Instructions (continued)
To Control RF Output
WARNINGS:
• To prevent patient burn injury, make sure the electrode is fully inserted
into the cannula.
• Before creating a lesion, use the motor stimulation procedure to ensure
motor nerves are not in the vicinity of the active electrode/cannula tip.
Failure to comply may result in patient motor nerve destruction.
• When attempting PULSE RF lesion creation, inadvertent selection of the
THERMAL RF button may result in undesired tissue damage and result in
patient injury.
• DO NOT touch the metal wire of the electrode during the lesion creation
process. RF energy output does not require the continuous activation of
user input. Once the lesion creation process has been initiated, the RF
output will remain energized until the lesion creation process terminates.
• While RF output is energized during the
THERMAL lesion mode or the
PULSE lesion mode, an unintended neuromuscular stimulation may
occur resulting in an inadvertent muscle contraction.
• If the generator experiences an operational failure, an unintended
increase in RF energy output may occur.
NOTE:
To control RF energy output, see the appropriate procedure
including
To Start Single Electrode(s) (separately or staggered)
section,
To
Start Multiple Electrodes (concurrently)
section, and
To Perform a Parallel
Bipolar Procedure
section.
To Start Single Electrode(s) - separately or staggered:
1. Ensure the RF energy output setting values have been adjusted as
required. See
To Edit RF Output Settings
section.
2. Verify the actual temperature value displayed is approximately 37°C
(body temperature) and the impedance value displayed is within a
normal range for the procedure. Ensure the electrode identifier number
corresponds to the desired tagged electrode.
3. Touch and confirm the START button to apply RF energy output (see
figure 22). The electrode identifier number will flash and an audible beep
will be heard to indicate the application of RF energy output (see figures
23 and 24).
4. If RF energy output must be removed before the end of the HOLD TIME
period, touch the STOP ALL button. The STOP ALL button will remove RF
energy output from all active electrodes.
5. To start an additional active electrode, select the appropriate procedure
tab and repeat the steps above. An additional electrode can be activated
at anytime during an active procedure. To start multiple electrodes
concurrently, see
To Start Multiple Electrodes (concurrently)
section.
NOTE:
An additional electrode may be connected to the generator while
a procedure is in progress. However, the additional electrode will not be
available for set up or the application of energy until the procedure in
progress is complete.
