Understanding the Control Panel
4-4 CUSA Excel Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator System User’s Guide
The system turns the Wait Light on and the alert off and resumes draining
the cooling water. When the system completes draining the cooling water,
the entire control panel turns off (goes blank). Then you can disconnect
the handpiece.
The system will not go to any other task until you clear a handpiece or
footswitch alert. If you connect the handpiece and footswitch, and if the
corresponding alert remains on, call Integra for assistance.
Wait/Cooling Water
When the system detects that the handpiece and footswitch are connected,
it automatically begins to circulate cooling water through the handpiece.
This takes about one minute to complete. While the system is performing
this task, the amber Wait indicator flashes and the amber Cooling Water
indicator (upper right on the control panel) illuminates.
While the Wait and Cooling Water indicators remain lit, you cannot use
other control panel features. When the system turns off the Wait and
Cooling Water indicators, it turns on the suction pump, the Test button
LED, and the Prime button LED.
Cooling Water Alert
If the system detects a cooling water problem, it illuminates the red
Cooling Water Alert (left side of the control panel). Several conditions
may cause this alert:
• No water in the cooling water reservoir
• Disconnected cooling water reservoir
• Damaged, misaligned, or missing o-rings in the handpiece connector
• A pinched or kinked handpiece cable
• An air leak in the cooling water system.
To correct these conditions,
• Add water.
•Connect the reservoir.
• Remove the pinch or kink.
• For an air leak or an o-ring problem, connect a new handpiece.
While the red Cooling Water Alert remains lit, you cannot use other
control panel features or the footswitch.
