 Inspecting the combination with the trocar
WARNING
• The outer diameter of the shaft of the THUNDERBEAT instrument is 5.5 mm. Use a
trocar with a corresponding size. Be sure to confirm the THUNDERBEAT
instrument and trocar compatibility prior to use.
• When inserted through a trocar whose inner diameter has a sharp edge or tight fit,
damage may occur to the shaft insulation. Prior to use, insert the THUNDERBEAT
into the trocar and confirm that the insulation of the shaft is not damaged.
CAUTION
When inserting or withdrawing the THUNDERBEAT into or from the trocar, close
the control handle by hand firmly. Do not open the control handle while inserting or
withdrawing the THUNDERBEAT. This would put excessive stress on the grasping
section and may cause the handle and trocar to be broken. There is a case where
manipulation of the handle would not be relayed to the grasping section. This is
because the internal mechanism of the handle is designed to break when
excessive stress is applied to the grasping section during use.
1 Hold the control handle to close the grasping section of the THUNDERBEAT
instrument, and carefully insert the THUNDERBEAT into the trocar.
2 Confirm that the grasping section and the probe tip of the THUNDERBEAT instrument
are extending from the end of the trocar.
3 Make sure that the shaft moves smoothly in the trocar tube. If not, replace the trocar.
4 After confirming the compatibility, carefully withdraw the THUNDERBEAT from the
trocar.
