Test hand piece, generator, and foot switch for safety and function according to hospital protocol. Refer to
individual package inserts for safety and function testing for other multi-patient use components.
Safety Test
Generator:
A qualified hospital technician should perform a leakage current test.
Foot Switch:
Examine the foot pedals, cable connectors, and cable for cracks or other damage and replace
if damaged.
Other Components:
Examine the components by following the instructions in their individual package
inserts.
Function Test
1
Perform complete instrument preparation and hand piece attachment as described in Chapter 3 –
System Setup and Operation. Attach the test tip rather than an instrument.
2
Verify that the orange STANDBY indicator is illuminated.
3
Push the STANDBY button to leave Standby mode and enter Ready mode.
4
Verify that the green READY indicator is illuminated.
5
Verify that MIN Power Level 3 and MAX Power Level 5 are displayed.
6
Push the Increase and Decrease Power Level button up and down to confirm the MIN Power Level
changes from 1 to 5.
7
Turn the generator off. Wait five seconds, then turn the generator back on. Wait ten seconds, then
confirm MIN Power Level 3 and MAX Power Level 5 are displayed. Confirm the generator is not
being activated unexpectedly.
8
Place the generator in Ready mode by depressing the STANDBY button. Hold the hand piece so that
the distal portion is in the air and step on the MAX foot switch pedal (before activation begins, a five-
second system check will be performed – “TEST IN PROGRESS” will appear on the display). Verify
that the MAX Power Level indicator on the control panel flashes and that the MAX activation tone is
heard.
Warning:
To avoid user injury, ensure that the test tip is clear of tissue, other instruments, or other
objects before activating the system.
9
Hold the hand piece so that the distal portion is in air and step on the MIN foot switch pedal. Verify
that the MIN Power Level indicator on the control panel flashes and that the MIN activation tone is
heard.

To avoid user injury, ensure that the test tip is clear of tissue, other instruments, or other
objects before activating the system.
