initiate a treatment cycle. The counter on the “Touchup Treatment” Screen (as shown in Figure

OPERATION – PROCEDURE TROUBLESHOOTING
Some common problems that you might encounter are listed below, along with an explanation
and possible solution. Please also refer to the Troubleshooting Guide in Section 12.
Treatment Cycle Won’t Start
Three seconds prior to microwave energy delivery, the System performs a self-check. The test
verifies that the patient’s skin is in contact with the miraDry Handpiece cooling plate, and a
good vacuum seal has been achieved. If one or both of these conditions is not met, the System
will not deliver microwave energy. The outline around the Handpiece on the “Treatment” Screen
will turn to orange when this happens. Adjusting the angle of the Handpiece on the patient’s
skin will usually resolve this issue.
Loss of bioTip Suction
If there is a loss of suction during the treatment cycle the audio tone will change and the
progress bar at the bottom of the “Treatment” Screen will also turn yellow. The outline around
the Handpiece on the “Treatment” Screen will also turn to yellow when this happens as shown
in Figure 31. Adjusting the position of the Handpiece, or applying additional force to achieve a
complete vacuum seal around the entire perimeter of the flexible skirt of the miraDry bioTip, will
usually resolve the issue.
