Product analysis #(b)(4) complaint not confirmed lhr/dhr review: no associated manufacturing or servicing issues. Evaluation process: unit received in standard shipping container. Unit received in fair condition with minor surface imperfections. Power cord and user manual were received with unit. No handpieces were received. Internal visual inspection found nothing moving or broken in unit. Unit delivered rf energy correctly into fixed resistors. Root cause: the reported condition could not be replicated by the service department. Cut energy was keyed successfully by both handpiece switch and foot pedal: as was coag energy. Note that, when keying energy on the pulsar, the half of the screen for the activated power mode (either cut or coag) takes on a slightly dark hue while the other half of the screen takes on a much lighter hue (the intent was to make the unused mode appear to? Grey out? ). This has led to confusion in the past because users have thought that, due to the more significant color change, the opposite power mode was being keyed.
