Reason/Issue	Medtronic has found through device testing that if the foot switch is not connected to the Model 8930 RF generator, there is the potential for an electrostatic discharge on the foot switch connector port to toggle the generator RF output on or off. This behaviour mimics the performance of operation of the footswitch.
Recall Action	Recall for Product Correction
Recall Action Instructions	Medtronic is sending an insulating cap for placing over the foot switch connector port located on the rear panel of the Model 8930 RF Generator. The insulating cap is not necessary if the foot switch is connected.
