After the system is set up and powered on it provides power to the
handpiece used during ultrasonic surgery and to the footswitch. The
footswitch contains two pedals that allow the user to control the
ultrasonic power and fast flush of irrigation fluid. The user can control
amplitude, irrigation and aspiration levels during surgery using the
scales and buttons on the touchscreen display. For more detailed
information about the touchscreen display, see "Touchscreen Display
and Functions" on page 4-1.
The CUSA Clarity handpiece is a hand-held surgical device. It houses a
transducer that vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency, transferring the
vibrations to a hollow titanium tip.
When applied to patient tissue, the vibrating tip provides the desired
surgical effect – the fragmentation and removal of specific tissue.
The handpiece connects to the console by a handpiece cable and by the
CUSA Quick Connect Cartridge and Tubing Set. The disposable CUSA
Quick Connect Cartridge and Tubing Set consists of a tube for sterile
irrigation fluid, which the console pumps to the handpiece, and a tube for
aspiration as well as a cartridge that aligns the tubes with the console.
Clips on the aspiration tubing fasten the tubing to the handpiece cable.

Handpiece Functions

Together, a handpiece and CUSA Clarity console form an ultrasonic
surgical aspirator system. This system has three functions:
• Fragmentation
• Irrigation
• Aspiration (Suction)
All three functions can occur at the same time.
