Periodic Inspections

Periodic safety inspections of the generator and attached accessories should be performed
by persons who, based on their training, knowledge, and practical experience, are capable
of adequately testing and assessing the safety and functionality of the generator.
Visual Inspection
1. Instruction manual present.
2. Labels, cautions, or warnings placed correctly and in all required locations.
3. No apparent external mechanical damage to the generator, connectors, accessories,
or wiring.
Operating Test
1. Self-test diagnostic upon start-up, includes self-calibration of measurement circuitry.
2. Footswitch operation.
3. Front control panel; keys and displays.
WARNING: If power on self test (POST) reveals a defect that could harm the
patient, employees, or third parties, the generator should not be used until it has been
properly repaired or serviced. The operator must immediately notify the AtriCure
representative of the defect.

Figure 10. RF Generator Front Panel Display Entering "Power Control Mode"
From Standby, when the user presses the "MODE" button, the generator passes a self-
test. If the self-diagnostic tests don't detect an Error code, the generator then enters
POWER CONTROL MODE (in this mode, the RF ON/OFF LED is blinking).
As displayed in the drawing above, the impedance measurement is Open Circuit (OC)
because the device and the indifferent electrode is not connected. The generator Power
is set to 4 W and Time is set to 0.
Figure 11. RF Generator Front Panel Display in "Power Control \ Ready
State"
From POWER CONTROL MODE the generator enters a Ready State.
Note: An indifferent electrode and coagulation device are connected to the
generator and placed on the patient.
"RF ON/OFF" LED is not activated, but will be blinking.
When the user attaches a device, the generator detects device type and presets
information.
Refer to the Instructions for Use of the coagulation devices for the pre-set power and
time.
