2 Device description
The Medtronic DiamondTemp GenConnect cable is part of the DiamondTemp ablation system, which also includes the DiamondTemp ablation catheter, DiamondTemp RF generator,
DiamondTemp irrigation tubing set, DiamondTemp catheter-to-RF generator (RFG) 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 distal end of the nonsterile GenConnect cable (model CEDTGC100) has a 26-pin female connector that connects to the catheter-to-RFG cable and the proximal end has a 26-pin male
connector that connects to the generator. The length of the cable is 1.8 m (6.0 ft).

3 Indications for use
The DiamondTemp GenConnect cable is designed for use with the DiamondTemp ablation system. The cable operates in conjunction with the DiamondTemp generator and an external
GenConnect box (or similar connection box). Refer to the DiamondTemp catheter instructions for the indications for use. Carefully review the specific indications, contraindications, warnings,
precautions, 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 GenConnect cable. Carefully review the specific indications, contraindications,
warnings, precautions, adverse events, included with the DiamondTemp catheter before using the GenConnect cable.
5 Warnings and precautions
• Refer to the DiamondTemp catheter instructions for warnings related to use of the DiamondTemp ablation system.
• Do not expose the GenConnect cable to organic solvents.
• The GenConnect cable is not sterile and should not be used in a sterile field.
• The GenConnect cable is not intended to be sterilized. Use appropriate cleaning and disinfection techniques to clean this cable before reusing.
• The GenConnect cable is designed for use with the DiamondTemp ablation system.
• Use of improper cables may cause errors in the operation of the generator and can result in hazards to the patient.
• Do not pull on the GenConnect cable to disconnect the cable from the generator, the GenConnect box, or the catheter.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Before use, inspect the GenConnect cable and packaging to verify that no damage has occurred. Do not use if the cable or packaging is damaged.
• 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 GenConnect cable by using automated cleaning processes.
• Do not immerse the GenConnect cable connectors in fluids.
• The GenConnect cable is used only in conjunction with a GenConnect box (or similar connection box) with a compatible mapping and navigation system (such as the Abbott EnSite™
Cardiac Mapping System). Consult the respective instructions to ensure correct connectivity and usage.
• If a serious incident related to the device occurs, immediately report the incident to the manufacturer and the applicable competent authority or regulatory body.
• If you find information in this manual that is incorrect or illegible, contact your Medtronic representative.
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 GenConnect cable from its packaging using standard hospital practices, and inspect the cable for damage or rough surfaces, sharp edges, or protrusions before
use.
2. Refer to Figure 1 for illustration of how to connect to and operate the DiamondTemp catheter and system in conjunction with a compatible mapping and navigation system and GenConnect
box. Refer to the respective instructions for detailed information.
3. Connect the distal end (26-pin female receptacle) of the GenConnect cable to the DiamondTemp catheter-to-RFG cable. To do this, align the green connector end of the catheter-to-RFG
cable to the green receptacle key of the GenConnect cable, and then push the connector into the receptacle firmly until it stops. Do not force the connectors or pin damage can occur.
To disconnect, pull the connector body until it separates from the receptacle.
4. Connect the proximal end (26-pin male connector) of the GenConnect cable to the DiamondTemp generator. To do this, align the green strain-relief end of the GenConnect cable
connector key to the generator 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.
5. Connect the grey 9-pin connector to the catheter input of the GenConnect box.
6. Connect the black 14-pin connector to the RF generator output of the GenConnect box.
7. Confirm correct connectivity with the mapping system.
8. Connect the return pad directly to the generator.

8 Device removal and disposal
At the end of the procedure, after removing the DiamondTemp catheter from the patient, disconnect the GenConnect cable from the catheter by gently pulling on the outer housings of the
connectors. Do not pull on the cabling, as this may damage the cable or the catheter.
Disconnect the GenConnect cable from the generator by gently pulling on the outer housing of the generator connector. Do not pull on the cabling, as this may damage the GenConnect cable
or the generator.
After cleaning, disinfection, or decontamination, the GenConnect cable may be reused or disposed per standard procedures for electrical cables and in accordance with local laws and
regulations.
9 Cleaning
To clean the GenConnect cable, use the following steps:
1. Clean the cable by wiping it with enzymatic concentrates, such as Prolystica 2x Concentrate, at 1/8 oz. per gallon of tap water (0.94 g in 1 L).
Caution: The connectors should not be immersed in fluids. Automated cleaning of the cable is not recommended.
2. To disinfect, use broad spectrum disinfectants like phenolics, aldehydes, or alcohols. Recommended disinfectants are Glutaraldehyde 1%, 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), sodium
hypochlorite (0.1%), or equivalent. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use to use the disinfectant.
3. Wipe dry with a clean, soft, nonlinting cloth.
Caution: Do not immerse the GenConnect cable in any liquid and do not expose it to steam autoclave or ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization.
10 How supplied
The GenConnect cable is supplied nonsterile along with the required product documentation. If the packaging is damaged, do not use the product and contact a Medtronic representative.
11 Storage
The GenConnect 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, per standard
hospital procedures for nonsterile equipment.
