Periodic Maintenance and Service
There is no service manual for the NovaSure RF Controller since there
are no field serviceable components within the unit.
WARNING: No modification of this equipment is allowed.

Periodic maintenance

The RF controller has been designed and tested to meet IEC
60601-1 and other safety standards. Maintenance is not required
as the system performs self-checks when power is turned on.To
clean the controller refer to the "Cleaning and Sanitizing" section.
RF power output test
The NovaSure RF controller Model 10 integrates automatic power
output testing in a power on self test (POST). During the POST the
controller's power output (Pc) is delivered into a shunt resistor (Rs)
located inside the controller. Pc is targeted to be 180 watts and Rs
is nominally 25 ohms. During the POST, no power is delivered to
the disposable device connector at the front of the controller.
The NovaSure RF controller Model 10 performs POST
automatically upon power up. To access POST information, go to
Settings and scroll to System Information. Press the "View Info."
button.
NOTE: If a system fault occurs during the POST, toggle off the
power at the power input module and repeat the POST. If a
system fault occurs a second time, remove the RF controller
from service and contact Hologic customer service.

are suspected. Follow the troubleshooting guide in this
manual. If problems persist, call Hologic Technical Support for
instructions.
