Lavage Control
Turn the Lavage Control to select flow rate during system
operation. Flow rate is based on a scale from 1 to 6. Turn
clockwise toward 6 to increase flow at insert tip. Turn
counter-clockwise toward 1 to decrease flow. The flow rate
through the handpiece also determines the temperature of
the lavage. Lower flow rates produce warmer lavage. Higher
water 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.
