Lap Mode, Prime, Test, and Status Buttons
To activate Lap Mode, Prime, or Status, press the button once; to deactivate the
function, press the button again. To activate Test, press the button once; it
automatically deactivates when the test is complete.
Lap Mode: Selects the Laparoscopic mode of operation—the system provides no
suction to the handpiece until you activate the Vibration pedal.
When you activate the Lap Mode, the system turns on the Lap On indicator light.
Prime: Automatically increases irrigation rate to 25 to 30 cc/min to pump
irrigation fluid to the tip. A timer turns Prime off after approximately one minute.
Test: Verifies the handpiece is working properly by automatically increasing tip
amplitude to 100%, then decreasing it to 0%—all within 4 seconds.
Status: Toggles the status between Standby and Run.
Displays
Green light emitting diodes (LEDs) show user adjusted setpoints for Aspiration,
Irrigation, and Amplitude:
• Not Activated: One LED illuminates to show the setpoint value
• Activated: All LEDs up to and including the setpoint value light up.
For TissueSelect, “Std” (standard) is the first setpoint value; “++++” is the highest
setpoint value.
