• In the track ablation mode “TRACK ABLATION” message will appear on the LCD. Note:
The efficiency value (0-10) is not important to the efficiency of ablating the track.
• Set Power if desired power level is different from the default. Set power as low as
possible for intended purpose.
• When ready to start, turn the RF energy on by pressing the “RF ON/OFF” button or
depressing the foot pedal.
• Watch the temperatures. As the highest temperature reaches 80°C, the power will
automatically decrease to maintain the highest temperature reading at 80°C. Pull the
device back 1 cm. Continue to pull back 1 cm, using the centimeter marks on the
Device, each time 80°C is reached.)
• Turn off RF power when done.
WARNING: Ensure that RF power is turned off after Track Ablation. Failure to do so
could result in unintended tissue ablation.
