OPERATION
Set Up
Connect foot control hose to front outlet on drive unit. Hand-tighten snugly.
Position drive unit on a flat, level surface within 3’ of patient. (The STA Wand™
hand-piece micro tubing is 5’ long from the drive unit to the handpiece.)
Plug the drive unit electrical cord into the back of the unit and then to a power
outlet. Place the STA System and power cord in an accessible location such that
in case of emergency, the unit may be powered down or unplugged quickly.
Note: Do not place STA™ unit within 12 inches of other electrical devices such
as electro-surgery units as they may cause interference.
Warning: There may be possible safety hazards associated with the
external radiofrequency interference (RFI) or electromagnetic radiation
which may affect the safe operation of this device and therefore should be
avoided.
Power ‘On/Off’
Press power switch on the back of the drive unit to turn system power ‘On’ and
‘Off’. Plunger will automatically retract to ‘down’ position when unit is turned ‘On’.
When first turned on the STA is set to the default modes.

hand-piece and the SafetyWand™ handpiece with safety engineered sharps
protection to aid in the prevention of needlesticks. Specific instructions for each
