Manual Mode - Hologic Nova Sure 08 RF Mode D'emploi Et Manuel

ENGLISH
Operating the Model 08-09 RF Controllers
A. Automatic mode
To operate the system in automatic mode, press the ENABLE
button prior to beginning the Cavity Integrity Assessment (CIA).
Proceed to step 2.36, but do not follow step 2.37 if operating the
system in automatic mode.
B. Manual mode
To operate the system in the manual mode, do not press the
ENABLE button prior to beginning the Cavity Integrity Assessment
(CIA). Follow steps 2.36 and 2.37.
2.36 Begin the CIA procedure by stepping on the foot switch once.
The CAVITY ASSESSMENT LED flashes green in conjunction with
an audible tone at a rate of once per second when the system
is performing a CIA. The duration of the test will range between
approximately 7 and 30 seconds. A steady green LED appears
when the CIA has passed and the system can deliver RF energy.
Power cannot be applied to the disposable device until the CAVITY
ASSESSMENT LED is a steady green light.
If the cavity integrity assessment fails, then the CAVITY
ASSESSMENT LED on the NovaSure RF controller will flash red,
and a rapid audible tone will sound at a rate of four times per
second.
If the cavity integrity assessment fails, press the foot switch to stop the
sound. Next:
A. If a perforation is suspected, the procedure should be terminated
immediately.
B. If the CIA test fails again, check for leaks in the system, and between
the cervix and cervical collar. Be sure to check all tubing connections,
and ensure that a suction line desiccant has been installed. If the
leak appears to be at the cervix and cannot be resolved by using the
cervical collar, use another tenaculum to grasp the cervix around the
sheath. Repeat the CIA by pressing the foot switch.
NOTE: CO leakage may occur at the external cervical os due to the
2
presence of an over-dilated cervix. Visible bubbles or the "hissing"
sound of escaping gas may accompany CO
these conditions.
C. If the cavity integrity assessment fails after reasonable attempts to
implement the troubleshooting procedures (step 2.36), abort the
procedure.
NOTE: Removing the disposable device from the uterine cavity after
completing a cavity integrity assessment will require an additional
CIA test to be performed upon disposable device re-insertion
(whether or not the CIA previously passed) prior to initiating an
ablation.
2.37 Manual mode only
When operating the system in manual mode, the ablation cycle
will not start automatically after the successful completion of the
CIA. Once a successful CIA has been completed, press the ENABLE
button and depress the foot switch a second time to initiate the
ablation cycle.
NOTE: In some Model 09 RF controllers, a vacuum pre-check
occurs automatically prior to initiation of the ablation cycle. The
VACUUM LED will flash and an audible tone will be heard for up to
10 seconds during the vacuum pre-check.
During the ablation cycle, a blue RF ON LED will illuminate. At the
completion of the ablation cycle, the RF power delivery (RF ON
LED), as well as suction, will switch off automatically. The physician
can stop the progress of the procedure at any time by depressing
the foot switch.
NOTE: RF power delivery can be stopped at any time by pressing
the foot switch
2.38 After automatic termination of the ablation cycle (approximately
90 seconds), fully retract the cervical collar by using the tab on
the cervical collar. Fully retract the cervical collar by sliding it to its
proximal position.
