Footswitch and Aspiration Modes
• Irrigation: scale ranges from 2 to 20 mL/min in selectable increments
of 1 mL/min; default value is 3 mL/min.
When using the CUSA
®
Clarity ShearTip
™
for brous tissue resection,
Integra recommends using a minimum irrigation setting of 7mL/min.
The irrigation setting should be adjusted based on the requirements
of the specic procedure.
Ultrasonics Active Indicators
When ultrasonics is active:
• The border around the Amplitude Control Scale is highlighted in
yellow, and:
• A yellow Amplitude Indicator bar rises to the left of the Amplitude
Control Scale, which represents the actual amplitude of the tip.
• When Tissue Select is 0-Off, 1-Low, or 2-Medium, this yellow bar will
be the same height as the Amplitude Control Scale adjustment arrow.
• When Tissue Select is 3-High, or 4-Maximum, this yellow bar will be
slightly lower than the Amplitude Control Scale adjustment arrow,
because these settings also reduce amplitude.
Footswitch and Aspiration Modes
Footswitch Mode
The Footswitch Mode ➀ controls the level of power to the handpiece
from pressure applied to the footswitch.
The footswitch mode values are:
• Standard (default): The handpiece operates at the amplitude level set
on the touch screen, regardless of the pressure you place on the
amplitude pedal.
NOTE: The default setting changes to the last setting after initial use
• Proportional: The handpiece operates according to how much
pressure you place on the amplitude pedal, that is, the more you press
the pedal, the higher the resulting amplitude up to the level set on the
touch screen.
