• When the THUNDERBEAT instrument is withdrawn from the patient due to the
occurrence of an error display or other irregularities, the probe tip may break and
fall off due to friction between the trocar and the instrument or due to the stress
caused by cleaning the probe tip.
• The material of the probe tip is titanium alloy. It is radio-opaque.
• Use a plastic uterine manipulator.
• The following technique, drilling with small biting, is just one example for TLH
colpotomy or LSH amputation to avoid grasping a large bite of tissue, and
tips/techniques are not limited to this. Details on clinical surgical technique are the
responsibility of trained specialists. Patient safety in surgical examinations and
surgical treatment can be ensured through appropriate handling by the physician
and the medical facility.
Narrowly open the grasping section and use the probe tip to drill in laterally at a
shallow angle while activating the Seal & Cut mode. Close the grasping section
slowly and cut through tissue using the distal half of the grasping section to
achieve a slow cut and shallow bites around the cervix.
