INTRODUCTION
The AtriCure ASB3 Switch Matrix is a reusable accessory interface module that
allows simultaneous connection of AtriCure® Isolator™ Transpolar™ ablative
handpiece and pen devices to the ASU RF generator. Devices will be operational
only when the ASB3 selector switch is set to the device-specific position.
Please refer to the applicable handpiece and pen device Instructions For Use.
Please refer to the ASU User’s Manual for descriptions of RF energy delivery,
modes of operation, output power, operating frequency, and approved temporary
cardiac pacing and stimulating accessories. The ASB3 has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for medical devices in IEC 60601-1-2:2001. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a typical medical installation. The ASB3 generates and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the
vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If the
ASB3 does cause harmful interference to other devices, which can be determined
by turning the ASB3 off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures;
- reorient or relocate the receiving device,
- increase the separation between the ASB3 and the other devices,
- connect the ASB3 to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other device(s) are connected, and
- contact the AtriCure service representative for assistance.
- Inspect the following interface cables for any signs of physical damage to the cable and connectors.
- If physical damage is found or the interface cables do not perform within specification, notify AtriCure. All returns must have approval from AtriCure.
- The cables include (1) A000442-ASB/ASU RF Interface Cable, (2) C001237-ASB/ASU Footswitch Interface Cable and (3) A000479-ASB3 PSS Interface Cable.
Caution: Federal (US) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician
