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.
360° Rotating Handpiece Nose
To rotate the insert, place fingers on the nose of the
handpiece and rotate to desired position. Handpiece
maneuverability allows adjustable hand positioning, free
flowing movement and access within the anterior and
posterior of the oral cavity.
