Professional Services Agreement
(For Use with Manufacturing Services for Medical Customers Only)
This Agreement is hereby entered into on this 17th day of February, 2000 by and
between Rita Medical Systems, Inc., of 967 N. Shoreline Boulevard, Mountain
View, CA 94043, (hereinafter "Customer") and Plexus Corp. of 55 Jewelers Park
Drive, Neenah, WI 54956, (along with its wholly-owned subsidiaries Plexus
Technology Group, Plexus Electronic Assembly and SeaMED, a Plexus Company,
hereafter collectively referred to as "Plexus".)
A. MANUFACTURING PHASE
------------------------
The terms and conditions set forth in this Section A, Manufacturing Phase,
Section B, Medical Device Provisions, as well as the terms and conditions set
forth in Section C, Standard Terms and Conditions, shall be applicable to this
portion of the Agreement. The parties may conduct a mutual review of component
pricing, material mark-up, and labor on a semi-annual basis. Unit prices shall
not be increased or decreased more often than semi-annually unless the quantity
on order changes, or in the event of an engineering change that impacts either
material or labor costs. Unit prices shall be determined for the quantity of
Product on an individual Customer Purchase Order. (For example, if Customer
orders 200 units, the 200 piece price shall apply. If the Customer's next
Purchase Order is for 50 units, the 50 piece price shall apply.) Attachment C
provides an example of unit cost calculations for various production rates. As
part of the semi-annual reviews, Plexus shall review unit costs at various
production rates and shall provide Customer with updated unit costs at these
production rates. Customer's Purchase Orders for quantities outside the scope of
Attachment C shall be mutually negotiated. The estimated quantity of Products is
a factor used to determine unit pricing. In the event of a significant quantity
change, either increasing or decreasing the estimated quantity of assemblies,
the parties agree to evaluate and negotiate the impact and timing of unit price
adjustments.
1. DEFINITIONS
----------------
For the purpose of this Manufacturing Phase:
"Assemblies" shall mean finished Product.
"Long Lead Time Component(s)" shall mean all of those individual parts and
materials whose current lead times extend beyond forty (40) business days. The
Long Lead Time Components may, from time to time, be reviewed by Plexus and
Customer, at the request of either party due to possible changes in market
conditions of supply and demand affecting the procurement by Plexus of the
Components and/or Long Lead Time Components for the assemblies hereunder. Any
changes resulting from such review shall be with the mutual written agreement of
Plexus and Customer.
"NCNR Component(s)" shall mean those parts that are not cancelable once placed
on order with Plexus suppliers, and are not returnable once delivered to Plexus.
The NCNR Component(s) may, from time to time, be reviewed by Plexus and
Customer, at the request of either party due to possible changes in market
conditions of supply and demand affecting the procurement by Plexus of the
Components and/or NCNR Component(s) for the assemblies hereunder. Any
*** Material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment
and such material has been filed separately with the SEC.
<PAGE>
changes resulting from such review shall be with the mutual written agreement of
Plexus and Customer.
"Special Component(s)" shall mean those parts that have special procurement
conditions such as limited change parameters or other special liability
conditions that are required by Plexus' suppliers. The Special Component(s) may,
from time to time, be reviewed by Plexus and Customer, at the request of either
party due to possible changes in market conditions of supply and demand
affecting the procurement by Plexus of the Components and/or Special
Component(s) for the assemblies hereunder. Any changes resulting from such
review shall be with the mutual written agreement of Plexus and Customer.
"Monthly Rolling Quantity Forecast of Delivery Requirements" shall mean the
written documents provided to Plexus by Customer each month indicating the
delivery requirements projected for the next twelve (12) months.
2. AUTHORIZATION OF WORK/PROCUREMENT OF MATERIALS
---------------------------------------------------
The following terms will apply assuming Customer's credit has been established
to Plexus' satisfaction:
a) The purpose of this section is to define the methods under which Plexus
will procure materials to support manufacturing of product for the Customer. The
intent is to provide the Customer with flexibility to alter and/or cancel
schedules within a reasonable period of time while at the same time minimizing
Plexus liability that is a result of those alterations and cancellations. In
order to offer the best possible price, Plexus does not attempt to build
unanticipated carrying charges into its price. When changes in Customer
requirements occur that cause Plexus to incur unanticipated expenses that are
the result of Customer actions, the Customer is expected to reimburse Plexus for
the costs incurred.
For each assembly to be manufactured, Plexus establishes a manufacturing lead
time, which is the number of business days it will take, on average, to receive
and kit all components, assemble, test and ship the lot. Manufacturing lead time
shall be established during the pre-production phase of the program. Plexus
schedules all components for a particular lot of assemblies to arrive one
manufacturing lead-time prior to the Customer due date. Plexus then uses this
information, together with the Forecast and Purchase Order information as
defined below, to place commitments to its suppliers for materials.
b) Customer shall place purchase orders for the first six (6) months of
production and maintain six (6) months of firm purchase orders on a month to
month rolling basis. Customer will provide Plexus on a monthly basis with a
minimum of twelve (12) month schedule of demand for product. The schedule will
show firm orders for months 1-6 and forecasted demand for months 7/12. Customer
authorizes Plexus to procure, as material lead times dictate, the material to
support 100% of Buyers forecasted requirements for months 7 through 9. On a
quarterly basis Plexus will place orders for material for months 7 through 9 of
the current forecast in order to lot size Printed Circuit Board Assemblies and
to determine economic order quantity buys or components or unique parts. Months
10, 11 and 12 are provided for Plexus
*** Material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment
and such material has been filed separately with the SEC.
<PAGE>
visibility and may be utilized by Plexus to request additional material
authorizations from Customer. Prior to entering full production Customer and
Plexus will review the final bill of material, discuss material lead times and
production ordering parameters. Customer and Plexus agree to develop a material
ordering plan which will ensure timely delivery of material to meet production
objectives, while limiting the exposure to materials in the event of a program
shut down.
c) Schedule Changes:
The Customer may request a change to the delivery schedule at any time. Schedule
changes can have an extraordinary effect on the amount of inventory at Plexus,
the impact for which is not considered in the original cost of the assembly.
Frequent schedule changes may result in additional administrative charges
including but not limited to administrative charges required for Plexus to
reschedule component deliveries.
*** Material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment
and such material has been filed separately with the SEC.
<PAGE>
Customer and Plexus recognize that each program is unique and will require
program specific ordering parameters. These parameters are mutually agreed to
after the bill of material is finalized and production quantities are provided
to Plexus in the form of a purchase order or delivery forecast. The parameters
set forth below offer a typical scenario where the Customer may, without cost or
liability, but with the assent of Plexus, reschedule deliveries of Products
already on order. Customer may request to move in delivery dates of quantities
on order. Plexus will complete an analysis of material availability and will
provide Customer with estimated ship dates based on material availability.
Likewise, Customer may request to move out delivery dates of quantities on
order. Plexus will complete an analysis of the impact of this change to material
on hand and on order. If Customer chooses to move out deliveries and material is
already at or shipping to Plexus's facility, Customer may be charged an
inventory deposit for this material as set forth below.
Production Schedule Ordering Parameters
---------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 to 3 Months Firm PO's, Schedule unchangeable
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 to 6 Months Firm P0's. May move up to 20% of scheduled deliveries on
PO's out 30 days without incurring an inventory deposit, or
in 30 days depending on material availability.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 to 9 Months May move up to 30% of scheduled deliveries on PO's out 60
days without incurring an inventory deposit, or in 60 days
depending on material availability. Deliveries extended >60
days will require an inventory deposit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer may request to increase the total quantity of Products on order. For
quantity increases, Plexus will make its best effort to obtain the components
necessary to meet Customer requirements. Plexus will complete an analysis of
material availability and will provide Customer with estimated ship dates based
on material availability. However, Plexus may be unsuccessful in obtaining all
of the components required to meet the Customer's increased requirements. In
that situation, Plexus will complete an analysis of material availability and
will provide Customer with estimated ship dates based on material availability.
Customer may request to decrease the total quantity of Products on order. If
Customer decreases the total quantity of Products on order, all non-cancelable,
non-returnable material procured in accordance with Customer's original Purchase
Order schedule will be the responsibility of Customer.
d) Engineering Change
The term "Engineering Change(s)" (hereinafter called "EC" or "EC's") shall mean
those mechanical, software, or electrical design and/or specification and
requirement changes which, if made to the assemblies to be delivered hereunder,
would affect the schedule performance, reliability, availability,
serviceability, appearance, dimensions, tolerance, safety or purchase price of
such assemblies or which would require additional approval test.
*** Material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment
and such material has been filed separately with the SEC.
<PAGE>
Plexus may determine that Engineering Changes will affect its ability to
maintain the delivery schedule, due to the lead time of newly specified parts
and/or the impact of substantial rework or modification. Under these
circumstances, Plexus reserves the right to define a new schedule for delivery
and treat this as a Schedule Change, with the Customer liability as defined
under the Schedule Change condition.
Plexus shall process engineering changes per the agreed upon Document Change
Control Agreement, attached hereto and made a part hereof as Attachment A. Upon
receipt, Plexus shall review Customer's proposed EC and Plexus shall give to
Customer a written evaluation of the EC, stating Plexus' cost to implement the
EC (including the cost to modify any tooling), the excess quantity of Components
and/or Long Lead Time Components, NCNR Components and/or Special Components
Plexus has inventoried and/or has on order with its Components and/or Long Lead
Time Components, NCNR Components and/or Special Components suppliers that are
unusable for any other assembly requirement and excess due to the EC, and
associated costs and expenses such Components and/or Long Lead Time Components,
NCNR Components and/or Special Components that Customer shall be liable for and
the cost savings, if any, resulting from the EC, and the expected effect on the
schedule, availability and/or purchase price of such assemblies, or which may
require additional approval tests by Customer.
e) Customer Supplied Parts
In the event the Customer supplies material to Plexus for use in the
manufacturing of the product, Customer agrees to supply the material on time and
in accordance with purchase orders placed by Plexus. Customer supplied material
will be subject to normal incoming inspection, and the value of the incoming
material will be included in the unit price. For purposes of payment relating to
this section only, Plexus and Customer agree to develop a method for providing
Customer with payment for such accepted customer supplied material such that
Customer will not be charged twice for any individual customer supplied
material. If material supplied by Customer is rejected or not delivered on time,
therefore preventing Plexus from completing and shipping product, Plexus may
invoice Customer for the full unit price as listed on Customer's purchase order.
f) Minimum Component Purchases
Plexus may have to place orders for quantities of components in excess of that
required to support Customer requirements. This may be as a result of minimum
order size requirements or standard package sizes from the supplier. Plexus and
Customer will work together using best efforts to identify components that
require or may be likely to require a minimum buy prior to the initial build.
However, the Customer's responsibility for minimum component purchases is not
solely confined to this list since additional components may require minimum buy
purchases at any time. Plexus shall provide Customer with periodic updates as
well as inventory reports showing excess and obsolete components. The Customer
will agree to have the cost of the excess components amortized over a maximum of
six (6) month's requirements, or will place a purchase order separately for the
excess components.
g) Cancellation
*** Material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment
and such material has been filed separately with the SEC.
<PAGE>
Customer may cancel requirements defined in orders and/or forecasts at any time
before the scheduled delivery date. Any assembly requirements canceled within
the manufacturing lead-time of the scheduled delivery date will be invoiced at
the full agreed to price for the completed assembly.
For assembly requirements canceled outside the manufacturing lead time of the
scheduled delivery date, Customer's liability to Plexus will be the value of the
components in Plexus' inventory (including the full markup as defined in the
Plexus quotation), and other components for which Plexus has liability but which
are not in Plexus inventory, as well as payment for any and all work-in-process
(WIP) manufacturing costs and expenses, and reasonable administrative costs and
expenses. Plexus will deliver an itemized list of these costs to customer.
Customer agrees to pay the costs identified by Plexus within ten (10) business
days of notification of such costs.
To help minimize the impact of cancellation charges, Plexus will attempt to
restock components at the supplier, resell the components, and/or utilize the
components on non-customer assemblies.
3. PAYMENT
------------
As full compensation for the assemblies and spare parts (i.e. to include but not
limited to components shipped to Customer for field service) provided by Plexus
hereunder and its obligations contained herein. Customer will make payments
subject to terms of net amount due thirty (30) days following the date of the
invoice. Unless stated otherwise, prices quoted are F.O.B. Plexus' manufacturing
facility. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all quoted prices are firm for
thirty (30) days from the date of quotation. Quotations are based on drawings,

DOCUMENT CHANGE CONTROL AGREEMENT
between SeaMED, a Plexus Company and Rita Medical Systems, Inc.
for Project Red Butte
February 17, 2000
1. Purpose and scope of this agreement.
1.1. The objective of this agreement is to define the document change
control process for documents involved in SeaMED's manufacture of
devices for Rita Medical Systems, Inc.
1.2. It is a goal of this agreement that there be only one document and
one point of change control for each item and/or document. Since
SeaMED is the manufacturer and purchaser of the device's component
parts, engineering change control for all related documentation will
reside at SeaMED. To ensure uniform document content, Rita Medical
Systems, Inc. should release only the SeaMED-supplied version of any
document, in those cases where both companies release a document.
Changes should be made by the terms of this agreement.
1.3. SeaMED will administer change control in accordance with SeaMED
Document Change Procedure (Document # 900319), including determination
of change classes as described below.
1.4. This agreement affects all documents in the Device Master Record
Index of products at Production-level release that SeaMED manufactures
for Rita Medical Systems, Inc.
2. Document Change Procedure. This procedure defines the classes of changes
and the mechanics of the change process based on those classifications per
SeaMED's internal Quality Assurance requirements.
2.1 Document classifications: Documents may be described as either
common or product-specific. The common category includes Source and
Specification Control Drawings (SCD) used for buying and inspecting
commercially available, "off-the-shelf" parts. Product-specific
documents include all documents that are unique to the design of the
product.
2.2. Document Change Classifications: Change Class defines the impact of
the change. Where the term "form, fit, or function" is used, the
meaning includes: specifications/limits/dimensions, regulatory
compliance, appearance, cosmetic criteria, manufacturing or test
processes, design verification test status, increase in manufacturing
costs, and scheduled shipping dates. A DCN may have changes from more
than one change class; the change class for the DCN as a whole shall
be that of the highest level on the DCN. The classes are defined as
follows:
2.2.1. Class 0: Changes to SeaMED procedures, common parts and any
documents without a project name in the title. Class 0 changes
do not fit within the definition of Class 1, 2 or 3 changes.
Class 0 changes are not design changes.
<PAGE>
Class 0 changes do not require customer approval or
notification.
2.2.2. Class 1: Changes to product-specific or common parts documents
where there is no impact on component or assembly form, fit,
---------
or function. Class 1 changes are not design changes. Class 1
changes are typically documentation corrections and
clarifications. Class 1 changes do not require customer
approval, but do require customer notification within one (1)
working day after approval by SeaMED.
2.2.3. Class 2: Changes to product-specific or common parts documents
where there is no intended impact on end-item form, fit, or
------------------
function, but an element (document, part, process, etc.) of
the established baseline is changing. Class 2 changes are
design changes and require justification. Class 2 changes are
typically physical changes to a part or assembly's dimensions,
manufacturing process, or test process. Class 2 changes
require customer approval.
2.2.4. Class 3: Changes to a product-specific document where there is
impact on end-item form, fit, or function. Class 3 changes are
------
design changes and require justification. Class 3 changes are
typically due to unit performance improvements, unit
packaging, physical configuration changes, etc. Class 3
changes require customer approval.
3. Mechanics of the change process.
3.1. It is a goal of this agreement that all correspondence regarding
document changes be handled promptly and speedily. Delays can
seriously upset scheduled buys, work orders, and shipments.
3.2. SeaMED Documentation Control will handle all correspondence for
SeaMED regarding document changes.
3.3. SeaMED will notify Rita Medical Systems, Inc. by telefax of Class 1
changes as they are signed and implemented.
3.4. SeaMED will submit Class 2 and 3 changes to Rita Medical Systems,
Inc. by telefax for approval after SeaMED's Change Control Board has
approved the proposed change.
3.5. Rita Medical Systems, Inc. will designate one representative and one
alternate with authority to approve/disapprove proposed changes as
they are presented by SeaMED. Proposed changes should be addressed
within one week.
3.6. Rita Medical Systems, Inc. may request a change to any document,
common or product-specific, by submitting a written change request.
Change requests are to be signed by the designated Rita Medical
Systems, Inc. representative, or their alternate, with the authority
to approve/disapprove the request. SeaMED should address requested
changes in one week or less.
3.7. SeaMED will periodically provide copies of all incorporated changes
to product specific documents.
<PAGE>
4. Costs associated with document changes.
4.1. A certain number of changes is normal during the life of a product.
Also, once production is underway, SeaMED or Rita Medical Systems,
Inc. may suggest changes to ease manufacture or inspection. SeaMED
may elect to waive the administrative costs associated with these
changes.
4.2. Changes which occur at Rita Medical Systems, Inc. request, regarding
the established design of the product or affecting parts already
ordered or in SeaMED's inventory, will be considered individually. In
some cases, an administrative charge may be assessed by SeaMED for the
cost of processing and incorporating a change aside from any material
costs involved.

The Project Plan is revised and changed through the SeaMED Document Change
Procedure, 900319, at the end of each phase, and additionally when
determined necessary by the Project Director. The Project plan may also be
revised thought the "Scope / Specification Change Request Form," see
Appendix A. This change request form is used when either SeaMED or the
Customer request changes, and is classified into two groups, Major and
Minor. Additional pages may be attached as necessary to describe and
support the request. The Project Director numbers and tracks the Change
number assigned to the Scope Change Request Form. The completed and
approved Scope / Specification Change Request Form becomes part of the
DHF.
Example:
SeaMED recognizes that plans change. SeaMED will notify the customer in
writing of any changes foreseen and the ramifications of changes requested
by either SeaMED or the Customer. SeaMED classifies changes into two
groups.
8.10.1. Minor
. Minor scope changes are those activities which are outside the
work defined in the January 12, 2000 scope that do not affect
milestone dates and are below $2000.
. Minor scope changes may be documented in team meeting minutes,
a Scope Change request form, or an e-mail sent to the
customer, estimating the cost of the change.
. Scope changes may be approved by the customer by written
acknowledgement via letter, fax, or e-mail.
. Scope changes shall be implemented by revising the appropriate
documents, including this project plan.
. Scope change costs will be handled by Rita either increasing
the original NRE P.O. or by issuing a P.O. to cover the Scope
Change.
. In the event that it is necessary to DCN a drawing because it
was discovered to be in error or inadequate, and it is
determined that the cause was documentation provided by Rita,
the implementation of the DCN will be charged to Rita as a
minor scope change. Should the DCN be for the convenience of
SeaMED or to correct a SeaMED error, there will be no charge.
8.10.2. Major
. Major scope changes are those activities which are
outside the work defined in the January 12, 2000 scope
that do affect milestone dates and are in excess of
$2000.
. Major Scope changes require a re-evaluation of the
overall Project schedule and project NRE costs.
. Major scope changes may be documented in a Scope Change
request form, or an e-mail sent to the customer,
estimating the cost of the
<PAGE>
change and effect on schedule.
. Major scope changes may be approved by the customer by
written acknowledgement via letter, fax, or e-mail.
. Scope changes shall be implemented by revising the
appropriate documents, including this project plan.

Appendix C - Project Material Plan
REDBUTTE MATERIAL PLAN
1. SCOPE
This document outlines the plans for procurement and management of the
materials required for the Prototype and PreProduction builds of the
RedButte project. This document is supplemental to the existing Project
Plan and associated proposals.
2. PURPOSE
The purpose of this plan is to document the management of the material for
the RedButte project to meet the schedule, cost and manufacturing
objectives.
3. REFERENCE DOCUMENTS
906817 SeaMED Supplier Qualification Procedure

950056 Plan, Manufacturing RedButte
4. MATERIAL TEAM
The Material Support Team (MST) shall consist of representatives
from Purchasing, Stores, Receiving Inspection, Production Control,
and Supplier Quality and shall be under the leadership of a
Material Coordinator. The Material Coordinator shall provide a
single point interface on material matters to the Red Butte
Project Director, to the Red Butte team, and to the customer.
The Material Coordinator reviews the master schedule, interprets
requirements
and develops and manages lower tier schedules which include:
Identification and procurement of long lead material.
Accuracy of the BOM, sales order and/or master schedule.
Release dates of drawings to support schedule.
Supplier approval schedules.
Schedule for initialization of hard tooling.
The Material Coordinator will manage and report to the Project Director
material shortages, excess and inactive inventory amounts, transfer price
estimates, and any material issues which may impact project schedule or
cost.
5. PROTOTYPEBUILD
No prototype units will be built for this project.
<PAGE>
6. PREPRODUCTION BUILD
There is no pre-production build. All units are production units built at
rev A. The first 25 units will be billed at actual labor and material cost.
Remaining units will be billed as per unit cost quoted on January 12, 2000
quotation (see appendix D). A long lead (greater than 8 weeks lead time)
BOM will be generated and master scheduled to support the Production
schedule. Upon receipt of a purchase order from Rita the master schedule
for the long lead BOM will be removed and a sales order will be loaded to
drive the demand for the remaining material. All custom part drawings will
be released to Revision A for the purchasing team to buy. Assembly drawings
will be released to Revision A prior to work orders being opened.
While the overall responsibility still resides with the Material
Coordinator, the Planner will have the responsibility for the day to day
operations (opening work orders, monitoring shortages, expediting, etc.),
and data entry of the BOM and BOM changes as provided by the Manufacturing
Engineer. The Material Coordinator will work with the Material Team to
implement design changes. The Production Planner will monitor the shortage
report and expedite material from receiving through to the work cell. MRB
meetings will be held as needed to move material through MRB to the work
cell. The Planner will provide shortage reports to the Material
Coordinator.
7. SUPPLIERS
Suppliers for custom parts will be selected the Material Support Team from
suppliers on the Approved Supplier List (ASL). Initially, Rita's suppliers
will be used to meet production deadlines and requirements until SeaMED is
in a position to conduct an orderly transition to its own approved
suppliers.
If a new supplier is needed to meet project production requirements, the
Material Coordinator will initiate and oversee the approval process (ref.
SeaMED Supplier Qualification Procedure 90618). The cost of the approval
process will be billed to the project. A status will be given at Phase
Ending reviews.
Suppliers selected by Rita will be added to the ASL with a Conditional
Status-project specific. To initiate this process the customer will send a
letter to the Material Coordinator directing SeaMED to procure from the
specified supplier.
8. CUSTOMER SUPPLIED MATERIAL (CSM)
No customer supplied material will be provided for this project.
9. SPARES AND OTHER NON-PRODUCTION DEMAND
It is the customer's responsibility to identify requirements for spares and
other non-production demand as early as possible. Failure to plan prudently
will result in higher piece part costs and increased risk in achieving
schedules.
10. FINANCIAL
10.1. Excess and Inactive
During the performance of this project, SeaMED will purchase
materials support the requirements defined in the contract agreement
and the project plan. Certain materials that
<PAGE>
SeaMED will acquire will be subject to minimum-buy
requirements, scrap and attrition additions and quantity price
breaks which may result in excess material accumulation on the
project. Additionally, design changes may cause other materials to
become inactive. SeaMED will use it's best efforts to minimize the
impact on the project of excess and/or inactive. However, the final
costs associated with the accumulation of excess or inactive
materials (including storage costs if off site storage is required)
will be billed to the customer. A separate SeaMED project billing
account will be opened for RedButte project scrap material for the
development (including PreProduction) phase of the project. Parts
purchased by SeaMED that become inactive due to design changes will
be billed to this account on a monthly basis. Due to the difficulty
in estimating the amount of scrap, it was not included in the NRE
estimate. The Material Coordinator will report on a monthly basis to
the Project Director the status and amount of Excess and Inactive
Material.
10.2. Tooling
The NRE budget does not include estimates for production tooling. If
hard tooling is required, prior to initiation of hard tooling,
estimates will be obtained and additional PO coverage will be
needed.
Ownership of the tooling resides with Rita. For confidentiality,
Rita's name will not be marked on the tooling. All tooling purchased
on this contract shall have the following statement added to the
Purchase Order:
The tooling procured or fabricated under this Purchase Order
shall become the property of SeaMED. Each item shall be
permanently marked or labeled "Property of SeaMED Corp." Tooling
shall be returned to SeaMED on request.
10.3. Material Deposits
No material deposit is required.
10.4. Transfer Price Estimate
The Material Coordinator will track the unit price throughout the
development process.
The initial quote was based on a 11/29/99 BOM. It has been agreed
the final transfer price is to be determined following a BOM audit
conducted in January 2000.

-------------
Unit Price
The unit price is budgetary and is based on the model 1500 BOM dated 11/29/99.
Any changes to this BOM may affect the final unit cost. Please see Attachment A
for pricing details.
Unit Labor Price
Board level labor is an estimate. Firm custom PCBA labor pricing will be based
upon an accurate BOM, assembly drawings, fab drawings, and or a sample. The HLA
unit labor price for the device is based on a cellular manufacturing approach
for the device. This cell will incorporate point-of-use stocked material and a
progressive assembly and test approach. The Product will be built by assemblers
and tested by Production Technicians; at lower volumes the product may be built
and tested by Production Technicians.
Unit Materials Price
Unit material price is budgetary and is based on the BOM that was dated
11/29/99. When comparing the BOM with the individual BOMS provided 12/15/99 we
found many parts discrepancies. We ignored the individual BOMS and got quotes on
the BOM dated 11/29/99. In order to solidify material pricing we will need
accurate assembly BOMS completed with manufactures and manufactures P/N's.
Please see attachment B for comments for custom components. Please see
attachment C for material pricing comments.

could be modified to allow for ICT in the future should quantities exceed
estimates.
. ICT fixtures and programming are not included in this proposal and exceed
the scope the
<PAGE>
project. All tests are manual with the exception of Run-In Test which will
be automated.
. Testing will consist of PCBA and system level tests. Power supply voltages
and signals necessary to meet device specifications will be measured.
. The HCU's software will be used in a test mode to read external stimulus
(inputs) and control outputs that will be measured by independent test
equipment.
. The safety functions will also be tested.
. PCBAs may be tested in the system or on a bench top tester depending on
access to the PCBAs in the HCU.
. Electrical safety of the HCU will be tested. This will consist of leakage
current tests and dielectric strength tests. These tests will not require
or include the disposable.
5. Mfg. Test Procedures $33,495
Value Added Service:
The following test procedures will be developed and released to test the model
1500 in manufacturing:
. Back-plane
. CPU PCA
. IO PCA
. Thermo Board
. Display Driver Board
. Display Board
. RF Board
. System Test
. Electrical Safety
. Run-in Test
. Final Test
. QA Final Test
Assumptions:
none
6. Mfg. Test Fixture Material and Labor $44,750
Value Added Service:
. Golden Board Test Fixture (GBTF) will be designed and built to support board
level test, calibration and debugging of individual PCBAs. This fixture will
also be used to provide in/out of house service boards. This fixture will
include various RF loads, thermocouple simulation, provide open thermocouple
simulation, load for audio drivers, and foot switch or foot switch simulator.
Additional bench top equipment will be required to
<PAGE>
support the testing including a temperature measuring device, PC (to
communicate with the unit), Oscilloscope, DMM, etc. Standard bench top test
equipment is supplied by SeaMED. Specialized equipment specific to the HCU
testing or equipment built into test fixtures is charged to the customer.
. System Test Fixture will be almost identical to the GBTF less the portion
that holds and powers the Golden Boards. It will probably share the various
RF loads, Thermocouple simulation, provide open thermocouple simulation, load
for audio drivers, and foot switch or foot switch simulator. The bench top
test equipment will also be shared. This approach will reduce the quantity of
fixtures and equipment and therefore cost.
. Run-In Test Fixture will be very dependent on the type of requirements
defined by the customer. The level of support needed to energize the RF
output and the duration it can be driven will affect the complexity of the
fixture design. We propose the fixture be modular and initially be built to
support 4 units simultaneously. It will be designed to extend to 8 units by
adding components when higher production quantities require additional
capacity. The approach includes a PC, 8 port RS-232 board, Digital I/O board,
AC line control switch system, RF loads and pneumatic control system. Test
software will be developed to automate this fixture.
. The Electrical Safety Test will use SeaMED's safety analyzer and Hipot
tester. Custom cables will be required to connect the unit being tested to
the test equipment. These are considered test fixtures and will be
documented, verified, and validated as such.
. The Quality Assurance (QA) Final will be a stripped down version of the
System Test Fixture. It will not require bench top test equipment.
Assumptions:
. The system test pneumatic system could be eliminated if the unit's RF output
can be Controlled via its RS-232 port or method other than the foot switch.
If the unit's RF output can be controlled continuously without over heating
the unit and there is no requirement for power cycling, the majority of the
test equipment can be eliminated. This proposal estimates the worst case cost
for a 4 station run-in test fixture.
. The GBTF gold board set is not included in the cost of this proposal.
7. Additional Documentation Included
The following documentation will be created during the test development process.
. Manufacturing Test Plan.
. Test Specification Documents (supplied by customer).
. Test Fixture Documentation including Theory of operation, Verification and
Validation
<PAGE>
Procedures (one for each type of fixture).
. Test Fixture Verification and Validation Reports (one for each type of
fixture).
. Test Procedures (one for each test identified above).
. Test Procedure Verification Reports.
8. PCBA Design Upgrade $6,000
This section covers the added design work and costs to move the PCB mounted
switches to a new membrane switch panel. The plan would incorporate this design
concurrent with manufacturing transfer of the device, starting with concurrent
approval. SeaMED will provide the PCBA redesign, Rita will perform the redesign
of the Front Panel and overlay.
Value added service:
. Re-layout the LED PCBA to:
. Remove switches and obsolete traces
. Eliminate interference between PCB and connectors
. Trim/notch PCB top and bottom
. Add 11 position single row ribbon cable locking connector
. Eliminate extra mounting holes not needed
Assumptions:
. Existing electronic files are available for the PCB in a format that can be
used at SeaMED.
. No function or specification change to unit or unit performance.
. No re-qualification required.
Estimate - Labor NRE --- EE, PCB designer, ME, drafting -- $6,000

None.
At this time it is not envisioned that a prototype run the new PCBA
will be done. Film and tooling for the PCB will be billed out as a
pass-through cost when parts are ordered for production
TOTAL DESIGN NRE -- $6,000
9. Additional Engineering Services Requested By Rita Medical
Value Added Service:
. Review BOM dated 11/29/99 with 392 parts listed and audit to physical sample
provided by Rita Medical week of 1/3/00 to correct any BOM errors prior to
loading BOM into SeaMED MRP system. Manufacturers and P/Ns will also be

1. DESCRIPTION
The RITA Medical Systems, Inc. Model 1500 Series Electrosurgical Generator
is designed to provide monopolar radio frequency energy to be used for
coagulation and ablation of soft tissue. The unit is specifically designed
for use with RITA Electrosurgical Devices. It provides multiple
temperature sensor measurements, impedance and power monitoring to assist
the practitioner in delivering the desired energy to the target tissue.
The RITA Electrosurgical system consists of an RF generator, a disposable
electrode, here referred to as the device, a patient connection cable, a
return pad, a power cord, and may also include an auxiliary temperature
probe. The generator provides the RF energy to the device through the
cable. The device consists of a number of deployable branches, some or all
equipped with a thermocouple. The return pad, also known as the dispersive
electrode, provides the return path for the RF energy applied by the
device. The power cord is a medical grade line cord that provides AC power
to the generator. The system is capable of reading up to three auxiliary
temperatures through a passive auxiliary probe. This probe is not capable
of delivering any RF energy, and is used to provide temperature information
about the surrounding tissue. This probe is connected to the auxiliary
port of the generator via an auxiliary cable.
To use the system, the generator is plugged into the wall outlet. The
device is connected to the generator via the patient connection cable. The
dispersive electrode is placed on the appropriate location on the body and
connected to its port on the generator. Once the system is successfully
powered up, the user can set the parameters of the procedure such as the
mode of operation, procedure time, procedure temperature, and the power
delivery level. With the device placed in the tissue to be ablated and its
electrodes deployed, RF can be turned on. The system parameters are
continuously monitored and reported by the generator. If the measured
parameters are outside the acceptable limits, the RF energy delivery stops
and a message appears on the LCD display. The RF energy delivery ceases
once the procedure is completed based on the initial user defined
parameters.

2.10. User Interface
2.10.1. Front Panel Ports
2.10.1.1. Device Port: Provide means of connecting the
device to the generator via the patient cable.
The port is keyed for proper connection.
2.10.1.2. Auxiliary Port: Provides means of connecting the
passive probe to the generator via the auxiliary
cable. The port is keyed (different from the
Device port) for proper connection.
2.10.1.3. Return Pad Port: Provides means for connecting a
dual pad Dispersive Electrode to the generator.
2.10.1.4. Foot Pedal Port: Connects a pneumatic foot
switch for activating and deactivating RF
delivery.
2.10.2. Front Panel Switches
2.10.2.1. RF ON/OFF Switch: Push type switch to turn the
RF energy delivery ON and OFF.
2.10.2.2. Track Ablation Switch: Toggles the system in and
out of Track Ablation mode. In this mode the
power defaults to 15 watts and can be adjusted
from 0 to 25 watts.
2.10.2.3. Control Mode Switch: Sets the mode of operation.
Modes are:
. Automatic Temperature Control (ATC). Uses
temperature as feedback for delivery of power.
There are three Modes under ATC:
A. ATC on average of all selected
thermocouples. This is an automatic
control mode of operation where the
power delivery is served about a set
temperature point. The measured
temperature used in this control loop is
the average of all selected temperature
sensors of the device.
B. ATC on the highest reading. This is the
same as in A above, except that the
measured temperature for the control
loop is the highest reading of all the
selected thermocouple.
C. ATC on the lowest reading. This is the
same as in A above. except that the
measured temperature for the
<PAGE>
control loop is the lowest reading of
all the selected thermocouple.
. Power Control. This is an automatic control mode
of operation where the power delivery is servoed
about a set power. The system delivers the
maximum of the preset power for the preset
amount of time. In this mode measured
temperatures are displayed only, and are not
used in the control of the power delivery.
2.10.2.4. Set Temperature Switches: An up switch and a
down switch for setting the target temperature
set point in ATC mode. This is the maximum
temperature the system would try to achieve and
maintain during the procedure. Target
temperature can be set from 50-120(degrees)C
with 1(degrees)C resolution. Default is
100(degrees)C. Target temperature can be changed
at any time during the procedure.
2.10.2.5. Set Power Switches: An up switch and a down
switch to set the maximum power the system would
deliver during the procedure. In Power Control
default is set to 1 Watt, in ATC mode default is
set to 150 Watts. Power set resolution is 1
Watt. Switches when held down will auto
increment/decrement the Power set.
2.10.2.6. Timer Switches: Sets the time the treatment
would run at the set point temperature in ATC.
In Power mode this sets the RF delivery time.
Time can be set from 0.1 to 60.0 minutes in 0.1
minute resolution. Once this time is counted
down to zero, RF delivery ceases. An up switch
and a down switch set the Timer value. These
switches can be held down to auto increment
decrement. A third switch (Manual Timer Switch),
in the ATC mode allows the user to manually
start the count down once the RF delivery
starts. In ATC mode the count down starts when
the measured temperature is equal or greater
than the target temperature for 15 seconds.
Count down stops if the measured temperature is
5(degrees)C less than the target temperature for
15 seconds. Default timer is set to 8.0 minutes.
2.10.2.7. Device Temperature Switches: Each Device
Temperature sensor has an accompanying switch
adjacent to its display. The switch is used to
select or deselect the reading of the sensor in
the temperature control algorithm. If the sensor
is selected, its reading is used in the
calculation of the average device temperature,
or in determining the highest or lowest measured
temperatures. The last sensor can not be
deselected in the ATC mode prior or during RF
delivery.
<PAGE>
2.10.2.8. Auxiliary Temperature Switches: Each Auxiliary
Temperature sensor has an accompanying switch
adjacent to its display. These switches function
similar to Device Temperature sensors.
2.10.3. Front Panel LED's
2.10.3.1. RF LED: A blue LED that flashes once a second
when the system is in standby. When RF is turned
on, this LED stays on continuously. The LED is
OFF under system failure condition.
2.10.3.2. Track Ablation LED: A green LED that is OFF when
this mode is not selected, flashing
approximately every second when the mode is
selected, and is ON when the mode is active.
2.10.3.3. Device Temperature LED's: Each Device
Temperature sensor has an accompanying green LED
adjacent to its display. The LED is ON when the
temperature sensor is selected and is OFF when
it is deselected.
2.10.3.4. Auxiliary Temperature LED's: Each Auxiliary
Temperature sensor has an accompanying green LED
adjacent to its display. The LED's function
similar to Device LED's.
2.10.4. Front Panel Displays:
2.10.4.1. LCD Display: A 40 x 2 character back lit LCD.
Informs the user of the status of the generator.
2.10.4.2. Control Mode Display: A two digit, seven
segment, green LED display for displaying the
mode of operation. It displays:
A For ATC average on all selected thermocouples
H For ATC on the highest thermocouple reading
L For ATC on the lowest thermocouple reading
P For Automatic Power Control
C For Track Ablation
2.10.4.3. Set Temp Display: A three digit, seven segment,
green LED display for displaying the Set
Temperature in whole units of (degrees)C.
<PAGE>
2.10.4.4. Set Temp Display: A three digit, seven segment,
green LED display for displaying the Set Power
in whole units of watts.
2.10.4.5. Power Delivered Display: A three digit, seven
segment, green LED display for displaying
instantaneous power delivered in whole units of
watts.
2.10.4.6. Timer Display: A three digit, seven segment,
green LED display. Displays time to 1/10 of a
minute resolution. Maximum allowed time is 60.0
minutes. This display, prior to the start of the
treatment, shows the time set for treatment at
the set point temperature. Once the treatment
starts, the display shows the remaining time of
treatment at the preset temperature. If the set
point is lost, the timer also stops. The count
down resumes once the target temperature is
reached again. During Cool Down cycle, this
display counts up 0.5 minute to indicate the
duration of this cycle.
2.10.4.7. RF Time Display: A three digit, seven segment,
green LED display. Displays total time RF has
been on in 1/10 of a minute resolution. The
display resets to zero at the onset of a new
treatment cycle.
2.10.4.8. Impedance Display: A three digit, seven segment,
green LED display. Displays the real time
impedance value of the tissue in whole units of
ohms. The display shows impedance range of 0-
999(OHMS). If the measured impedance is above
999(OHMS), the display shows OP.
2.10.4.9. Device Temperature Displays: 6, three digit,
seven segment, green LED displays that display
the temperature readings of the device
thermocouples in whole units of (degrees)C for
temperatures between 15-125(degrees)C. For
temperatures below 15(degrees)C, LO is
displayed. For temperatures greater than
125(degrees)C and less than 150(degrees)C HI is
displayed. For temperatures above 150(degrees)C
OP is displayed. OP is also displayed if there
are no thermocouples present in that location.
If all temperature channels measure OP, the
displays remain blank. When HI is displayed or
when OP is displayed for values above
150(degrees)C, the actual temperature readings
are used for the temperature control algorithm.
2.10.4.10. Auxiliary Temperature Displays: 3, three digit,
seven segment, green LED displays that display
the temperature readings of the thermocouples in
the passive auxiliary probe. The auxiliary probe
displays functions similar to the Device
Temperature Displays.

This is the same as in A
above; except that the
measured temperature for the
control loop is the highest
reading of all the selected
thermocouple.
D. ATC on the lowest reading.
This is the same as in A
above, except that the
measured temperature for the
control loop is the lowest
reading of all the selected
thermocouple.
2. Power Control. This is an automatic
control mode of operation where the
power delivery is servoed about a
set power. The system delivers the
pre set power for the pre set
amount of time. In this mode
measured temperatures are displayed
only, and are not used in the
control of the power delivery.
3.8. Control Mode Display Displays:
"A" For ATC on all selected
thermocouples
"H" For ATC on the highest thermocouple
reading
"L" For ATC on the lowest thermocouple
reading
"P" For Automatic Power Control
"C" For Track Ablation
3.9. Set Temp Display Displays the set temperature in whole
units of (degrees)C.
3.10. Set Temp Switches The up arrow increments and the down
arrow decrements the temperature set
point. The set point is the maximum
temperature the system would try to
achieve and maintain during the
procedure. Temperature can be set from
50-120(degrees)C. The switches can be
held down for auto increment/decrement.
3.11. Set Power Switches Sets the maximum power the system would
deliver during the procedure. The up
arrow increments and the down arrow
decrements the setting respectively.
Power can be set from 1-150 watts. The
switches can be held down for auto
increment/decrement.
3.12. Set Power Display Displays the power setting in whole
units of watts.
3.13. Power Delivered Display Displays the instantaneous power
delivered in whole units of watts.
3.14 Timer Switches Sets the time that the treatment would
run at the set point temperature. Once
this time is count down to zero the RF
delivery ceases. The up
<PAGE>
arrow switch increments and the down
arrow switch decrements the desired time
setting. These two switches can be held
down for auto increment/decrement. The
third switch allows the user to manually
start the count down once the RF
delivery starts.
3.15. Timer Display Displays the time to 1/10 of a minute
resolution. Maximum allowed time is 60.0
minutes. This display, prior to the
start of the treatment, shows the time
set for treatment at the set point
temperature. Once the treatment starts
the display shows the remaining time of
treatment at the preset temperature. If
the set point is lost the timer also
stops. The count down resumes once the
target temperature is reached again.
During the cool down cycle this display
counts up 0.5 minute to indicate the
duration of this cycle.
3.16. RF Time Display Displays the total time the RF has been
on in 1/10 of a minute resolution. This
display resets to zero at the onset of a
new treatment cycle. A treatment cycle
is considered to be complete if in the
previous cycle the Timer reached zero or
if TA mode was activated.
3.17. Impedance Display Displays the real time impedance value
of the tissue in ohms. The display shows
impedance range of 0-999U. When the
measured impedance is above 999 U, the
display shows OP.
3.18. Device Temperatures Displays the temperature readings of the
device thermocouples in whole units of
(degrees)C for temperatures between 15-
125(degrees)C. For temperatures below
15(degrees)C, LO is displayed. For
temperatures greater than 125(degrees)C
and less than 150(degrees)C, HI is
displayed. For temperatures above
150(degrees)C, OP is displayed. OP is
also displayed if there are no
thermocouples present in that location.
If all temperature channels measure OP,
this may indicate that the device is not
connected. In this case all temperature
displays remain blank. When HI is
displayed, or if OP is displayed as
result of temperature going above
150(degrees)C, the actual measured
temperatures are used for temperature
control algorithm.
3.19. Device Switches and LED's Each device temperature display has an
accompanying switch and a green LED. The
<PAGE>
switch toggles the LED on and off. When
the LED is on, the reading of that
temperature sensor is used in the
temperature control algorithm. If the
LED is off, the displayed value is not
used in the calculation of the average
device temperature, or in determining
the highest or lowest measured
temperatures. The last sensor can not be
deselected in ATC mode. The sensors that
indicate OP prior to the activation of
RF are excluded from temp algorithm in
ATC mode and their LED's are OFF.
3.20. Auxiliary Temperatures Displays the temperature readings of the
thermocouples in the passive auxiliary
probe. The auxiliary probe has the same
features as in the device temperatures.
3.21. Aux Switches and LED's Functions similar to the switches and
LED's for the device temperature and
LED's.
3.22. LCD Display: A 40X2 character display used to inform
the user about the status of the
procedure
4. RS-232 Protocol: The format of the data string is 0XXXXXXX0XXXXXXX, with
the high bit for the start of packet signal. The protocol is 9600 baud, 8
bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. The 35 byte packet is formatted as follows:
Byte 0: 80(hex): bit 7 is the start of packet, bits 6-0 are the version
number
Byte 1: 00-7 F: counter, gets incremented by one with each packet then 127
wraps to 0
Byte 2: mode and status, 3 LO bits are mode, 0=power, 1 =ternp LO, 2=temp
AVG, 3=temp HI, bits 3 and 4 are status, 0=standby, 1 =ready, 2= RF ON

Bytes 11 & 12: impedance, 14 bit number, units are .10 ohms
Bytes 13 through 24: device temps 1 through 6. 14 bits, .10 degree units
Bytes 25 & 26: aux temp 1, Bytes 27,28:aux temp2, Bytes 29 & 30: aux temp
3. 14 bits, .10 degree units
Bytes 31 & 32: temperature set point, 14 bits, .10 degree units
Byte 33: tool thermocouple (TC) selection, bits0 -5 represent TC 1-6, 0 =
OFF, 1 = ON
Byte 34: aux temp selection, bits 0-2 represent TC 1 -3, 0 = OFF, 1 = ON
Byte 35: Bits set to "1" if true else "0"
Bit 0 is set to 0, bit 1 is Track Ablation mode on, bit 2 is target
temp reached, bit 3 is target Temp lost, bit 4 is target temp not
reached, bit 5 is manual activation, bit 6 is cool down, and bit 7 is
RF interrupted.
Byte 36: Bits set to "1" if true else "0"
<PAGE>
Bit 0 is set to 0, bit 1 is impedance too high, bit 2 is impedance too
low, bit 3 is heat sink temp too high, bit 4 is voltage test failure,
bit 5, 6, and 7 are set to zero.
Byte 37: 7 bit checksum, 00 - 7F computed by adding all previous bytes in
packet and using the 7 LSB's.
5. Operational Specifications (poling, refresh rate): The internal timer is
configured to generate an interrupt 100 times a second. This interrupt is
used to scan the front panel switches, feed the UART any data that is ready
to be sent out, update the procedure timer, and read the next thermocouple
(each device thermocouple and the cold junction compensation is read 10
times a second. The auxiliary probe temperatures are read 5 times a
second).
Every 10 times through the foreground loop checks the status of the
generator, updates the front panel, queues up a packet of data for the
serial port (from the processor buffer), resets and checks the watch dog
timer, and runs the RF generator loop. During RF generator loop device
impedance and split pad impedance are measured and RF power delivery is
controlled.
The thermocouple temperature displays, power delivered display, timer and
impedance readings are updated at a rate of once per second. Other
displays and LED's are updated in response to button presses and status of
the system.
6. Temperature Set Point Control: At the onset of RF energy delivery, the set
point temperature is first set to measured temperature. The set point is
then increased at the rate of 1(degrees)C per 2.5 seconds until the desired
set point temperature is reached.
7. Power Control and Power Ramp-Up: A proportional-derivative (PD) filter is
used to generate the change in power demand. The PD filter consists of a
proportional term, which is the difference between the desired temperature
and the actual temperature multiplied by a constant, and a derivative term,
which is the change in temperature error multiplied by a constant. The
proportional term forces the temperature towards the target temperature and
the derivative term provides damping. The demand is increased if the
change in error is increasing and the demand is decreased if the change in
error is decreasing.

8.1.3. All segments of the LED displays light up for duration of test
8.1.4. All switches are disabled
8.1.5. RF LED turns on for the duration of the test
8.1.6. TA LED turns on for the duration of the test
8.1.7. After a successful completion of the test the system goes into
after initial diagnostic state
8.1.8. The following tests are performed during this period:
RAM Test: RAM test is the first power-up test. First the
external RAM and then the processor internal RAM are tested.
The test is composed of writing alternate 0's and l's in
selected addresses and verifying the contents.
ROM Test: This is done by calculating a 16 bit CRC for the low
and hi parts of the ROM.
Voltage Tests: +5V, +12V, -12V, and the high voltage (+36V)
are checked. Their values need to be within +/-10% of the
nominal.
Reference Impedance lest: The internal relays of the RF board
are switched to the I 00~ internal reference resistor. A few
watts of RF energy are generated and put into this resistor.
The resistance is then
<PAGE>
calculated by reading the current through and the voltage
across this resistor. The calculated value should be within
+/-10% of the reference resistor value of 100.
Heat Sink Temp Test: The temperature of the main transistor
heat sink has to be less than 50+5(degrees)C. If not the
-
actions of section 8.1.9 are taken. Once the temperature is
less than 50+5(degrees)C, the system exits the power-up test.
-
Temp Board Cal. Voltage Test: A reference voltage is read
through the temp measurement circuitry. This reading has to be
within 5% of nominal.
Ambient Temp Test: The cold-junction compensation sensor is
read. The measured temperature should be between 10-
40(degrees)C. If the measured temperature is outside the range
the appropriate action is taken as described in table of
section 8.1.9. Once the temperature is within the range, the
system exits the power-up test.
8.1.9. If the power up test fails the following happens. To recover,
the power needs to be cycled (turn OFF, then ON).
NOTE: Due to the nature of the failure, the expected the following
table may not result.

8.19 Fatal Error State:
A Fatal Error State is a state caused by a system failure at any time
after the completion of the initial power-up test. The system can
only recover by cycling the power. The following tests are performed:
Hardware Watch Dog Timer: Every 0.25 second the processor refreshes
the watch dog. If this does not happen the RF is disabled. The watch
dog status is checked once a second. If the watch dog is tripped, the
system halts.
Voltage Check: The internal voltages are checked once a second as
described in sections 8.1.8 and 8.1.9.
Foreground Loop Test: The foreground loop has to be completed before
it can be run again.
Temp Board Cal. Voltage Test: The Ref voltage through temp signal
processing circuitry is read once a second.
Under this condition the following happens:
NOTE: Due to the nature of the failure, the expected outcome
outlined below may not result
8.19.1 LCD displays "SYSTEM FAILURE X TURN POWER OFF"
(Where X is 3 for voltage test and 6 for temp cal. voltage test)
8.19.2 All device temperature LED's are OFF.

switches are disabled.
8.19.14 Power Delivered display is blank.
8.19.15 RF Time display is blank.
8.19.16 Impedance display is blank.
8.20 Soft Error State: At the completion of the power up test, in
addition to the tests mentioned in section 8.19, the system
routinely monitors the device impedance and heat sink temperature.
The output current is also monitored and is limited to 3.5 Amps by
adjusting the output power. This action is internally controlled and
does not result in any prompts.
8.20.1 Impedance Out of Range state:
If impedance is out of the allowable range, prior to
delivery of RF energy, activation of RF switch keeps the
system in the current mode. Additionally the buzzer beeps
with three half second beeps and on the second line of the
LCD display "IMPEDANCE TOO HIGH" or "IMPEDANCE TOO LOW" is
displayed (any existing text on the second line is replaced
with the impedance too high or too low message). In this
state once the impedance measurement is within the
operational range, the impedance too high or too low
message is removed from the second line of the LCD and the
buzzer beeps once for one second. If correcting the
impedance out of range issue makes the system ready for RF
delivery, the system goes directly into ready state and the
impedance too high or too low message is removed. The
acceptable impedance range in all modes is 10-999U.
If impedance goes out of the allowable range during RF
delivery, the system remains in the current mode with the
LCD displaying "RF OFF" on the first line along with the
mode display. Additionally on the second line of the LCD
"IMPEDANCE TOO HIGH" or "IMPEDANCE TOO LOW" is displayed
(any existing text on the second line is replaced with the
impedance too high or too low message). The buzzer gives
three half second beeps. In this mode once the impedance
measurement is within the operational range, the "RF OFF"
in the first line is replaced with "READY" and the buzzer
beeps once for one second. The second line remains until RF
is activated or if the mode is changed.
<PAGE>
8.20.2 Heat Sink Temperature Test:
After the completion of the initial power-up tests, the
temperature of the heat sink is routinely measured. If the
temperature is above 60(degrees)C the system remains in
the current mode with the LCD displaying "RF OFF" on the
first line along with the mode display. Additionally on the
second line of the LCD "SYSTEM TEMP TOO HIGH" is displayed
(any existing text on the second line is replaced with the
system temp too high message). The buzzer gives three half
second beeps. In this mode once the temperature of the heat
sink is less than 50(degrees)C the "RF OFF" in the first
line is replaced with "READY" and the buzzer beeps once for
one second. The second line of the LCD will be blank.
