I. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Reusable RFP-100A connector cable connects the Baylis Medical Company
RFP-100A Radiofrequency Puncture Generator (RFP-100A Generator) to Baylis
Medical approved radiofrequency puncture devices.
radiofrequency (RF) power to be delivered from the Generator to the puncture
device.
Detailed information concerning the RFP-100A Generator is contained in a
separate manual that accompanies the Generator (RFP-100A Generator
Instructions for Use). In addition, detailed information concerning the RF puncture
devices is contained in separate manuals that accompany these devices.
The dimensions for the Reusable RFP-100A connector cable can be found on the
device label and in section VII "Product Specifications." The Reusable RFP-100A
connector cable has a four-pin connector on one end that mates with the RFP-
100A Generator and a connector at the other end, which mates with the puncture
device.
II. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The intended use of the Reusable RFP-100A connector cable is to connect the
RFP-100A Generator to Baylis Medical approved puncture devices (RF puncture
devices).
III. CONTRAINDICATIONS
The Reusable RFP-100A connector cable is not recommended for use with any
other RF generator or any other device.
IV. WARNINGS

The Reusable RFP-100A connector cable is a reusable device. Only use
the validated cleaning and sterilization methods as described in section XI
"Cleaning and Sterilization Instructions" to clean and sterilize the Connector
Cable. No other cleaning and sterilization methods have been tested.
Failure to properly clean and sterilize the device can cause patient injury
and/or the communication of infectious disease(s) from one patient to
another.

The Reusable RFP-100A connector cable must only be used with the RFP-
100A Generator and RF puncture devices. Attempts to use it with other RF
Generators and devices can result in electrocution of the patient and/or
operator.

Laboratory staff and patients can undergo significant x-ray exposure during
radiofrequency puncture procedures due to the continuous usage of
fluoroscopic imaging. This exposure can result in acute radiation injury as
well as increased risk for somatic and genetic effects. Therefore, adequate
measures must be taken to minimize this exposure.

V. PRECAUTIONS

Do not attempt to use the Reusable RFP-100A connector cable or ancillary
equipment before thoroughly reading the accompanying Instructions for Use.

Puncture procedures should be performed only by physicians thoroughly
trained in the techniques of radiofrequency powered puncture in a fully
equipped catheterization laboratory.

The sterile packaging should be visually inspected prior to use to detect any
compromise. Ensure that the packaging has not been damaged. Do not use
the equipment if the packaging has been compromised.

Visually inspect the cable to ensure there is no cracking or damage to the
insulating material. Do not use the cable if there is any damage.

The Reusable RFP-100A connector cable is intended for use with RF
puncture devices only.

Never disconnect the Reusable RFP-100A connector cable from the RFP-
100A Generator while the Generator is delivering RF power.

Never disconnect the Reusable RFP-100A connector cable from the RFP-
100A Generator by pulling on the cable. Failure to disconnect the cable
properly may result in damage to the cable.

Do not twist the Reusable RFP-100A connector cable while inserting or
removing it from the Isolated Patient Connector on the Generator. Twisting
the cable may result in damage to the pin connectors.

Do not bend the cable. Excessive bending or kinking of the cable may
damage the integrity of the cable and may cause patient injury. Care must
be taken when handling the cable.

Take precautions to limit the effects that the electromagnetic interference
(EMI) produced by the Generator may have on the performance of other
equipment. Check the compatibility and safety of combinations of other
physiological monitoring and electrical apparatus to be used on the patient
in addition to the Generator.

Adequate filtering must be used to allow continuous monitoring of the surface
electrocardiogram (ECG) during radiofrequency power applications.

During power delivery, the patient should not be allowed to come in contact
with ground metal surfaces.

In order to prevent the risk of ignition make sure that flammable material is
not present in the room during RF power application.
Baylis Medical Company relies on the physician to determine, assess and
communicate to each individual patient all foreseeable risks of the Baylis Medical
Radiofrequency Puncture System.

X. DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Once the RF puncture device is properly positioned at the puncture site, and the
Generator is properly set up (following the instructions in the RFP-100A Generator
Instructions for Use), the Reusable RFP-100A connector cable can be used to
connect the catheter or wire to the Generator.
1. Connect the generator connector end of the cable to the isolated patient
connector port on the RFP-100A Generator as per the Generator Instructions
for Use. The generator connector end of the cable can be identified by the
blue strain relief (the device connector end has a black strain relief). The
Reusable RFP-100A connector cable uses a circular connector, keyed for
proper alignment. Gently line up the connector pins with the socket and push
in until the connector fits firmly into the socket. Any attempt to connect the
cable otherwise will damage the pins on the connector.
2. Do not use excessive force in connecting the cable to the generator. Use of
excessive force may result in damage to the connector pins.
3. Connect the device connector end of the cable to the RF Puncture Device.
The Reusable RFP-100A connector cable uses a circular connector, keyed
for proper alignment. Gently line up the connector pins with the RF Puncture
Device connector and push in until the connector fits firmly into the plug.
4. To disconnect the puncture device from the Connector Cable: Firmly grasp
the catheter connector (receptacle) end of the cable in one hand and gently
pull it straight out of the device connector.
