Adjusting the Ultrasonic Control Scales
Use the power , irrigation , and aspiration scales to control the major
ultrasonic settings during a case.
Adjusting the Power Level
Use the power scale (orange) to specify the ultrasonic power output (tip
amplitude). The power settings range between 10% and 100%. The default
power setting is 10%.
Note that raising the power setting will increase
the vibration of the handpiece tip and thus
increase tissue fragmentation rate. To adjust the
power by 5% increments, use the arrows to the
right of the scale. To adjust the power by 10%
increments, press the segment bars on the scale.
Notice
The level of ultrasonic power displayed on the scale
will only be directed to the handpiece tip when the
power Footswitch pedal is pressed fully. Pressing
this Footswitch pedal partially will give an actual
power output below the setting displayed with the
exact value depending on the pedal position.
