This section lists the basic procedure steps of the Prostiva RF
Therapy procedure and the detailed instructions for the radio
frequency treatment. The basic procedure steps are based on the
system diagram shown on the inside base of the Model 8930
Radio Frequency Generator. It includes the procedure steps from
the preparation instructions outlined in the previous sections, as
well as those outlined in this section.
The following table outlines the basic procedure steps shown on
the radio frequency generator system diagram on the inside top of
the case (Table 4-4 on page 73).
Warning: Do not route the hand piece radio frequency cable
so that it contacts the patient. Accidental damage to a cable in
contact with the patient can result in low system output, failure
of the system to function properly, or patient injury (eg, burns).
Warning: Do not use the hand piece, or temporarily store it on
a table, until you have confirmed that the trigger mechanism
is fully forward. Failure to place the trigger mechanism into the
needles-fully-retracted position can leave the needles and
shields partially deployed. This can result in possible personal
injury if the needles come in contact with the patient or others.
