Device Description
HALYARD* COOLIEF* Cooled Radiofrequency Sterile Tube Kit (sterile, single use, non-body contact): It is used for closed-loop circulation of sterile water through a HALYARD* COOLIEF* SINERGY* Cooled Radiofrequency (RF) Probe. It includes a burette and tubing. HALYARD* COOLIEF* SINERGY* Cooled Radiofrequency Introducer (sterile, single use): It is to be used with the HALYARD* COOLIEF* SINERGY* Probes only. The COOLIEF* SINERGY* Introducer provides a path for the COOLIEF* SINERGY* Probe to the nervous tissue. HALYARD* COOLIEF* SINERGY* Cooled Radiofrequency Probe (sterile, single use): It is inserted through a COOLIEF* SINERGY* Introducer into or near nervous tissue. Sterile water circulates internally to cool the COOLIEF* SINERGY* Probe while it delivers radiofrequency energy. A thermocouple in the COOLIEF* SINERGY* Probe measures cooled electrode temperature throughout the procedure. HALYARD* COOLIEF* SINERGY* EPSILON* Ruler (sterile, single use): It is a stainless steel, circular, ruler with a 10 mm radius. It is placed on the skin over the treatment site during the procedure. HALYARD* COOLIEF* Radiofrequency QUICKCLAMP* Device (sterile, single use): It is placed on the skin over the treatment site during the procedure. It can be optionally used to support the COOLIEF* SINERGY* Introducer and Probe.
Indications for Use The HALYARD* COOLIEF* SINERGY* Cooled Radiofrequency (RF) Kit, in combination with the HALYARD* COOLIEF* Radiofrequency (RF) Generator (PMG-115-TD/PMG-230-TD/PMG-ADVANCED) (formerly Baylis Pain Management Generator or KIMBERLY-CLARK® Pain Management Generator) is indicated for use to create RF lesions in nervous tissue.
Contraindications For patients with cardiac pacemakers, a variety of changes can occur during and after the treatment. In sensing mode the pacemaker may interpret the RF signal as a heartbeat and may fail to pace the heart. Contact the pacemaker company to determine if the pacemaker should be converted to a fixed-rate pacing during the RF procedure. Evaluate the patient’s pacing system after the procedure. Check the compatibility and safety of combinations of other physiological monitoring and electrical apparatus to be used on the patient in addition to the RF Generator. If the patient has a spinal cord, deep brain, or other stimulator, contact the manufacturer to determine if the stimulator needs to be in the bipolar stimulation mode or in the OFF position. This procedure should be reconsidered in patients with any prior neurological deficit. The use of general anesthesia is contraindicated. To allow for patient feedback and response during the procedure, it should be performed under local anesthesia. Systemic infection or local infection in area of the procedure. Blood coagulation disorders or anticoagulant use.
Warnings
The COOLIEF* SINERGY* Kit contains single-use devices. Do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize this medical device. Reuse, reprocessing, or resterilization may 1) adversely affect the known biocompatibility of the device, 2) compromise the structural integrity of the device, 3) lead to the device not performing as intended, or 4) create a risk of contamination and cause the transmission of infectious diseases resulting in a patient injury, illness, or death. The COOLIEF* SINERGY* Probe must be used with the correct connector cable. Attempts to use it with other connector cables can result in electrocution of the patient or operator. Laboratory staff and patients can undergo significant x-ray exposure during radiofrequency procedures due to the continuous use of fluoroscopic imaging. This exposure can result in acute radiation injury as well as increased risk for somatic and genetic effects. Therefore, adequate measures must be taken to minimize this exposure. Discontinue use if inaccurate, erratic or sluggish temperature readings are observed. Use of damaged equipment may cause patient injury.
Do not modify HALYARD* Equipment. Any modifications may compromise safety and efficacy of the device. When the COOLIEF* RF Generator is activated, the conducted and radiated electrical fields may interfere with other electrical medical equipment. The RF Generator is capable of delivering significant electrical power. Patient or operator injury can result from improper handling of the Probes, particularly when operating the device. During power delivery, the patient should not be allowed to come in contact with grounded metal surfaces. Do not remove or withdraw the device while energy is being delivered. There is a rare potential for localized skin burn if RF lesion site has insufficient subcutaneous tissue (<15mm) or is near a shallow metal implant.
Precautions Do not attempt to use the COOLIEF* SINERGY* Kit before thoroughly reading the accompanying Instructions for Use and the User’s Manual for the COOLIEF* RF Generator and HALYARD* Dispersive Electrode (PMA-GP-BAY). Apparent low power output or failure of the equipment to function properly at normal settings may indicate: 1) faulty application of the dispersive electrode or 2) power failure to an electrical lead. Do not increase power level before checking for obvious defects or misapplication. To prevent the risk of ignition, make sure that flammable material is not present in the room during RF power application. Only physicians familiar with RF lesion techniques should use the COOLIEF* SINERGY* Kit components. It is the physician’s responsibility to determine, assess and communicate to each individual patient all forseeable risks of the RF lesion procedure. The sterile packaging should be visually inspected prior to use to detect any compromise. Ensure that the packaging has not been damaged. Do not use the equipment if the packaging has been compromised. Proper sterile techniques must be used when assembling and filling the Tube Kit. Do not place the lid down on a non-sterile surface. The Tube Kit should never be disconnected from the Probe when RF delivery is in progress. The lumen of the Tube Kit should not be obstructed in any way during the procedure, as this will stop cooling of the Probe. Disconnect the Probe by pulling the connector, not the cable. Handle the Probe safely when it is in use due to electric currents and the hot tip. HALYARD* COOLIEF* Cooled Radiofrequency Sterile Tube Kit The COOLIEF* Tube Kit is for use with a single COOLIEF* SINERGY* Probe. Care must be taken to ensure all luer fittings are secure to prevent leaking. Do not disconnect luer fittings while the pump is running. Arrange equipment to minimize tubing tripping hazards. Do NOT perform cooled RF lesion procedures if water is not circulating through the Tube Kit, water is leaking or air bubbles are seen in the tubing. Immediately stop the procedure and correct circulation before restarting the procedure. Do NOT pinch the tubing of the Tube Kit. HALYARD* COOLIEF* SINERGY* Cooled Radiofrequency Introducer Be careful while handling the COOLIEF* SINERGY* Introducer. The sharp tip can cause injury to the operator if handled carelessly. Handle the Introducer safely when it is in use due to electric currents. Do not move the Introducer without the stylet fully inserted. Choose the properly sized Introducer. HALYARD* COOLIEF* SINERGY* Cooled Radiofrequency Probe While inserting the Probe through the COOLIEF* SINERGY* Introducer watch the fluoroscope for any buckling. Do not attempt to further insert the COOLIEF* SINERGY* Probe if any buckling is observed or significant resistance is felt. Do not move the COOLIEF* SINERGY* Introducer when the Probe is in it. If repositioning is needed, retract the Probe from the Introducer and then reposition the Introducer with the stylet inserted. The “Cooled RF Temp” displayed on the COOLIEF* RF Generator refers to the cooled electrode temperature and not the hottest tissue temperature. 3
