It is important that the operating instructions supplied with the Energy Generator be read, understood and followed before use. 4.1
WARNINGS 4.1.1
Energy Generator • Do not operate the Energy Generator before thoroughly reading this manual and the IFU for each disposable device. • Do not remove the cover of the Energy Generator, as there is a potential for electrical shock. Refer to authorized personnel for service. Do not use the generator if significant damage to the cover or front panel is detected as there is a risk of electrical shock. • Do not use this device in the presence of flammable anesthetics; other flammable gases; near flammable fluids such as skin prepping agents and tinctures; flammable objects; or with oxidizing agents. Observe appropriate fire precautions at all times. • Do not use this device in Oxygen enriched atmospheres, Nitrous Oxide (N2O) atmospheres, or in the presence of other oxidizing agents. While using this device during a procedure, the patient should not be allowed to come into direct contact with grounded metal objects such as the surgical table frame, the instrument table, etc. • When the Energy Generator is activated, the conducted and radiated electrical fields may interfere with other electrical medical equipment. • It is necessary to use the supplied hydrophobic filter (included in all Balloon Catheter’s packaging), placed between the pneumatic connector located at the proximal end of both the Sizing Balloon and Ablation Catheter and the pneumatic connector line on the Output Cable to ensure fluids are not aspirated into the Output Cable in the event of a balloon leak. If the catheter is used without the filter, and a balloon leak occurs, inspect the clear tubing portion of the connecting Output Cable for traces of fluid. If fluid is detected, discontinue the use of the Output Cable and order a replacement. • Only inflate all HALO Balloon Catheters using the inflation system incorporated into the Energy Generator. • If the Energy Generator displays an E95 or C56 Operational Code, this is most likely caused by an air leak in the system. If the E95 or C56 Operational Codes are observed, under endoscopic visualization, manually deflate the balloon using a syringe via pneumatic connector at the proximal end of Ablation Catheter, remove and replace the catheter. 717-0014-01 (025-0170-000) Revision: D Page 2 of 43
• Visual endoscopic confirmation of complete balloon deflation must be performed prior to attempting to reposition or remove a Balloon Based Ablation Catheter or Sizing Balloon. • Do not deliver RF energy in areas containing surgical staples. The presence of metallic staples may disturb the treatment pattern and may lead to complications. • Needle monitoring electrodes are not recommended for use with this equipment. • Patient monitoring systems used with this equipment should incorporate high frequency current-limiting devices. • The Output Cable should be placed as to avoid unnecessary contact with patient leads or leads from other patient-connected equipment. Do not use the Output Cable if the insulation is damaged to prevent the risk of electrical shock. • Failure of the Energy Generator could result in an unintended power output increase. • Place any monitoring electrodes as far as possible from the surgical electrodes when RF surgical equipment and physiological monitoring equipment are used simultaneously on the same patient. • Electrosurgery should be used with caution in the presence of internal or external pacemakers. Interference produced with the use of electrosurgical devices can cause devices such as a pacemaker to enter an asynchronous mode or can block the pacemaker entirely.

ENERGY GENERATOR AND ACCESSORIES Introduction The HALOFLEX Energy Generator, Models 1190A-115A & 1190A-230A, delivers radiofrequency energy at 460 kHz in a bipolar mode to the Ablation Catheter. The Energy Generator includes an inflation system for Balloon Based Catheters. The Energy Generator measures and displays treatment power, energy density, balloon size and balloon pressure.
6.2
Accessories Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be certified to the respective IEC standards (i.e. IEC 950 for data processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore all configurations shall comply with the system standard IEC 60601-1. When ancillary equipment is connected to the signal input part or signal output part of the HALOFLEX Energy Generator, it is recommended to connect such equipment to the power outlet through a separation transformer and therefore to comply with the requirements of the system standard IEC 60601-1. If in doubt, consult the technical services department or your local representative. 6.2.1
HALOFLEX Footswitch The Footswitch allows the operator to initiate or cease the delivery of RF energy and balloon inflation and deflation without using his or her hands. This is a nonsterile device, connected to the energy generator with a 3-meter cable. The Footswitch has two operational controls (Foot Pedals) which will duplicate the functions of the RF POWER CONTROL ON/OFF Button and the AUTOMATIC INFLATE Up and DEFLATE Down Buttons. The Footswitch Unit houses two Foot Pedals, the basic operation of each Foot Pedal is: press once and release to engage, and press once and release to disengage. 6.2.1.1
One Foot Pedal is labeled “AUTO INFLATION” and functions as a toggle switch that alternatively operates as the Auto Inflation Up and Auto Inflation Down Buttons. The color of this Foot Pedal is gray. • A single depression of this Foot Pedal will automatically inflate the balloon to the preset inflation pressure depending on catheter type. ¾ If a Sizing Balloon is connected, the Energy Generator will inflate the balloon to the Sizing Balloon inflation pressure. ¾ If a Balloon Based Ablation Catheter is connected, the Energy Generator will inflate the balloon to the Ablation Catheter inflation pressure. ¾ If a Non-Balloon Based Ablation is connected, this Foot Pedal function will be disabled. •
A successive depression of this Foot Pedal will automatically deflate the balloon to a minimum of -0.136 atm (-2.0 psi).
717-0014-01 (025-0170-000) Revision: D Page 13 of 43
6.2.2
6.2.1.2
The other Foot Pedal is labeled “RF POWER ON/OFF” and initiates delivery of RF energy in the same manner as the RF POWER CONTROL ON/OFF Button on the Energy Generator Front Panel. The color of this Foot Pedal is blue. • If RF energy delivery has been enabled by inflating the balloon to the pressure required to enable RF delivery, a single depression of the RF POWER ON/OFF Foot Pedal initiates delivery of RF energy. RF energy is continued regardless of the state of the Foot Pedal (i.e. whether the user maintains the Foot Pedal depressed, or releases the Foot Pedal). • If RF energy is active and the user releases the Foot Pedal, and then depresses the foot pedal a second time, RF energy delivery ceases. CAUTION: Do not continually hold down or repeatedly depress RF POWER ON/OFF Foot Pedal during the procedure.
6.2.1.3
Footswitch Cleaning Instructions: Use a mild detergent and damp cloth, followed by a disinfectant to clean the Footswitch. The Footswitch is not sterilizable.
6.2.1.4
Disconnect Footswitch after use. Do not wrap Footswitch Cable excessively tight around Footswitch.
HALOFLEX Output Cable The Output Cable is a reusable cable that connects the Sizing Balloon and the Ablation Catheters to the Energy Generator. The Output Cable contains both the electrical and pneumatic conductors required to interface the Sizing Balloon and Ablation Catheters to the HALOFLEX Energy Generator. It allows the Energy Generator to control inflation and deflation of Balloon Based Ablation Catheters and Sizing Balloons. The Output Cable is also the source for delivering power to Ablation Catheters. The Output Cable is approximately 9’ in length and 3/4” in diameter. The Output Cable terminates into a 10 pin electrical connector (4 for RF and 5-6 for electrical signals) at both ends, and a male luer pneumatic fitting on the catheter end and a female luer pneumatic fitting at the generator end. The Output Cable incorporates a “clamp” that allows it to be fixed to a patient’s bed sheets to support the weight of approximately 3’ of the Output Cable. The position of the clamp is adjustable along the segment of the Output Cable that is from 6” to 18” from the catheter end of the Output Cable. Disconnect Output Cable after use.

717-0014-01 (025-0170-000) Revision: D Page 15 of 43
7.1.3
Catheter Connections The Sizing Balloon and Ablation Catheter pneumatic and electrical connectors are connected to the Energy Generator using the Output Cable that is supplied with the Energy Generator. Prior to connecting the Output Cable pneumatic line connector to any Sizing Balloon or Balloon Based Ablation Catheter, it is necessary to place the supplied hydrophobic filter between the pneumatic connector located at the proximal end of the Sizing Balloon or Ablation Catheter and the pneumatic connector on the distal end of the Output Cable. This filter is to ensure fluids are not aspirated into the Output Cable in the event of a catheter leak. Failure to attach the filter may result in the fluid contamination of the Output Cable and mandatory Output Cable replacement. Attach the catheter connection only when the Energy Generator is powered OFF or is in the STANDBY Mode.
7.2
Power-Up Plug the Energy Generator into a grounded hospital grade power outlet (extension cords and/or adapter plugs must not be used). Connect the Output Cable to the Energy Generator. Turn the power on using the ON/OFF switch, which is located on the power access module on the rear panel. The Energy Generator will perform a self-test during which a tone will sound, digital displays will show ‘Self Test In Progress’ and all indicators will be ON. Check that all digit segments and indicators illuminate, and that a tone is audible. If any of the segments or indicators fails to light, or if no tone is heard, DO NOT USE the system. Contact BÂRRX Medical, Inc. In twenty to twenty-five seconds, the self-test will be completed, and the Energy Generator will enter the STANDBY Mode with the digital displays registering the default set values. No procedure settings can be entered during the STANDBY Mode. If the Energy Generator goes directly into a FAULT Mode upon start-up, DO NOT USE the system, and contact BÂRRX Medical, Inc.
