2 Device description
The Medtronic DiamondTemp catheter-to-RF generator (RFG) cable is part of the DiamondTemp ablation system,
which also includes the DiamondTemp ablation catheter, DiamondTemp RF generator, DiamondTemp irrigation
tubing set, DiamondTemp GenConnect cable, DiamondTemp EGM cable, and DiamondTemp irrigation pump.
The DiamondTemp ablation system is designed to deliver radiofrequency (RF) energy to the cardiac anatomy via the
DiamondTemp catheter.
The Model CEDTC100 catheter-to-RFG cable is used to connect the DiamondTemp catheter to the RF generator. The
distal end of the cable has a 19-pin connector that connects to the DiamondTemp catheter. The proximal end of the
cable has a 26-pin connector that connects to the RF generator. The length of the cable is 2.5 m (8.2 ft).
3 Indications for use
The DiamondTemp catheter-to-RF generator cable is designed for use with the DiamondTemp ablation system. The
cable provides connection between the DiamondTemp generator and the DiamondTemp catheter. Refer to the
DiamondTemp catheter instructions for the indications for use. Carefully review the specific indications,
contraindications, warnings, precautions, and adverse events included with the DiamondTemp catheter before using
the cable.
4 Contraindications
The contraindications listed in the DiamondTemp catheter instructions apply to the use of the DiamondTemp
catheter-to-RFG cable. Carefully review the specific indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and
adverse events included with the DiamondTemp catheter before using the catheter-to-RFG cable.
5 Warnings and precautions
• Refer to the DiamondTemp catheter instructions for warnings and precautions related to the use of the
DiamondTemp ablation system.
• Do not expose the cable to organic solvents.
• The cable is designed for use with the DiamondTemp catheter and generator only.
• Use of improper cables may cause errors in the operation of the generator and can result in hazards to the patient.
• The cable is supplied sterile, by ethylene oxide (EtO). Do not use if the sterile barrier is damaged. Use of non-sterile
devices may result in patient injury.
• Use the cable before the “Use By” date on the device package. Do not use past the “Use By” date regardless of
the number of times the cable has been resterilized.
• Do not pull on the cable to disconnect the cable from either the RF generator or the catheter.
• Sterilize after use; do not reuse without sterilizing. The cable may be resterilized up to ten (10) times via Autoclave
sterilization (see section 9). Do not reuse more than ten times. Reusing the cable more than ten times may lead to
device malfunction, resulting in failure to complete the procedure or possibly patient injury.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Before use, inspect the cable and packaging to verify that no damage has occurred. Do not use if the cable or
packaging is damaged.
5
• All devices that are connected to the RF generator must be safe for patients per specifications in IEC 60601-1 and
IEC 60601-2-2. Improper use may be dangerous for the patient.
• Position connecting cables to avoid contact with the patient and other electrical leads.
• If used in the presence of other electrical equipment, noise could be introduced into the cable. Position the cable
as far away as possible from sources of potential electromagnetic interference.
• Do not clean the cable by using automated cleaning processes.
• Do not immerse the cable connectors in fluids.
6 Potential adverse events
The potential adverse events that may be associated with ablation procedures can vary greatly in frequency and
severity and may necessitate additional medical intervention, including surgery. Carefully review the specific
indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and adverse events included with each DiamondTemp catheter,
before using the DiamondTemp ablation system.
7 Directions for use
Note: Refer to the DiamondTemp catheter instructions for use and DiamondTemp RF generator user manual for
detailed operating instructions of the DiamondTemp ablation system.
1. Carefully remove the sterile cable from its packaging using standard hospital practices. Inspect the cable for
damage or rough surfaces, sharp edges, or protrusions before use. Connect the sterile cable to the sterile
catheter. To do this, align the blue strain-relief end of the catheter-to-RFG cable connector key to the catheter
receptacle key, and then push the connector into the catheter receptacle firmly until it stops. Do not force
connectors or pin damage can occur. To disconnect, pull the connector body until it separates from the
receptacle.
2. Pass the RF generator end of the cable out of the sterile field.
3. Connect the cable to the generator or GenConnect cable. To do this, align the green strain-relief end of the
catheter-to-RFG cable connector key to the generator or catheter-to-RFG receptacle key, and then push the
connector into the receptacle firmly until it stops. Do not force connectors or pin damage can occur. To
disconnect, pull the connector body until it separates from the receptacle.
4. Refer to the connectivity diagrams in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Figure 1 illustrates how to connect the cable to the
catheter and directly to the RF generator. Figure 2 illustrates how to connect the cable to operate the catheter and
system in conjunction with a compatible mapping and navigation system (such as the Abbott EnSite™ system).
Refer to the respective instructions for detailed information.
5. Connect the DIP electrode directly to the generator.

Figure 2. Connectivity diagram between catheter and RF generator when using a mapping and navigation system
Verify that the generator does not show any errors or warnings. When used with a mapping and navigation system,
follow the respective instructions to confirm correct operation. Construct an anatomic map of the region of interest only
after all mapping catheters, the DiamondTemp catheter, and all respective cables and neutral electrodes (including the
ablation return pad) are completely and properly connected. The addition of catheters or electrodes may lead to
inaccurate anatomic maps and may require re-mapping.

8 Device removal and disposal
At the end of the procedure, after removing the DiamondTemp catheter from the patient, disconnect the cable from the
catheter by gently pulling on the outer housing of the connectors. Do not pull on the cabling, as this may damage the
cable or the catheter.
Disconnect the cable from the generator by gently pulling on the outer housing of the RF generator connector. Do not
pull on the cabling, as this may damage the cable or the generator.
After cleaning or decontamination, the cable may be resterilized and reused up to ten times or disposed of according
to standard procedures for electrical cables and in accordance with local laws and regulations.
9 Cleaning
The cable should be cleaned by wiping with enzymatic concentrates, such as Prolystica 2x Concentrate, at 1/8 oz per
gallon of tap water (0.94 g per 1 L).
1. If soiling is present on the external portion of the connector previously shielded by the receptacle, use clean,
lint-free cloths to dip into the prepared detergent solution and wipe the area until all visible soil is removed.
2. Apply Parafilm over the connectors at both ends of the cable.
3. Use clean, lint-free cloths to dip into the prepared solution and wipe the cable until all visible soil is removed.
4. Thoroughly rinse the cable with reverse osmosis/deionized (RO/DI) water for a minimum of 30 s, ensuring the
connectors remain dry.
5. Dry the cable with a clean, lint-free cloth. Remove the Parafilm.
6. Visually inspect each cable to ensure there is no visible soil.
Note: The cable connectors should not be immersed in fluids. Automated cleaning of the cable is not recommended.
10 Resterilization
The cable may be resterilized for reuse up to ten times. Medtronic recommends using autoclave sterilization methods.
If using autoclave sterilization, the following method is recommended:
• Double wrap individual cables in sterile wraps.
• Condition using a prevacuum cycle of 4 pulses.
• Sterilize at 134°C for 3 to 18 min.
• Dry for 30 min.

11 How supplied
The cable is supplied separately from the generator, along with the required product documentation. The contents are
sterile if the packaging is unopened and undamaged at the time of use. If the packaging is damaged, do not use the
product and contact a Medtronic representative.
12 Storage
The cable should be stored in its original packaging before first use. Store in a cool and dry place, in a 15°C to 30°C
(59°F to 86°F) noncondensing environment, according to standard hospital procedures for resterilized equipment
after resterilization.
