Follow the Instructions for Use and stop using the system if there is a suspected leak. 2. Do not perform ablation while the impedance readings of the ablation catheter are in extreme values ​​beyond 250 O (or 300 O in the case of the Multichannel RF Generator MARQ®1). Monitor the impedance during the procedure and avoid turning off the Impedance Limit Setting on the radio frequency (RF) generator. [NOTE: If you are performing a procedure with an experimental device in a clinical study, follow the requirements of the approved protocol]. 3. In addition, avoid ablation during pacing with the same electrode of the ablation catheter. 4.
