NOTE: Be sure that the RF Generator and all components are properly connected before use (refer to Section IV, Set
Up and Interconnect Section). Be sure that all components are functioning properly, that all indicators are lit as
appropriate, and that tone sounds during system self-test.
CAUTION: Improper connection may lead to arcing, sparking or malfunction of the unit, which can result in injury to
the patient, user, and/or damage to the system.
NOTE: SERFAS Handpiece Cable is supplied non-sterile (refer to Section VI, Cleaning and Sterilization).
NOTE: A sterile probe should be used for each new procedure. Discard after one use. DO NOT attempt to
resterilize.
1. Press the green RF Generator power switch to the ON position. A long tone will sound during the system self-
test. If probe is connected and synthesized voice feature is enabled, the voice will announce the default CUT
level following the tone. If probe is connected and synthesized voice feature is disabled a beep will sound
following the tone.
2. Be sure that the RF Generator and all components are properly connected. All components are properly
connected when the following are present on the front panel of the RF Generator:
● Footswitch Indicator is lit (if Footswitch is used)
● Probe Indicator is lit
● CUT Level Window displays default cut level
● COAG default setting at MED
NOTE: If probe is not properly attached, a ‘0’ will be displayed in the CUT Level window and the probe indicator will
not be lit.

CUT MODE:
1. CUT Level can be adjusted by using either the Up/Down arrow buttons on the front panel of the Generator or by
using the yellow plus/minus pedals on the Footswitch. The maximum and default cut levels for the probe are
determined by probe type used. The generator will automatically recognize probe type upon connection and
set defaults appropriately. The maximum and default CUT Level can range from 1 to 10 depending on the type
of probe being used. Refer to the Probe Family Definition table located in the SERFAS Probe User Insert.
2. Activation of the CUT Mode can be achieved by pressing the yellow pedal of the Footswitch, or by pressing the
yellow button on the Probe, if available (NOTE: Some models of the Probe do not have hand-control
capabilities).
3. When CUT Mode is activated, the yellow cut indicator will appear and a continuous high-pitched tone will
sound for the duration of the activation.
