RF3000 Radio Frequency Generator
The RF 3000 Radio Frequency (RF) Generator is intended for thermal coagulation of soft tissue with electrodes separately cleared by the United States FDA. The generator delivers an isolated RF output of up to 200 watts to the electrode. Full power is available in the impedance range of 25Ω to 100Ω at a constant RF voltage; lower powers are available outside this range. Power can be adjusted manually; however, changes in load impedance will change the actual power delivered (a safety feature described more fully in “Passive Power Limitation”). When power is on, actual delivered RF power and impedance are displayed. The Operation and Service Manual is intended as an instructional guide only.
LeVeen Needle Electrode Family
INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS FOR USE
The LeVeen Needle Electrode Family is intended to be used in conjunction with the RF 3000 Generator for the thermal coagulation necrosis of soft tissues, including partial or complete ablation of nonresectable liver lesions. These procedures should only be performed by physicians and staff familiar with the equipment and techniques involved.
WARNINGS
The colored insulated cannula must be used at all times when accessing tissue. Use of the electrode without the colored insulated cannula may result in serious burns to the patient and/or user.
Damage to the insulation of the introducer may result in serious burns to the patient and/or user.
Precaution: The LeVeen Needle Electrode Family must be used in conjunction with the Boston Scientific RF 3000 ™ Generator.
For patients with permanent pacemakers and Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators (ICD) additional precautions should be taken.
