VACUUM OPERATION
Vacuum Mode
The Intelect® Neo Vacuum allows for continuous and
pulsed modes of operation, as shown on the Treatment
Review Screen. In continuous mode, the vacuum unit
maintains the desired vacuum pressure. In the pulsed
mode, the vacuum unit will maintain the low pressure for
the desired set time, then ramp up the pressure to the
desired high vacuum pressure and maintain it. The cycle
begins again and repeats according to time of treatment.
