Table 10.3 Troubleshooting – Insufficient Irrigation
WARNING 3.1
Tip and irrigant temperatures may exceed the tissue necrosis point if insufficient irrigation flow rates are
used. For hard tissue removal, set the irrigation flowrate to a setting no less than the comparable vibration
setting. For example, if the vibration setting is 7, a minimum flow setting of 70% should be used.
WARNING 7.1 Improper connection of the handpiece cable may present a shock hazard. Confirm that handpiece
connector is dry prior to plugging it in.
WARNING 7.2 Do not operate pump with pump cover in raised position. Rollers might pinch loose clothing or fingers.
Personal injuries may result. Cooling of the ultrasonic tip and irrigation at the treatment site will be inhibited.
For all other malfunctions please contact Misonix or a Misonix authorized representative for service.
