Ch.3
Prepare the THUNDERBEAT instrument, the ultrasonic generator, compatible electrosurgical
generator, the transducer compatible ancillary equipment (shown in the “System chart” in the
Appendix) and other equipment to be used with the THUNDERBEAT instrument. The required
personal protective equipment, such as eyewear, a face mask, moisture-resistant clothing, and
chemical-resistant gloves that fit properly to prevent skin exposure. Refer to the respective instruction
manuals for each piece of ancillary equipment.
 Connect the transducer to the THUNDERBEAT instrument
to complete the THUNDERBEAT
WARNING
• Make sure that the THUNDERBEAT instrument and the transducer are connected
firmly. If they are secured only with the hand, energy output may not be available
and damage to the transducer or excessive heating of the exterior may also result.
Even if output is available, performance may be compromised.
• Use the provided torque wrench and stabilizer for the connection and
disconnection. If another tool or a hand is used for securing, incomplete
connection, damage to the THUNDERBEAT instrument or the transducer, or
impossibility of disconnection may result.
• If the rotation knob is not rotating freely upon attaching a transducer to the
THUNDERBEAT instrument, loosen the rotation knob once and rotate it again.
Rotating the rotation knob with excessive force or putting the transducer in a
slanted angle may damage the threads.
• When using the torque wrench, securely hold only its grip section. Holding any
other part of the wrench may cause the operator’s hand being pinched in the gap of
the torque wrench injury and resulting in insufficient tightening or over-tightening of
the transducer connection.
• Stop application of force to the torque wrench when an audible click is heard.
• Both torque wrench and stabilizer are single-use products after and are discarded
after every procedure. Do not resterilize or reuse them.
• When mounting the stabilizer on the transducer, do not damage the transducer
cord.
