Chapter 7 - Safety and Function Testing
Test the 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
Attach the hand piece to the generator as described in Chapter 4 – System Setup, then 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.
Note: In the Ready mode, for self-diagnostic purposes, the system sends a low-amplitude signal to
the blade, causing the blade to vibrate slightly. This vibration does not pose a risk to the user.
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
Press the TEST button to perform a User-Initiated Test. The system will run a series of tests to
ensure the generator and hand piece are in proper working condition.
9
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).
After the test is completed, 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.
10
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.
Warning
: To avoid user injury, ensure that the test tip is clear of tissue, other instruments, or other
objects before activating the system.
