System Test

CAUTION: System test should always be done in advance of prepping patient for surgery to minimize the risk to patient in case of
system malfunction.

Power On/Off

Turn the Main Power On/Off Switch (rear panel) to the ON position. Fan should start and the Power LED Display should illuminate.
WARNING: WHEN ULTRASOUND OUTPUT POWER IS ON, DO NOT TOUCH THE PROBE. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN INJURY.
READY/STANDBY
Place the Ready/Standby Switch (front panel) in the READY position. Turn the Amplitude Control Knob to setting '3' . Depress the Left
Footswitch. The Ultrasound ON Light should illuminate. A bell type sound should be heard for 1 second upon pressing of the Footswitch.
Placing the distal end of the Probe in sterile liquid should result in an audible hiss or noise and bubbles of liquid should appear below the
distal end of the Probe in the liquid.
Release Footswitch
Release the Footswitch. The Ultrasound output should be disabled.
System Run Test
Depress Pedal to turn on Ultrasound Output Power. Hold distal end of Probe in air and run system for 15 seconds. Unit should run normally
with no visual or audible alarms activated. Running unit for 15 seconds checks Probe for defects and confirms all electrical and mechanical
connections.
Temperature Test
Release Pedal. Gently feel tip of Probe. Probe temperature should not be significantly above ambient temperature, regardless of how long it
was operating. If Probe feels hot at the junction of the Transducer and Probe, retighten with wrenches supplied and retest. If Probe feels hot
at any point along its length, replace Probe and retest.
WARNING: IF PROBE IS CRACKED OR DAMAGED, SURFACE TEMPERATURE CAN BECOME VERY HOT, AND PROBE MAY PRESENT A
BURN HAZARD TO PATIENT OR CLINICIAN IF TOUCHED. EXERCISE CARE IN TESTING AND HANDLING OF PROBES AT ALL
TIMES. PROBES SHOULD BE TESTED FOR TEMPERATURE RISE AT VARIOUS INTERVALS DURING PROCEDURE TO PREVENT
BURNING OF PATIENT DUE TO DAMAGED OR CRACKED PROBE.
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH PROBE WHILE IT IS ACTIVATED.
WARNING: IF THE PROBE HAS BEEN USED IN A SURGICAL SITE, DO NOT ACTIVATE THE ULTRASONICS WITH THE PROBE IN OPEN AIR
WITHOUT FIRST WIPING THE PROBE LENGTH WITH A STERILE WIPE TO REMOVE ANY FLUIDS.
