Note: If you experience difficulty puncturing a cartridge it may be due to
variations in the rubber diaphragm material. Try these four solutions to
correct the situation:
Place the cartridge into the holder; gently rotate the cartridge stopper
360 degrees against the spike two or three times. Then press firmly
into the holder, puncturing the cartridge. A slight twisting motion as
you press may also help puncture the cartridge.
Place cartridge into cartridge holder. Place cartridge against a firm
surface or counter top and press quickly and firmly down.
Swab rubber diaphragm with alcohol which acts as a lubricant.
Place the cartridge into the holder. Press firmly against spike,
stretching the rubber diaphragm for 5-6 seconds. Release and
immediately re-push rapidly and firmly against the spike.
One Handed Needle Recapping Technique
1. After the needle is attached to the handpiece, place the needle cap into wand
holder on either side of the STA unit.
2. Hold needle cap firmly with one hand, remove the needle from the cap
with the other hand by pulling straight out from the cap. Do not twist. (Cap
remains in receptacle on the side of the unit).
3. Between injections, lightly set the needle back into the cap. Do not press
into the cap. This is a temporary holding dock for the needle.
4. When ready to use the handpiece and needle, simply remove the
handpiece and needle from the cap. Return the needle to the cap when
not in use.
5. When the procedure is completed, firmly press the needle into the cap on
the side of STA unit, locking the cap back on the needle. When locked in
place and keeping your hands behind needle point, remove the cap with
the attached needle from the unit and discard in an approved manner.
Note: Recap needle when medically necessary or when no other alternative
exists.
