SUCTION ON & STANDBY
Once the mode is selected on the touch screen interface (See Figure 1), the mode you have
selected will appear on the left side of the touch screen. You can activate or deactivate the flow
of suction by pressing the button that appears like a fan blade on the unit’s touch screen. The fan
image will begin to rotate to indicate that the unit’s motor is running and the flow of suction has
begun. See Figure 3.

SUCTION CONTROL
The amount of suction may be adjusted by pressing the suction control buttons located to the
right of the fan image. Each time the suction control up or down button is depressed, the motor
speed is increased or decreased by 10%. The suction speed will not loop. The suction control
should be set at the lowest practical setting to completely remove the surgical smoke from the
operative site. See Figure 4.
