5.3 Operation of Ultrasound Generator
CAUTION!
Danger of overload and fracture of the sonotrode.
Using the sonotrode at a higher power setting than the maximum
permissible power stage can lead to premature material fatigue and
fracture of the sonotrode.
It is not permissible using the sonotrodes at higher power stages
than the maximum permissible power stage indicated.
CAUTION!
Danger from overheating of transducer and sonotrode.
During operation, cool the transducer and sonotrode by continous
suction. Operating the device without or with insufficient suction
and cooling can lead to overheating and damage due to quick and
severe wear.
Never operate the device without adequate suction or cooling.
CAUTION!
Danger of burns! Mind your fingers!
Do not hold the activated sonotrode between your fingers.
.
IMPORTANT!
The tip of the sonotrode must be visible at all times.
The sonotrode tip must be in contact with the stone while activated.
Avoid contact o f tissue with the tip or sides of the sonotrode ; tissue dam-
age could result.
Avoid pressing the probe against the endoscope during operation. This
may stall the transducer and heat the s onotrode with in the working chan-
nel.
.
IMPORTANT!
Do not drop or struck the transducer against another object with may re-
sult in mechanical or electrical damage.
.
IMPORTANT!
During operation make sure that the transducer and the sonotrode are
sufficiently cooled by fluid suction.
We recommend having a transducer and the required sonotrodes avail-
able as backup units.
.
NOTE!
When using the device we recommend wearing the supplied ear protec-
tion.
