Operation

4.1

Function

The ultrasonic unit of the SonicWeld Rx
vibrations (ultrasound). When using a standard sonotrode, the ultrasonic energy heats up the
resorbable material at the interfaces between the bone and the SonicPins, thus causing the
SonicPins to glide into the predrilled hole. When using a smoothing sonotrode, the ultrasonic
energy heats up the Resorb x
allowing to smooth them out.
4.2

Safety Functions

Energy transmission is possible only if the resonance frequency of the sonotrode (11,
front fold-out page) is not altered by excessive mechanical load (e.g. when applying too much
pressure to the SonicPin with the handpiece). In such case of overload, the system is switched
off automatically.
Built-in mains fuses protect the unit from overload.
The device automatically performs a self-test during start-up, see section 4.3.5 "Automatic
Functional Test", page 54.
During the self-test, the system checks that:
all components required are connected
•
the handpiece functions properly
•
• the basic insulation is intact
the internal operating software has been loaded correctly
•
the mains fuses are intact
•
WARNING
Life hazard for the patient due to improper power connection!
The device must not be combined with other devices.
•
The device must not be connected to a mains that powers life-supporting systems.
