a screen will display
“Cavity Assessment Failure” with troubleshooting steps .
A . If a perforation is suspected, the procedure should be
terminated immediately .
B . If the CIA test fails again, check for leaks in the system, and
between the cervix and cervical collar . Be sure to check all tubing
connections, and ensure that a suction line desiccant has been
installed . If the leak appears to be at the cervix and cannot be
resolved by using the cervical collar, use another tenaculum
to grasp the cervix around the sheath . Repeat the CIA test by
pressing the foot switch .
NOTE:
CO
2
leakage may occur at the external cervical os due to the
presence of an over-dilated cervix . Visible bubbles or the “hissing”
sound of escaping gas may accompany CO
2
leakage under either of
these conditions .
C . If the cavity integrity assessment fails after reasonable attempts to
implement the troubleshooting procedures (step 2 .36), abort the
procedure .
NOTE:
Removing the disposable device from the uterine cavity after
completing a cavity integrity assessment will require an additional
CIA test to be performed upon disposable device re-insertion
(whether or not the CIA previously passed) prior to initiating an
ablation .
2 .37
Manual Mode Only
When operating the system in manual mode, the ablation cycle
will not start automatically after the successfully completion of the
cavity integrity assessment (CIA) . Once a successful CIA has been
completed, press the ENABLE button and depress the foot switch a
second time to initiate the ablation cycle .
NOTE:
In all Model 10 RF controllers, a vacuum pre-check occurs
automatically prior to initiation of the ablation cycle . A “Vacuum
Check in Progress” screen will appear and an audible tone will be
heard for up to 10 seconds during the vacuum pre-check .
During the ablation cycle, an “RF ON” screen with a timer will
appear to track the duration of the ablation .
NOTE:
RF power delivery can be stopped at any time by pressing
the foot switch .
2 .38 After automatic termination of the ablation cycle (approximately 90
seconds), fully retract the cervical collar to its proximal position by
using the tab on the cervical collar .
CAUTION:
The cervical collar must be fully retracted to its proximal
position in order to minimize the potential for damage to the sheath
when closing the array .
