List Of Notes
NOTE 4.1
After extended periods of operation, the bottom of the console housing may become warm to the touch.
This is normal. Do not touch the bottom of the console housing while in operation or shortly after operation.
NOTE 4.2
Loose tip/tissue contact upon an initial bone incision can cause a thin tip to resonate not only
longitudinally but also transversely. This can cause a thin tip to break. It is necessary to engage bone
actively and with a minimal tip pressure greater than zero in order to prevent the shattering.
NOTE 4.3
Contact of the ultrasonic tip or the exposed extension with metal, surgical instruments or other objects
during ultrasound use must be avoided. Such contact can damage the ultrasonic components very easily
and may result in compromised performance, including failure. Discard any extensions or tips that show
signs of damages like gouges, nicks or fractures. External aspiration may be used but it is recommended
that a plastic suction tip should be used when in proximity with the probe tip.
NOTE 7.1
Adequate air circulation is needed to cool electronic components inside of the unit. Do not block the
cooling fan at the console rear or the air vents on the console bottom. Do not place the unit on a towel,
foam or other soft surface since the material may block the air vents. Blocking these vents may cause unit to
overheat and malfunction or create a shock hazard. A clear drape can be used to protect the console front
panel but do not cover the pump housing or other console portions.
NOTE 8.1
The handpiece must be placed into the counter wrench. Do not attempt to tighten or loosen handpiece
components by holding the handpiece case or endcap. Always use the T-wrench wrench when tightening
or un-tightening the tip or an extension. Never apply a pipe or strap wrench to the handpiece case. Do not
over-tighten the tip or the extension.
NOTE 8.2
Always tighten or un-tighten the probe cover by hand and without using any wrenches. Do not over-
tighten the probe cover.
NOTE 8.3
Always hold the handpiece at its metallic endcap when tightening or un-tightening the irrigation tubing.
Always tighten or un-tighten the irrigation tubing by hand and without using any wrenches. Do not over-
tighten the tubing connector.
NOTE 9.1
Allow reusable, autoclavable items to gradually return to room temperature after steam sterilization and
prior to usage.
NOTE 9.2
The reuse life given takes into account wear and tear due to cleaning and sterilization only. Damage or
wear caused by actual use in treatments will affect life of components.
