4. Caution should be used when overriding the default
power settings. Use the lowest power setting and
the minimum tissue contact time necessary to
achieve the appropriate surgical effect. If power
settings have been overridden to non-default
values, the adjusted values will be retained when
unplugging and replugging the same electrode,
when connecting a new electrode of the same type,
or when connecting a different electrode model
with the same default values. If the generator is
switched off and then on, a newly attached
electrode will always revert to its default values.
Always confirm proper, desired power settings
before proceeding with surgery.
5. The generator display can be set up to display
output power in Watts (ADVANCED mode) or in
relative numbers (BASIC mode). The equivalent
values for ADVANCED and BASIC mode vary by
electrode type.

NOTE: In ADVANCED mode, output power can be
adjusted in finer increments than in BASIC mode.
NOTE
When an instrument is attached, switching between
ADVANCED and BASIC User Mode after adjusting
the power output settings will reset the power
output values to the default settings for the specific
electrode type. The Mode button must be pressed
to confirm use.
6. Attach the tubing connector to a suction source.
Ensure that suction is off by closing the clamp on
the electrode's tubing.
DURING SURGERY
1. Close suction outflow of the electrode prior to
insertion of the electrode.
2. Insert the electrode into a fluid-filled joint space
through a prepared entry point. Ensure that the
electrode is surrounded by conductive irrigant
solution when in use.
3. Adjust the flow rate, by opening suction outflow, to
optimize the fluid removal rate and bubble
extraction.
IF USING ELECTRODE with HAND CONTROLS
4. To activate the ABLATE mode using the hand
controls on the electrode handle (ensure suction is
turned on), press and hold the YELLOW button.
The ABLATE power setting on the generator will
flash and a tone will be heard. Always keep the
electrode in motion and in contact with tissue.
Refer to the VAPR VUE User Manual on how to
activate using the footswitch (wired or wireless).
5. The ABLATE power setting may be changed by
holding down the BLACK MODE button on the
electrode handle. The ABLATE power setting may
then be increased by pressing the YELLOW button
on the electrode handle. The ABLATE power
