1 Device description
The Medtronic DiamondTemp Generator Connection Box E (CEDTGCB100) is a signal filtration device used to connect the
DiamondTemp ablation catheter and DiamondTemp RF generator to the Abbott EnSite™ Velocity™ or EnSite Precision™ cardiac
mapping and navigation system. The box transmits intracardiac signals from the catheter electrodes to a compatible 3D mapping and
navigation system without any signal distortion or interference by the generator.
The Generator Connection Box E is connected to the catheter and generator through two connectors via the GenConnect cable. The
third plug on the box is used to connect to the EnSite™ Amplifier via the SJM™ interconnect cable. If an SJM™ interconnect cable
is unavailable, the box can be connected to the amplifier via the DiamondTemp EGM cable (the fourth plug on the box).
Note: Do not connect the Generator Connection Box E to an EP recording system. The proper filtration for that functionality is not
contained within the box.
The DiamondTemp Generator Connection Box E is supplied separately for use with the DiamondTemp RF generator. The Generator
Connection Box E should be used only with the DiamondTemp ablation system and Abbott EnSite™ cardiac mapping system. (The
DiamondTemp ablation system is also compatible with the Abbott EPT GenConnect box, if available.)

6 Warnings and precautions
Review the system documentation – The Generator Connection Box E is part of the DiamondTemp ablation system. Review the
DiamondTemp catheter instructions for use and other DiamondTemp system instructions for use for warnings and precautions,
adverse events, and instructions.
Inspect the package – Carefully inspect the package before opening. If the package has been damaged or opened, do not use and
contact your Medtronic representative.
Inspect the component – Inspect the component thoroughly. Do not use the component if it appears to be damaged.
Sterilization – The Generator Connection Box E is supplied nonsterile and is not intended to be sterilized. Do not expose the box to
steam autoclave or ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization.
Product compatibility – For use only with the DiamondTemp ablation system and the EnSite™ Velocity™ or EnSite Precision™
cardiac mapping system. Use with other systems has not been assessed, and may compromise patient or operator safety.
Do not modify – Do not modify this equipment. Modifications may reduce system effectiveness and impact patient health.
Primary and secondary connectors – Do not connect the Generator Connection Box E to the EnSite™ Amplifier with both the
primary and secondary connectors. Only connect using one of the connector options.
Use with other equipment – Using this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could
result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, observe the equipment to verify that it is operating normally.
Serious incident – If a serious incident related to the device occurs, immediately report the incident to Medtronic and the applicable
competent authority or regulatory body.

regulations.
Technical manual information – If you find information in this manual that is incorrect or illegible, contact your Medtronic
representative or your local competent medical authority.
7 Adverse events
For potential adverse events, see the instructions for use for the compatible DiamondTemp catheter being used.
8 Directions for use
Note: Inspect the component before use. Do not use this component if it appears to be damaged.
Complete the following steps to connect the Generator Connection Box E. (The instructions and product figure depict a generalized
connection; exact configurations may differ.) For additional information on using the Generator Connection Box E with the RF
generator, see the DiamondTemp RF Generator User Manual.
1. Connect the Generator Connection Box E to the DiamondTemp ablation catheter and RF generator using the DiamondTemp
GenConnect and catheter-to-RFG cables (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Generator Connection Box E Connections to RF Generator and Catheter
2. Connect the Generator Connection Box E to the EnSite™ Amplifier, using one of the following options. (Refer also to the
applicable EnSite™ instructions for use.) For either connection option, a DiamondTemp EGM cable must be connected from the

back of the RF generator to the EP recording system. If using the secondary connection option (Figure 4), two EGM cables are
needed.
Caution: Do not connect the Generator Connection Box E to the EnSite™ Amplifier with both the primary and secondary
connectors. Only connect using one of these connection options.
Primary connection option: Using the SJM™ interconnect cable, connect the 52-pin connector on the Generator Connection
Box E to the EnSite™ Amplifier (Figure 3). (If the SJM™ interconnect cable is not available, use the secondary connection option
shown in Figure 4.)
Figure 3. Generator Connection Box E Primary Connection with SJM™ Cable
To disconnect the Generator Connection Box E after the procedure, unplug the box from the catheter, generator, and EnSite™
Amplifier.
Secondary connection option: If an SJM™ interconnect cable is not available, connect a DiamondTemp EGM cable to the 9-pin
connector on the Generator Connection Box E (Figure 4) and complete the following steps:
1. Connect the EGM cable pins to a catheter input module of the EP recording system. The D1 pin on the EGM cable may be
skipped, as signals from the most distal catheter electrode are not used for navigation.
2. Connect the catheter input module of the EP recording system to the EnSite™ RecordConnect module.
3. Connect the cables on the RecordConnect module to the EnSite™ Amplifier and configure EnSite™ software settings
appropriately. (There are different RecordConnect modules for different EP recording systems.)

9 Cleaning and disposal
After cleaning, the Generator Connection Box E may be reused or disposed per standard procedures in accordance with local laws
and regulations.
The Generator Connection Box E is intended to be cleaned between uses. The box must be protected from moisture, contamination,
and contact with flammable or explosive substances. The box surface may be cleaned with non-flammable and non-explosive agents
only, according to the following steps.
1. Before cleaning, disconnect the Generator Connection Box E from the RF generator and all other devices.
2. Wipe the box with a clean, soft, nonlinting cloth dampened with soapy water solution.
Caution: Do not immerse the Generator Connection Box E. Do not allow any fluid or moisture into any connector. The box and
attached devices may not function correctly if the connectors get wet.

4. Wipe dry with a clean, soft, nonlinting cloth.
5. To disinfect, use broad spectrum disinfectants like phenolics, aldehydes, or alcohols. Recommended disinfectants are
Glutaraldehyde 2.4%, 70% IPA, sodium hypochlorite (0.1%), or equivalent. Follow the manufacturer’s instruction for use to use
the disinfectant.
Caution: Inspect this component thoroughly after cleaning and before reuse. Do not use this component if it appears to be
damaged.
