• When attaching the head of the torque wrench to the rotation knob, do not damage
the shaft insulation.
1 Confirm that the “Use by” date has not passed and the sterile pack shows no signs of
damage such as a break, peeled stickers, contamination, or the presence of moisture.
If any damage is detected to the package, the sterility may be compromised. Do not
use the THUNDERBEAT instrument and replace it with a new THUNDERBEAT
instrument.
2 Open the sterile pack and carefully take out the packaging spacer and the
THUNDERBEAT instrument from the sterile pack using good sterile technique and
check the appearance of the instrument, especially confirming the following:
• The shaft is not torn, cut, peeled or rolled up.
• The metallic section on the shaft and the grasping section is not corroded or
discolored.
• The appearance is free of bending, deformation, and other irregularity.
In addition, if the packaging spacer is enclosed in the sterile pack, carefully takeout it
from the sterile pack using good sterile technique.
Should any damage and/or irregularity be observed, do not use the THUNDERBEAT
instrument and replace with a new THUNDERBEAT instrument.
3 Check the appearance of the transducer for rust, disconnection, cracks, loosening,
and transducer cord damage. Should any irregularity be observed, replace it with a
new one.
4 Be sure to disconnect the transducer plug from the ultrasonic generator before
connecting or disconnecting the transducer to/from the THUNDERBEAT instrument.
5 Insert the instrument connection of the transducer into the transducer connection of
the THUNDERBEAT instrument.
