inStallation
Inspect the RF Generator for any signs of physical damage to the front panel,
chassis, or cover. If physical damage is found, DO NOT USE THE GENERATOR;
contact Boston Scientific. All returned units/parts must be approved by
Boston Scientific prior to return.
PRePaRation FoR uSe
The RF Generator may be placed on a mounting cart, a sturdy table or platform.
Refer to hospital procedures or local codes for detailed information.
Provide at least four to six inches (10-15 cm) of space around the rear, sides and
top of the generator for convection cooling. DO NOT obstruct the fan vents on the
rear panel. If under continuous use for extended periods of time, it is normal for
the top and rear panel to become warm.

connection to mainS PoweR

A hospital-grade mains power cord is shipped with the RF Generator. Do not use
extension cords or three-prong to two-prong adapters. Connect equipment to input
power at 100-120V~ or 220-240V~ at 50-60Hz with medically approved ground. Ensure
that the fuse block and voltage selector switch (see "Rear Panel" section) are in the
proper positions with respect to mains voltage. Operating the generator with these
items in the wrong position could damage the instrument and void the warranty.
WARNING! To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be
connected to a supply mains with protective earth.

GeneRal cleaninG inStRuctionS

CAUTION! Do not spray or pour cleaners or any other liquids on the RF generator.
Use a mild detergent and damp cloth to clean the generator cover, front panel,
controls and power cable. The RF generator cannot be sterilized. Do not allow fluids
to enter the chassis. The generator may be disinfected using an alcohol solution applied
with a cloth. Non flammable agents should be used for cleaning and disinfection wherever
possible. Flammable agents used for cleaning and disinfecting, or as solvents of adhesives,
should be allowed to evaporate before the application of RF 3000™ Generator surgery.
Also, attention should be called to the danger of ignition of endogenous gases.

electRomaGnetic inteRFeRence

WARNING! The use of electrosurgical devices can cause electromagnetic interference
(EMI) in other devices, particularly cardiac pacemakers. Precautions should be taken
to ensure that the patient's well-being is maintained in the event of such interference.
If EMI appears to be a problem, changing the exact routing of the active or dispersive
electrode wires or re-applying the diagnostic sensors (such as ECG leads or oximetry sensors)
at a better location (usually farther from the electrodes) can eliminate interference.
