When the Surgeon Is Ready
1. Make sure the I.V. administration set roller clamp is open.
2. Prime the irrigation system:
a. Press the Prime button (blue box on a black button at the top of the
Irrigation display column on the control panel).
The CUSA EXcel system automatically primes the irrigation
system. LEDs move from 0 to 10 cc on the irrigation display
column. This will take about 1 minute.
b. Make sure irrigation fluid drips from the tip.
If it doesn’t, verify that all connections are tight, then press the
Prime button again
To stop priming before it completes its cycle, press the Prime
button again.
When it has primed the irrigation, the CUSA EXcel system automatically
goes to the Standby mode, turning on the amber Standby light and
showing the default settings for aspiration, irrigation, amplitude, and
TISSUE Select.
Aspiration 100%
Irrigation 3 cc/min
Amplitude 10%
TISSUE Select Std
For more information on these settings, refer to Section 4, Using
CUSA EXcel Console Controls, in this guide.
3. Adjust the Amplitude, Irrigation, Aspiration, and TISSUE Select
settings to the surgeon’s requirements.
4. Press the Status button (green box on a black button at the upper right
of the control panel) to put the system into the Run mode (green light).
The CUSA EXcel system is now ready. Vibration will activate when the
surgeon presses the Vibration pedal on the footswitch.
5. Put the footswitch where it is easily accessible to the surgeon.
