ASSEMBLY

1

SCRUBBED
PERSON

Slide the generator into
the opening at the back
of the dissector until it
makes contact with the
front of the dissector

opening.

2

SCRUBBED
PERSON

Hold the dissector shaft­rotation wheel. Turn the
torque knob clockwise
until it clicks twice.

Tip: Listen and feel for
the two clicks. This

will conrm that the

generator is properly
attached to the dissector.

After assembly

To ensure the device meets required essential performance,
it should be tested after assembly as follows:

With the clamping jaws open, test the minimum power

∙

mode (energy button depressed to rst position) and
maximum power mode (energy button fully depressed).

3

SCRUBBED
PERSON

Place the sterile battery
insertion guide onto the
open dissector handle

and hold rmly.

Tip: Make sure the
battery insertion guide
is completely seated on
the dissector. Improper
placement will make it

dicult to insert the

battery

.

If the device generates dierent pulsating tones for each

∙

power mode and a green LED is present, assembly is
complete and the device is ready to use.

If inaudible or undierentiated tones or a non-green LED

∙

are present, troubleshooting must be performed.

CIRCULATING
PERSON

Orient the battery as
shown on the battery
insertion guide. Insert
the battery pack through
the battery insertion
guide into the handle of
the dissector.

Tip: The scrubbed person
should provide additional
support by holding the
battery insertion guide
onto the dissector during

battery insertion.

5

CIRCULATING
PERSON

After the battery pack is
seated in the dissector,
remove the now
contaminated battery
insertion guide from the

sterile eld.

6

SCRUBBED
PERSON

Do not touch the battery
pack. Close the battery
compartment door until
there is tactile feedback
and an audible click.

Tip: Press down on
the top of the battery
compartment door
directly over the battery
door latch for easiest

closure.

CHANGING A BATTERY PACK DURING A PROCEDURE

1

SCRUBBED
PERSON

Hold the device with the
battery compartment
door up. Press the battery
door release button to

open the compartment.

2

SCRUBBED
PERSON

Place the new sterile
battery insertion guide
over the exposed battery
pack. Seat the guide onto
the open dissector handle

and hold rmly.

Tip: Ensure the battery
pack handle is facing
towards the jaws of the
device and away from the
battery door hinge. Do
not attempt to place the
battery insertion guide
while the handle is in the
improper orientation.
If the battery handle
is facing the wrong
direction, tilt the jaws
of the instrument down

towards the oor. This will

cause the handle to fall
into proper orientation.

Grasp the battery pack
handle and pull the
battery pack through the
insertion guide, out of the
dissector, and into a clean,
nonsterile environment.

Tip 1: Make sure the
battery insertion guide
is completely seated on
the dissector. Improper
placement will make

the battery dicult

to remove.

Tip 2: The scrubbed
person should hold the
battery insertion guide

rmly on the dissector.
