7.6. TURN THE GENERATOR “ON”

Turn the Generator “ON” by pressing the rocker switch located on the Generator back

panel to the “I” position. The Generator immediately performs a self-test of power

generation, measurement, and control circuitry, as indicated by the progress bar on the

display (POST state). If there are no errors, the Generator enters into the STANDBY state.

If the self-test fails, a tone is sounded and the Generator enters into the FAULT state, where

the red FAULT INDICATOR flashes and an error code is displayed.

If the FAULT state is entered (i.e. a system malfunction is detected during self-test), the

Generator will not operate. To clear any malfunctions found during the self-test, the

Generator power must be cycled (powered “OFF” and then back “ON”) with the self-test

repeated. If the Generator fails again, the Generator will not function properly and the

error code should be recorded. Baylis Medical Company should be contacted for service.

The Generator will NOT operate unless the power on self-tests have been successfully

completed.

If the dispersive electrode is disconnected or a dual foil dispersive electrode is not

adequately applied, the Return Electrode Fault Indicator will illuminate red.

7.7. SET CUT MODE

Set the desired CUT mode as recommended by the BMC RF Device Instructions for Use,

by using the right soft keys to increment ▲ or decrement ▼ through the settings.

Note: The CUT ▲/▼ soft keys are inoperative during RF power delivery.

7.8. SET TIME

Set the desired duration (in seconds) for RF power delivery, as recommended by the BMC

RF Device Instructions for Use, by using the left soft key to increase ▲ or decrease ▼ the

setting.

Note: The TIME ▲/▼ soft keys are inoperative during RF power delivery.

7.9. CONFIRM GENERATOR SETTINGS AND STATE

Prior to delivering RF energy to the BMC RF Device, first check that all the connections

have been made properly and that the TIME and CUT settings are correct. The Generator

should be in READY state if all connections have been properly made. Confirm that all of

the requirements specified in the individual accessories’ Instructions for Use have been

met. Only after all the above conditions are met should one proceed to deliver RF energy.
