Caution
During the implantation procedure, the previously-extracted
grafts are sucked into the implanter head, to be inserted in the
recipient site.
During this stage, it is important to have the implanter head's
piston tip at the correct position, i.e. aligned with the implanter
head's suction port, as shown in
5-11. At this position,
the graft can be sucked up and then pushed towards the recipient
site.
•
If the piston tip is shifted outwards, there will not be enough
vacuum to suck the graft into the handpiece.
•
If piston tip is shifted inwards, the graft may be sucked too
strongly, causing it to overshoot towards the waste jar.
To calibrate the implanter head:
1.
From the Treatment screen, toggle the
Extract/Implant
Selector
to
Implant
(to display the Recipient Site Treatment
screen) and press the
Start
button, as described in
section
on page
2.
Unscrew the adjusting screw by 3-4 full turns (from the Zero
position).
3.
Press the blue pedal of the footswitch that operates the
implantation handpiece to pull the piston to the back position.
4.
Disconnect the distal end of the implantation tube from the
suction port of the implanter head.
5.
Hold the handpiece against light to see through the semi-
transparent implanter head.
