Adjusting the Aspiration Level
Use the
aspiration
scale (green) to specify the
aspiration rate of the total available suction of the
source of vacuum employed. The aspiration rate
ranges from 15% to 100%. The default setting for
aspiration is 100%. The accuracy of the
aspiration rate is +/-50 mm Hg of available
aspiration. To adjust the rate by 5% increments,
press the arrows to the right of the scale. To
adjust the rate by 10% increments, press the
segment bars on the scale. Note that typical
aspiration rates are between 30% and 100%.
Verifying General Ultrasonic Information
Use the
information
panel to determine the
general status of the current operating modes and
equipment selection. This panel provides the
following information:
Warning
The minimum aspiration level setting is 15%. This
ensures proper handpiece cooling and
performance. Insufficient aspiration can cause
premature handpiece or tip failures and may
induce heat exchange with the patient or user, and
cause tissue burns.

minutes.
Displays the current vacuum level from
the aspiration source. This level is
measured in mm hg units.
