4.6.2 Start-up
• Check that there are no bubbles in the handpiece.
If bubbles are visible under the coupling diaphragm, proceed as follows:
Position the handpiece in the handpiece holder. This ensures that air bubbles will
always be sucked out of the handpiece.
• Leave the handpiece in this position for approx. 3 minutes until the suction
procedure has nished.
• To work in F-SW mode, set the shock energy to an initial value of 0.1 mJ/mm
2
.
The maximum energy level corresponds to an energy ux density of 0.55 mJ/mm
2
.
• Optional: To work in C-ACTOR II mode, set the pulse energy to an initial value
of 0.03 mJ/mm
2
.
The maximum energy level corresponds to an energy ux density of 1.24 mJ/mm
2
.
NOTE
The highest permitted frequency is always set when an energy level is selected
(see table 4-10 and table 4-11). This frequency can be reduced manually.
• Activate the trigger button.
The trigger button functions as an on/off switch when it is pressed briey (< 1.5 s).
Pressing it for longer (> 1.5 s) causes it to function as a tip switch, i.e. the shocks will
continue until the button is released.
4.6.3 Functional checks
Perform the following functional checks after the system has been installed:
• Check the control unit and handpieces for damage.
• Start up the DUOLITH
®
SD1 (see Chapter 4.6.2 start-up).
• Set the energy level in F-SW mode to 0.2 mJ/mm
2
.
• Optional: Set the energy level in C-ACTOR II mode to 0.69 mJ/mm
2
.
• Reset the actual number of shocks on the parameter display of the control panel
with the Reset button
.
• Release shocks with a shock frequency of 4 Hz.
• Check that the triggered shocks are correctly counted on the treatment shock
counter.
NOTE
If necessary, the functional capability of the F-SW handpiece can be checked with
the aid of special pressure sensors (see
Chapter 7.1 aCCessOries).
