Main Functions
Amplitude
The ultrasonic tip engages the target area in linear strokes at a rate of approximately 22,500 cycles per second. During each
cycle the tip elongates from resting to maximum position, contracts back over resting and to minimum position and elon-
gates back to its resting point. The peak-to-peak amplitude or stroke distance can be adjusted by changing the Amplitude
from setting 1-10. This is the main parameter to control the rate of tissue removal. A high amplitude setting results in more
aggressive tissue removal, a low setting in less aggressive tissue removal. Amplitude and thus removal rate may alter with size
and geometry of the ultrasonic tip.
Pulse
The ultrasonic energy output over time can be reduced by using the pulse mode, in which a resting period is inserted within
the duty cycle. This results in an active period, followed by a resting period during each duty cycle. The total period is a ¼
second (250ms). The pulse can be set between 50% and 100%.
Pulse Setting 100% [Continuous]
The default setting is 100% or continuous, which refers to 100% energy output or zero resting period. This is the recommend-
ed setting.
