Insert the THUNDERBEAT or SONICBEAT transducer into the handle.

Attach the head of the torque wrench to the rotation knob.

While holding only the stabilizer (not the handle) slowly turn the torque wrench clockwise until you hear a click. The transducer is now firmly in place. Remove the torque wrench and stabilizer.

Mount the stabilizer on the transducer.

For disassembling the instrument and transducer, use the torque wrench to turn the rotation knob counterclockwise while holding the stabilizer.

THUNDERBEAT & SONICBEAT Probe Check

The PROBE CHECK function initiates output while the probe is outside the human body to verify the probe is functioning properly and to confirm a secure connection of the transducer to the THUNDERBEAT or SONICBEAT instrument.

1. Press the PROBE CHECK button to initiate the PROBE CHECK procedure.

PROBE CHECK

2. Confirm that the handpiece is not being used on tissue and press “OK”.

3. With the grasping section open, initiate the probe check by depressing the handpiece button and holding.

4. After 3 seconds of activation, the probe check will notify you if the probe is functioning properly or if it needs to be replaced.

THUNDERBEAT SEAL Settings

There are three SEAL mode settings. The higher the setting, the longer bipolar energy is applied to the tissue.

b SEAL mode Level 3 provides the longest minimum SEAL time.

b For fastest sealing, use Level 1

Pressing the ‘+’ will increase the SEAL mode level

Pressing the ‘-’ will decrease the SEAL mode level

Split Type

The Right side of the CQM will display green when adequate patient contact is achieved with Split-Type Neutral Electrodes. With Split-Type neutral electrodes, the ESG-400 monitors resistance levels to ensure the neutral electrode is properly attached to the patient.

Non-Split Type

A user warning will be displayed when a Non-split neutral electrode is connected. Non-split type electrodes can be used in conjunction with the ESG-400, however, the CQM will not detect patient contact with Non-split type electrodes. The left side of the CQM will illuminate green.
