User Troubleshooting
Recommended Action
1. Verify that the manifold suction tube
connects properly to the nosecone by
disconnecting, then reconnecting, the
tubing and its clip.
2. Use the tip cleaner to dislodge the
blockage in the tip. Continue to push
the tip cleaner into the tip until the
cleaner becomes visible in the tubing.
3. When you have cleared the blockage,
verify again that the manifold suction
tube connects properly to the
nosecone.
4. If the tip remains blocked, disconnect
the manifold suction tube connector
from the nosecone. Use the tip cleaner
to dislodge blockage from the tubing,
then reconnect the tubing to the
nosecone.
5. Immerse the handpiece tip in sterile
irrigation fluid briefly. This may clear
the suction tubing.
Testing before sterilization:
1. Use the tip torquing base and wrench
to replace the tip.
2. Test the tip.
3. Sterilize the handpiece.
Testing after sterilization when tip
assembled in a nonsterile area:
1. Remove the handpiece from the
sterile field.
2. Use the tip torquing base and wrench
to replace the tip.
3. Test the tip.
4. Sterilize the handpiece.
Testing after sterile tip assembled to
handpiece on the sterile field:
1. Use the sterilizable torque base and a
disposable sterile wrench to replace
the tip. (Refer to the Supplement,
Assembling or Changing Tips on the
Sterile Field, in the CUSA EXcel
Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator
System User's Guide.)
2. Test the tip.
