Amplitude Troubleshooting; Aspiration Troubleshooting - Integra CUSA Clarity System Service And Maintenance Manual

8.6 Amplitude Troubleshooting

Condition
Amplitude Indicator bar not equal to
selected amplitude, or pulsing erratically
Ineffective fragmentation (due to
frequency drift – temperature dependence
Low or no aspiration
NOTE
To avoid tip blockage during surgery, flush the saline solution in between uses. This removes debris before it can dry and block the tip while it is not in
use.
WARNING
To avoid injury or damage to equipment, place system in standby mode prior to changing tip or clearing a clog.

Difficulty with removing cartridge
CUSA® Clarity System Service and Maintenance Manual
Recommendation
• On Tissue Select 3-High, or 4-Maximum, Amplitude Indicator is always lower than selected amplitude
• During aggressive tissue fragmentation, small amplitude drops may briefly occur
• If Amplitude Indicator is persistently low or erratic, stop vibration – allow handpiece to cool
• Return to Setup Screen and repeat handpiece test
1. Go into standby mode
2. Run handpiece test to update the frequency optimization
1. Check aspiration at the end of the tip to make sure the aspiration is being delivered to the distal end
of the tip
2. Check tubing and connections for leaks
3. Verify connections to canister
4. Utilize the stylet to clear the clog
