The EVRF has a connection to a CR45i catheter which because of its larger diameter can coagulate the large saphenous vein and the small saphenous vein. The energy to be supplied is indicated by the lights on the EVRF device or by the sound that each light accompanies.
MANUAL THERMOCOAGULATION - EVRF 3.6 Contra Indications For all types of treatment People with heart disease including pace maker. Pregnant patients, including breastfeeding. Patients younger than 18 years. Contraindication to local anesthetic. For spider vein treatment Allergy to nickel. For varicose vein treatment Deep venous insufficiency.
MANUAL THERMOCOAGULATION - EVRF 3.8 Possible side effects and complications Following side effects and complications can be experienced during or after the treatment. Spider vein treatment Pain Skin pigmentation Skin burn Varicose vein treatment Skin hyperpigmentation. Skin burns. Saphenous nerve damage.
Accessories For the correct functioning of the EVRF accessories are required. Attention: use of accessories and cables other than those provided by F Care Systems could result in malfunctioning of the EVRF. The accessories of the EVRF are the following:...
THERMOCOAGULATION - EVRF 4.3.1 Foot pedal The foot pedal permits to activate the high frequency impulses. It connects the blue connector with the EVRF. 4.3.2 Output cable Cable used to connect the apparatus to the needle holder or catheter CR30KAB.
The needles are single use and must be used before their expiry date. 4.3.6 CR30KABi catheter Reticular, collateral and perforating veins can be treated with F Care Systems’ CR30KAB catheter. The catheter is extremely flexible, so that they follow the direction of the vein easily. Smooth insertion is ensured with the advanced coating material around the catheter.
MANUAL THERMOCOAGULATION - EVRF 4.3.8 CR40i catheter For the treatment of perforating veins, the CR40i catheter can be used. The catheter can be inserted in the vein for up to 25cm. Thermocoagulation of the perforating veins is performed with a 0,5 cm long tip, which is pulled back slowly so the entire vein closes.
THERMOCOAGULATION - EVRF 5 USE OF THE EVRF SYSTEM The use of the EVRF is very easy. Connect the foot pedal to the apparatus (blue plug). If needed connect the non-sterile output cable to the device (only required for needle holder CR30KAB treatment).
MANUAL THERMOCOAGULATION - EVRF 5.1 Configuration of the EVRF After touching the button in the program selection screen you end up in the settings screen. In this screen you have the option to alter 2 settings: language and screen contrast.
The EVRF will give a sound beep every two seconds, so you know that every beep, you have generated 2 times the watt that was set on the EVRF. This is the amount of joule that the EVRF generated.

MANUAL THERMOCOAGULATION - EVRF 5.3 Error at start-up When a problem is detected during start-up a warning screen is shown and the defective program is locked to prevent usage. When trying to enter the program the machine will show a warning screen explaining that the program is locked and that the device needs to be revised.
THERMOCOAGULATION - EVRF 6 ANNUAL CONTROL FORMS The EVRF must be submitted to an annual control for it to be in conformance with its CE marking. During this control all the functions of the apparatus and, particularly, the safety of the device is tested.
