  • Page 7: Chapter 1 - Warnings, Precautions And Notes

    Chapter 1 - Warnings, Precautions and Notes Warnings and Precautions • This equipment, in conjunction with the accessories, is intended to produce high-frequency mechanical energy which enables hemostatic cutting and/or coagulation of soft tissue. • Safe and effective ultrasonic surgery is dependent not only upon equipment design, but also, to a large extent, upon factors under control of the operator.

  • Page 8: Notes

    Service Manual • Do not connect the The H ™ Generator 300 System to an ungrounded outlet. Grounding ARMONIC reliability can only be achieved when this equipment is connected to a hospital-grade receptacle. • Spilling or spraying fluids on or into the generator or immersing the generator may result in damage to the generator and risk of shock or fire hazard.

  • Page 9: Chapter 2 - General Description

    Chapter 2 - General Description System Description The H ™ Generator 300 System utilizes ultrasonic energy to enable hemostatic cutting and/or ARMONIC coagulation of soft tissue. The system consists of an ultrasonic generator, a foot switch, an optional hand switching adaptor, a hand piece, and a variety of open and minimally invasive instruments. Note: Throughout this manual “instrument(s)”...
