Endovenous Radiofrequency Generator
Intended use: An electrically-powered, noninvasive device designed to generate radio-frequency (RF) electrical current used to create heat via a percutaneously (through the skin) introduced electrode(s) in a precise location, at a controlled temperature, for focal ablation of non-cardiac tissues (e.g., non-cardiac nerves, tumours, precancerous tissue); it may be intended for coagulation however it is not intended for electrosurgical cutting. The generator connects via a delivery cable to an electrosurgical ablation probe/catheter (not included) to transmit the RF electrical current to the operative site; it might additionally be intended to heat an electrode tip (electrocautery).
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Symptoms: Poor cut/coag, sparking, low power.
Root cause: Burned/eroded blade or pencil.
Symptoms: Pad alarm, no activation.
Root cause: Poor contact or expired pad.
Symptoms: Slow or drifting positioning.
Root cause: Cylinder seal or actuator wear.
Symptoms: Dim or dead panel, color shift.
Root cause: LED module aging.
