The radio frequency generator will perform a safety shutdown to
prevent any unsafe operating condition. During a safety
shutdown, RF energy delivery will be stopped and cannot be
initiated again until the condition that caused the safety shutdown
is corrected.
The user interface section page 31 describes the continuous
realtime information that informs the clinician when there is a
safety shutdown that shuts off the radio frequency energy.
The following events occur during a safety shutdown:
Radio frequency energy is terminated
■
■
Blue LEDs turn off
Lesion abort alarm sounds (2 short beeps + 1 long beep)
■
■
An "alert" message displays on the LCD screen and remains
on until the cause is corrected
Applicable digital value (eg, temperature) displays on screen
■
All radio frequency energy controls are inactive until the cause
■
is corrected
Refer to "Shutting Down System, Disconnecting Cables and
Tubing System" on page 81 for instructions on how to disconnect
