Ampere™ Generator Instructions for Use International Edition Rev. A 100081509-en Warnings, Precautions, and Adverse Reactions Definitions WARNING: A warning contains instructions for avoiding hazardous situations that could cause significant injury to a patient or operator. CAUTION: A caution contains instructions for avoiding hazards that could adversely affect system components or system performance. - Page 9 Ampere™ Generator Instructions for Use International Edition Rev. A 100081509-en Precautions CAUTION: While using an irrigated catheter, the temperature displayed on the Ampere™ Generator is the temperature of the cooled electrode at the tip of the catheter—not the tissue temperature. CAUTION: Always verify that the tubing and catheter have been properly cleared of air prior to inserting the catheter into the vasculature since entrapped air bubbles may cause emboli.
