Unpacking Instructions
The H
ARMONIC
™ Generator 300 System includes several components that are purchased separately. Upon
receiving the ordered components, check for visible shipping damage. Do not attempt to use any component
if it appears damaged. If damage is seen, contact your Ethicon Endo-Surgery representative.
Note: The original packaging should be saved for future storing and/or transporting of the device. Warranty
may be voided if the unit is not returned to the service center in the original packaging or equivalent
packaging which will protect the unit from damage during shipment.
System components may include the following parts (for product codes, see Chapter 14 – System
Specifications):
Generator 300 - includes the generator, power cord, user manual, and service manual.
Note: The Operator’s Manual includes a troubleshooting guide (see back pocket of manual binder). Remove
the self-adhesive guide’s backing and adhere the guide to the top panel of the generator. Placement guides for
the Troubleshooting Guide are found on the generator’s top panel.
Foot Switch - includes the foot switch and detachable cable assembly.
Note: The foot switch is required if the system will be used with coagulating shears or instruments that are
not compatible with the hand switching adaptor. Since the generator has receptacles for two foot switches,
two foot switches may have been shipped.
Cart - the cart is optional. It is designed to hold one H
ARMONIC
™ Generator 300 unit. The cart requires
assembly; instructions are included with the cart.
Initial Setup
1 Confirm that the generator power switch is OFF during setup .
Caution : To avoid injury, in the event that accidental activation occurs, the H
ARMONIC
™ Generator
300 System instrument blades should not be in contact with drapes or flammable materials while not
in use. During prolonged activation, the instrument blades may become hot. Avoid unintended blade
contact with drapes, surgical gowns, or other unintended sites after activation.
2 Secure the generator on its cart or on another suitable fixture. To secure the generator on its cart,
place the generator’s rubber feet into the corresponding holes on the cart. Push down on the
generator’s top panel.
Caution : To prevent overheating during use, ensure that the air vents found on the generator’s
bottom and back panels are not blocked and that they allow adequate clearance from obstructions to
allow air to flow freely through the generator enclosure. Avoid placing the generator on a soft
surface.
Warning: The H
ARMONIC
™ Generator 300 System must be operated within the required ambient
operating conditions. (Refer to Chapter 14 – System Specifications for requirements.)
