7) The set values of flow and vacuum level can be adjusted by means of the <UP>
and <DOWN> arrow keys next to the corresponding windows; for both sizes it is
possible to have the set control panel mode (PANEL) or the linear surgical
control mode (LINEAR). In the latter case, the delivered power is linearly
controlled by footswitch depression from 5% to preset limit. To switch from
LINEAR SURGEON mode to FIXED PANEL or vice-versa, use FLOW CONTROL, <D>
key.
8) To activate IRRIGATION press the footswitch beyond its rest position.
IRRIGATION can also be activated by “CONTINUOUS IRRIGATION” button, <IRR>
key.
9) Depress footswitch beyond mechanical detent n. 1 to activate IRRIGATION and
ASPIRATION at the VACUUM and FLOW preset limit (if in PANEL mode). If in
LINEAR mode, the footswitch will linearly control FLOW and VACUUM level. In
this case pressing the footswitch from stop 1 to the end position causes the
level of the FLOW to vary linearly from 2 cc/min and the level of the VACUUM
to vary linearly from 5 mmHg to their maximum set levels.
The vacuum level is automatically reduced to zero and a simultaneous VENTING
occurs whenever the footswitch is released.
AUDIBLE ALARM
An audible sound of varying frequency indicates vacuum level reached into the
collection tank (lower frequency with low vacuum level and higher frequency with
high vacuum level).
CAUTION
Aspiration should always be tested in a beaker of sterile solution.
