Routine Maintenance and Periodic Safety Checks
When should the energy platform be checked or serviced?
Covidien recommends that the energy platform be inspected by qualified service
personnel at least once a year. This inspection should include adjusting the system to
factory specifications.
When should the power cord be checked or replaced?
Check the power cord before each use of the system or at the intervals recommended by
your institution. Check the power cord for exposed wires, cracks, frayed edges, or a
damaged connector. Replace damaged cords.
When should the fuses be replaced?
An internal component malfunction can damage the fuses. The system fuses may need to
be replaced if the system fails the power-on self-test or if the system stops functioning,
even though it is receiving power from a wall outlet.
Notice
Refer to the energy platform service manual for maintenance recommendations and function and
output-power verification procedures.
