Training Mode
The STA System comes with a unique training mode that provides additional
voice prompts not found in the standard mode. It is enabled by pressing and
holding the “HOLD TO TRAIN” button for 4 seconds. It is highly recommended
that the Training Mode be used while the practitioner becomes familiar with the
STA system.
1. Depress the Hold to Train button for 4 seconds and the device replies with
“TRAINING MODE ON”. The button may also be held while powering up the
STA unit.
2. Load the anesthetic cartridge into the cartridge holder and attach the holder to
STA unit. The STA unit automatically purges the handpiece and replies with
“READY”.
3. Press STA button and the STA unit replies with “STA MODE”.
4. Depress the foot control, the STA unit replies “SENSING”. An audible tone
indicates the device is expressing the anesthetic. After 3 beeps a voice will
say “CRUISE”. This opens a 5 second window during which you can activate
the cruise control. Immediately remove foot from foot control. Cruise control is
engaged and a voice will say “SET”.
5. As pressure builds, the indicator lights change from red to yellow to green, the
device also says “ASCENDING” and uses a unique 3-note tone.
6. The correct injection pressure is indicated when the device repeats ”PDL” and
provides the PDL slow tone.
The Training Mode is useful for all injections as the STA System is equipped with
an audible voice that will explain the various audible indicators. This will assist
the user in quickly learning the proper operation of the STA System. The
Training Mode may be deactivated at any time at the user’s discretion.
