tional by use of the appropriate forceps or by
connecting a jumper between the center and
right hand Bipolar Output receptacle on the
Output Panel. The effect will be identical to
depressing the bipolar footswitch.
12. Verify that the Single and Dual Dispersive
Electrode Status / Alarm Indicators alternately
flash red. Connect a single dispersive elec-
trode to the Dispersive Electrode Receptacle.
Confirm the Single Dispersive Electrode
Status / Alarm Indicator is steady green.
13. Depress the Cut treadle of the Monopolar
footswitch. The yellow Cut Activation indica-
tor should light and the cut activation tone
should sound.
14. While continuing to press the Cut treadle
of the footswitch, press the Coag treadle.
The yellow Cut Activation indicator should
remain illuminated and the Cut activation
tones should continue. Release the Cut
treadle while continuing to press the Coag
treadle and confirm that the yellow Cut
Activation indicator extinguishes, the blue
Coag Activation indicator illuminates and
the activation tone changes from Cut to
Coag. Release the coag treadle and verify
that the display returns to normal. Press the
Coag treadle and verify that the blue Coag
Activation indicator illuminates until the Coag
treadle is released.
15. Connect a hand-controlled accessory to one
of the Monopolar Accessory Receptacles.
Activate the Cut and Coag buttons on the
accessory, one at a time, verifying that each
control causes the correct indicator and tone
to sound. Move the hand-controlled acces-
sory to the other Monopolar Accessory
Receptacle and repeat.
16. Disconnect the single dispersive elec-
trode and confirm that the System 5000™
beeps three times and the Single and Dual
Dispersive Electrode Status / Alarm Indicators
alternately flash red.
2.3.2
Preliminary Performance Testing
After the ESU passes the Preliminary Functional
Tests of Section 2.3.1, preliminary performance
testing may be conducted. Such testing is best
carried out by use of an electrosurgical generator
tester. Use a non-inductive resistor with the same
value as the rated generator output impedance for
the best accuracy of the tester. (See Specifications,
Section 1.2).
If no tester is convenient, the availability of thera-
peutic current may be ascertained subjectively by
attempting to cut and coagulate on surrogate tis-
sue such as a piece of meat or fresh fruit, a wet
bar of soap or a sponge moistened with saline.

Control Panel
All controls, except for the volume controls, are
located on the front control panel. Figure 2.1
illustrates the Universal Symbols control panel.
Your control panel may be in English.
1. DUAL DISPERSIVE ELECTRODE
STATUS / ALARM INDICATOR: Indicates
the status of a dual dispersive electrode when
the dual dispersive electrode is connected
to the ESU. This indicator is made up of a
STATUS INDICATOR and a BARGRAPH,
which indicates the relative quality of the dual
dispersive electrode application.
The STATUS INDICATOR will flash red
prior to connection of any dispersive electrode
or connection of a dual dispersive electrode
that is not applied to the patient. This indi-
cator will flash green after a dual dispersive
electrode is applied to the patient and the
contact quality of the dual dispersive electrode
is at an acceptable level. The status indicator
will illuminate steady green upon first activa-
tion using a hand control or footswitch with
a dual dispersive electrode that is installed and
connected with acceptable contact quality.
Prior to activation, the BARGRAPH will
show a relative measure of the contact qual-
ity between the two elements of the dual
dispersive electrode. Good contact quality is
indicated by illumination of many segments,
while poor contact quality will illuminate
fewer segments. Acceptable contact quality to
enable safe use of the ESU will be indicated
by illumination of one or more segments.
All of the BARGRAPH segments will be
illuminated upon activation with an accept-
ably installed and connected dispersive elec-
trode. Fewer segments of the bar graph will
