To Previous Page

RF energy delivery is activated when the RF ON/OFF BUTTON is pressed once or when

the footswitch is pressed and held. Pressing the RF ON/OFF BUTTON again or releasing

the footswitch before the timer elapses will terminate RF energy delivery. When RF power

is delivered to the device, the Generator enters the ON state.

If interference with other equipment is suspected, reposition all cables being sure to keep

Generator cables away from monitor equipment cables.

7.11. DEACTIVATE RF POWER DELIVERY

RF energy delivery is terminated and the READY state is entered when either the timer

elapses, when the RF ON/OFF BUTTON is pressed, or when the FOOTSWITCH is

released during the ON state. The RF ON/OFF BUTTON will extinguish and the tone will

no longer sound.

RF energy is also terminated with an ALERT or with an ERROR. If an ALERT terminated

energy delivery, the alert message is displayed for five (5) seconds and the Generator enters

READY state. If an ERROR terminated energy delivery, the error code is displayed, the

FAULT Indicator flashes, and the Generator enters FAULT state. To attempt to exit the

FAULT state, the Generator power must be cycled, after which the sequence of initializing

steps must be performed again from Section 7.7.

Note: If an ERROR is encountered repeatedly, the Generator is not functioning properly

and needs servicing; Contact Baylis Medical Company.

7.12. RE-APPLY RF POWER

To re-apply RF energy, repeat Steps 7.7 through 7.11. Confirm that the dispersive

electrode is properly applied and connected before adjusting to a higher CUT setting.

7.13. PROCEDURE COMPLETE

When the Generator is no longer required, turn the Generator “OFF” by pressing the

rocker switch located on the Generator back panel to the “O” position.

The BMC RF Device should be disconnected from the BMC connector cable. The BMC

connector cable and return electrode should be disconnected from the generator front

panel. The BMC RF Device, BMC connector cable and return electrode should be

disposed of or stored as indicated in their instructions for use or according to the

procedures for the institution.

If other connectors were used (e.g. footswitch, USB, etc), they should be disconnected as

necessary to ensure safe storage of the Generator and accessories.
