RPW 2 USER MANUAL
OPERATION
The handpiece is operated via the display on the Intelect
®
RPW 2. The settings can either be made manually on the display or
preprogrammed settings can be applied.
START-UP
• Connect the V-ACTOR HF
®
handpiece to the Intelect RPW 2.
• Set the pulse energy in V-ACTOR HF operating mode to an initial value of 2 bar.
• Activate the trigger button.
Note: The trigger button functions as an on/off switch when it is pressed briefly. Pressing it for longer causes it to function as a tip switch, i.e. the
pulses will continue until the button is released.
FUNCTIONAL CHECKS
Perform the following functional checks after the device has been installed:
• Set the energy level in V-ACTOR HF mode to 2.4 bar.
• Reset the actual number of pulses on the display of the control panel.
• Release pulses with a pulse frequency of 30 Hz.
• Check that the triggered pulses are correctly counted on the treatment pulse counter of the control device.
STANDARD SETTINGS
• Before each treatment, make sure that the pulse counter is set to zero.
• Start the V-ACTOR HF treatment at an energy level of 2 bar and a frequency of 20 Hz.
• There is a relationship between pressure and frequency; when one increases the other decreases. The V-Actor HF can not be
used at full frequency and full pressure at the same time. Please find the chart showing the relationship between pressure and
frequency on page 70.
