Lavage Control
Turn the Lavage Control to select flow rate during
system operation. Clockwise increases flow at insert tip,
counterclockwise decreases flow. The flow rate through the
handpiece also determines the temperature of the lavage.
Lower flow rates produce warmer lavage. Higher flow rates
produce cooler lavage.
If the handpiece becomes warm, increase the flow rate.
With experience, the Dental Healthcare Professional will be
able to determine the best flow rate setting for optimum
operating efficiency and patient comfort.
Swivel Feature
Reduces cable drag as handpiece rotates during procedures.
