Suction Pinch Valve
To avoid injury to surgical personnel, keep fingers away from the suction pinch
valve.
When closed, the valve pinches off suction flow to the handpiece:
* When priming the irrigation system
* When pressing the Fast Flush pedal
+ In Run Status, when you release the Vibration pedal. In this case, the
pinch valve closes for about one second, then re-opens.
* In Lap Mode, when you release the Vibration pedal. This suction
stoppage prevents depletion of the pneumoperitoneum.
The suction pinch valve default position (system off) is closed. If the
System has been running, when you tum the Power Switch off, the suction
pinch valve remains open until the drain cycle has finished, then closes. A
button on the front of the suction pinch valve allows you to open the valve
manually.
System Power Switch
Turning this switch on ( | ) activates all system components and begins
filling the handpiece with cooling water. Turning this switch off ( © )
activates the cooling water drain cycle. When the system has drained
water from the cooling water system (about one minute), it automatically
deactivates all system components.
Irrigation Pump Head
A latch rotates from right to left to open the pump head, and from left to
right to close. When open, it allows you to place irrigation tubing into the
peristaltic pump. Closed, the pump head holds irrigation tubing against
the peristaltic pump.
