“NO CONNECTION OR POOR
CONNECTION”
The needle device may not be connected properly to
the generator. Check the connections by un-plugging
and re-plugging in the device and/or Main Cable and
press “RF ON/OFF” to start
“SYSTEM TEMP TOO HIGH”
Leave Power on. Ensure the vents on the RF
Generator (back and bottom of unit) are not blocked.
Listen to see if fans are running. If fans are not
running, contact Customer Service.
“POOR TISSUE CONDUCTION – RF SHUT
OFF”
1) Retract and re-deploy the device and turn RF back
on
2) If RF does not come back on as in one above,
check pad and cable connections by un-plugging and
re-plugging in the device and/or Main Cable and
Dispersive Pad and/or Pad Adapter Cable, then
press “RF ON/OFF” to start.
3) If RF does not come back on as in two above, try
replacing the device and/or Main Cable, then press
RF ON/OFF to start.
“PUMP CONNECTED DURING
PROCEDURE- RESTART”
RF was turned on without an infusion pump
connected, and a pump was subsequently connected
to the generator during the middle of the procedure
while RF was active. This is not allowed since
proper handshaking and error checking needs to be
performed prior to the activation of RF energy. Press
“RF ON” to correctly restart the procedure with the
infusion pump connected.
“PUMPS NOT RESPONDING ”
1) The infusion pump was manually stopped or
turned off within the first 15 seconds of the
procedure, or the pump was stopped during the
remainder of the procedure. Ensure that pump is
allowed to run for at least 15 seconds after activating
RF and that the pump is always running during a
procedure that requires infusion.
2) The generator has lost communication with the
infusion pump. The pump was turned off, the cable
was disconnected, or the pump has gone into an
error state. Power cycle (turn the infusion pump off
and then on) the infusion pump and verify the cable
connection to the generator.
“NO PUMP: (RF) TO START, (MODE) TO
CANCEL”
The generator is unable to detect the presence of an
infusion pump connected to RS-232 Port B. Try
either connecting or re-connecting cable or replacing
(defective) cable. Also, it is possible that the pump is
disconnected or powered off.
PUMP NOT SUPPORTED, SEE USER’S
MANUAL
An unsupported pump is connected to the RF
Generator. Remove the pump and use an IntelliFlow
Pump.
“REMOVE DEVICE FROM PATIENT, PRESS
(MODE)”
If the purge operation has begun and the device
comes in contact with the patient the purge will stop.
To start the purge operation make sure the device is
not in contact with the patient or return pads.
