2.5 Fire Hazards
▪ Do not use the System in the presence of explosive or flammable materials.
▪ Materials conducting RF energy may cause temperature rise of the absorbing
material. Do not use the System in the presence of explosive or flammable materials
conductive to RF.
▪ Keep drapes and towels moist to prevent them from igniting and burning. Use non-
flammable prepping solutions.
▪ Do not use flammable substances when preparing the skin for treatment. Be
especially careful with the use of oxygen.
▪ If alcohol is used for cleaning and disinfecting, allow it to dry thoroughly before the
System is used.
2.6 Safety Features of the System
The System incorporates the following safety features. All personnel operating the
System should be familiar with these features.
▪ System has unique password to avoid device operation by non-authorized
personnel.
▪ The RF energy cannot be activated unless the applicator and footswitch have been
connected to the System.
▪ An audible tone indicates energy activation.
▪ During activation, the System performs a self-test of the hardware.
▪ Hardware is tested every 10ms to ensure proper operation of electrical circuit.
▪ Tissue impedance monitoring prevents accidental energy emission to the patient.
▪ Skin surface is monitored during the treatment. RF energy delivery is terminated
when skin temperature accidentally reaches the Cut-off level.
▪ System starts at a low setting.
▪ Internal and skin surface temperature and impedance are constantly monitored.
