Adjusting Setpoint Values
To adjust setpoint values to desired settings, press the up/down buttons
at the bottom of the display for the value you want to adjust. LEDs
illuminate to show the setpoint value you select. You can adjust setpoint
values in any of the following situations:
•In Standby status
•In Run status
• When the surgeon presses the Vibration footswitch pedal.
Aspiration
The aspiration display includes 10 settings ranging from 10 to 100% of
available suction (up to 660 mm [26 inches] mercury at sea level). The
default setting is 100%. Green up/down arrows mark the aspiration
adjustment buttons.
Irrigation
The irrigation display includes 10 settings. The irrigation rate ranges from
1 cc/min to 10 cc/min. The default setting is 3 cc/min. Blue up/down
arrows mark the irrigation adjustment buttons.
Pressing the Fast Flush pedal (left) on the footswitch increases the
irrigation rate to 25 to 30 cc/min as long as the pedal remains pressed. It
also stops suction as long as the pedal remains pressed.
Amplitude
The amplitude display includes 10 settings, from 10 to 100% of the total
amplitude (distance traveled by the tip as it vibrates) available for the
handpiece. The default setting is 10%. Most surgical procedures require a
higher setting. Orange up/down arrows mark the amplitude adjustment
buttons.
The LEDs in the amplitude display show real-time feedback from the
system. The number of LEDs lit shows the tip performance at any given
time.
TISSUE Select™
This display includes 5 settings, ranging from Std to ++++. These settings
indicate the tissue selectivity at the handpiece tip. The highest setting
(greatest number of + signs) makes the tip most tissue selective. (For more
information on the TISSUE Select feature and its settings, refer to Using
TISSUE Select later in this section.) The default value is Std (Standard).
Yellow up/down arrows mark the TISSUE Select adjustment buttons.
