DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The RFP-100A Connector Cable (Single Use) connects the Baylis Medical Company RFP-100A
Radiofrequency Puncture Generator (RFP-100A Generator) to Baylis Medical approved
radiofrequency puncture devices. This Cable enables 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 separately cleared compatible RF devices is contained in separate
manuals that accompany these devices.
The dimensions for the RFP-100A Connector Cable (Single Use) can be found in the Product
Specifications section and on the device label. The RFP-100A Connector Cable (Single Use)
has a 3-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.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The intended use of the RFP-100A Connector Cable (Single Use) is to connect the RFP-100A
Generator to separately cleared compatible RF devices.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The RFP-100A Connector Cable (Single Use) is not recommended for use with any other RF
generator or any other device.
WARNINGS

The RFP-100A Connector Cable (Single Use) is a single use device. It should not be
cleaned, re-sterilized or re-used. Reuse can cause the patient injury and/or the
communication of infectious disease(s) from one patient to another.

The RFP-100A Connector Cable (Single Use) must only be used with the RFP-100A
Generator and separately cleared compatible RF 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.
PRECAUTIONS

Do not attempt to use the RFP-100A Connector Cable (Single Use) or ancillary equipment
before thoroughly reading the accompanying Instructions for Use.

Puncture procedures should be performed only by physicians and medical professionals
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.

Observe all contraindications, warnings and

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 RFP-100A Connector Cable (Single Use) is intended for use with separately cleared
compatible RF devices only.

Never disconnect the RFP-100A Connector Cable (Single Use) from the RFP-100A
Generator while the Generator is delivering RF power.

Never disconnect the RFP-100A Connector Cable (Single Use) 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 RFP-100A Connector Cable (Single Use) 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 RFP-100A BMC Radiofrequency Puncture
Generator, connector cables and separately cleared compatible RF devices.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Puncture procedures should be performed in a specialized clinical setting which may be
equipped with a fluoroscopy unit, radiographic table, physiologic recorder, emergency
equipment and instrumentation for gaining vascular access.
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
RFP-100A Connector Cable (Single Use) 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 end of the
cable can be identified by the blue backnut on the plug connector. The RFP-100A Connector
Cable (Single Use) 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 RFP-100A
Connector Cable (Single Use) 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. Any attempt to connect the cable otherwise will damage the
pins on the connector.
4. To disconnect the puncture device from the Connector Cable, grasp the device connector
firmly and gently pull it straight out of the connector cable socket.
5. To disconnect the cable from the generator, grasp the connector firmly and gently pull it
straight out of the socket.
6. Dispose of the connector cable along with other biohazardous single use devices in
accordance with local or national regulations and in compliance with standard hospital
procedures.
