Cynosure TempSure Surgical
Cynosure · Model TempSure Surgical
Precise incisions in very thin, delicate tissues. Faster recovery and decreased post-operative pain Ability to cut and coagulate tissue at the same time.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
No or low RF output / high impedance cut-out
HighSymptoms: No coagulation / cut effect, "high impedance" or "open circuit", output shuts down.
Root cause: Poor electrode contact or a dry field, a damaged handpiece / cable, or a return-electrode (pad) fault.
Temperature-controlled mode fault
HighSymptoms: Tissue-temperature target not reached or held, temperature reads implausibly.
Root cause: Handpiece thermistor / sensor fault, or a temperature-control fault.
Return-electrode / pad-contact alarm
MediumSymptoms: Pad-contact-quality alarm, output inhibited.
Root cause: Poorly applied or dried dispersive pad, or a pad-cable fault.
Footswitch / handpiece-switch fault
MediumSymptoms: Output will not activate from the pedal or the handpiece.
Root cause: Footswitch or handpiece switch / cable fault.
Console / display fault
LowSymptoms: Unresponsive display, will not power on.
Root cause: Power supply or control board.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: No / low RF output or high impedance
- Confirm good electrode-tissue contact and an adequately wetted field.
- Inspect the handpiece and cable for damage; substitute known-good.
- Check the dispersive pad is well applied with full skin contact and a good cable.
- Verify impedance is in the expected range on the display.
- Replace the handpiece or refer the console if output is still absent into a test load.
Symptom: Temperature mode not performing
- Substitute a known-good handpiece.
- Check the thermistor connection at the cable.
- Compare the displayed temperature at rest to room temperature.
- Replace the handpiece if the sensor is damaged.
- Verify the console holds the set temperature into a test load.
