Instructions (continued)
To Start A Procedure
WARNINGS:
• Ensure the length of the electrode and cannula match by verifying the
electrode color and cannula hub color are the same.
• Fully insert the electrode into the cannula to ensure the electrode tip
is at the end of the cannula. Failure to comply may prevent proper
temperature control.
• DO NOT reuse single use cannulae.
• DO NOT position the cannula tip in a blood vessel or bone. Failure
to comply will cause the formation of a blood clot and may result in
temperature overshoot.
• If using multiple electrodes, ensure the electrode identifier number on
the procedure tab indicating the impedance value corresponds to the
number of the cable identification tag on the electrode placed in the
treatment site.
• DO NOT place multiple electrodes/cannulae close together to create
a single large lesion when using a monopolar configuration. ALWAYS
use one electrode/cannula to create one lesion. Failure to comply may
cause temperature overshoot errors or a lesion with an unpredictable
size and shape.
• When inserted, ALWAYS ensure the portion of the cannula’s distal tip
that is not insulated is NOT visible above the surface of the skin.
1. To start a procedure, touch the USE DEFAULT SETTINGS button to
use system procedure values or the SELECT SAVED PROCEDURE
button to use saved procedure values (see figure 10). If the USE
DEFAULT SETTINGS button is selected, see
To Change System
Settings: Procedure Default Settings
section
if required. If the SELECT
SAVED PROCEDURE button is selected, see
To Save or Access Saved
Procedure Settings
section
to create, edit, or select a folder/file for a
procedure.
2. Under the guidance of X-ray or fluoroscopic technology, place the
cannula tip in the target nerve tissue area.
NOTE:
Fluoroscopic dye may be injected to facilitate the correct
placement of the electrode/cannula tip in proximity to the target nerve
tissue.
3. Remove the stylet from the cannula.
4. Place the electrode into the cannula and ensure its full insertion. Verify
the impedance value displayed for the placed electrode/cannula is in the
normal range.
5. If performing sensory or motor stimulation, ensure the frequency, width,
and initial amplitude setting values have been adjusted as required. See
To Edit Sensory or Motor Stimulation Settings
section. Otherwise, see
To
Perform Sensory or Motor Stimulation
section.
