SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Preventative Inspection
• WARNING: Damage such as frayed cords or cables and cracks or dents on the equipment may result in
electrical shock.
• Caution: BSC recommends that the RF Generator and Remote be powered off at the end of each
procedure in order to ensure that the self-test is performed before the next procedure.
During the useful life of the equipment, maintain close watch for damage such as frayed cords or cables
and cracks or dents on the equipment. If damage is identified, take the equipment out of service and contact
Boston Scientific Corporation for service requirements.
Functional Self-Test
System does not require periodic preventative maintenance and calibration. Upon start up, the unit performs
self-test per OPERATION Start-up Section of this manual. For further details refer to that section.
System Servicing
None of the System components are user-serviceable. Contact Boston Scientific Corporation for all service
requirements.
Cleaning/Disinfecting
• WARNING: Do not immerse the Generator, the Remote, or accessories in any liquid.
• WARNING: Use of non-flammable cleaning and disinfection agents is recommended. If used, flammable
agents or solvents should be allowed to evaporate before high-frequency surgery. There is a risk of
pooling of flammable solutions under the PATIENT or in body depressions such as the umbilicus, and
in body cavities such as the vagina. Any fluid pooled in these areas should be mopped up before HF
SURGICAL EQUIPMENT is used.
• Caution: The Generator, Pod, Remote, Footswitch, power cords, and communication cables are not
intended to be sterilized and should remain outside of the sterile field.
The outer surfaces of the Generator, the Pod, the Remote and their accessories may be wiped clean with a mild
soapy solution. Isopropyl alcohol may be used to clean the outer surfaces. Avoid caustic or abrasive cleaners.
