TROUBLESHOOTINGGUIDE S I N G L E - U S E B I P O L A R G E N E R AT O R E R R O R & F A U LT S Y M B O L S Most technical problems are indicated by either an ERROR or a FAULT symbol that appears in the Generator display window. IN T E G R AT E D H A N D PI EC E An ERROR symbol indicates an accessory malfunction or a Generator component TIP: failure that requires servicing of the equipment. These symbols include a code number to be used by DePuy Mitek technical service to diagnose why the system failed. • Solid one-piece active tip design • An ERROR symbol is displayed as two alternating messages: • Proprietary active/return distance ratio • Large uninhibited suction hole • Atraumatic liquid crystal polymer cowling provides insulation – ERROR XXX REF YYY – INTERNAL FAILURE WARNING: An error symbol indicates an equipment malfunction, which may be hazardous. Disconnect all accessories and switch the Generator off. Switch the Generator back on and if the self-test is completed satisfactorily as evidenced by the “CONNECT CABLE” symbol in the display, the failure occurred in the accessories, which should be discarded and replaced. If the self-test fails, then all functions will be inhibited and no attempt should be made to use the Generator. Contact DePuy Mitek customer service for assistance. A FAULT symbol indicates a transient non-hazardous event and can be corrected by resetting the system. • A FAULT symbol is displayed as two alternating messages: – FAULT XXX REF YYY – TEXTUAL MESSAGE - where TEXTUAL MESSAGE relates to the type of fault NOTE: Remember to take note of the fault code for reporting to customer service before completing the reset. CLEANING NOTE: See User Manual for Generator and Footswitch cleaning instructions. All VAPR Electrodes are single-use only.
