Shaping the FLEX Electrode
• If needed, carefully use your fingers to bend the
shaft of the FLEX electrode to the desired shape.
The electrode can be bent a maximum of 45°
three separate times at the same point.
Shaping the 2.3 mm VAPR Electrode
• If needed, carefully use your fingers to bend
the shaft of the 2.3 mm Electrode to the desired
shape. The Electrode can be bent one time to a
maximum angle of 30° from the plane of the shaft.
Before Surgery
1. Switch on the DePuy Mitek VAPR Generator.
Follow the instructions in the User Manual
so that the Generator displays the symbol
"CONNECT CABLE."
*2. Connect a sterilized Handpiece to the Generator.
Follow the instructions in the User Manual
so that the Generator displays the symbol
"INSERT ELECTRODE."
3. If you have selected a VAPR FLEX Electrode or
a 2.3 mm VAPR Electrode, bend the Electrode
as needed.
*4. Connect a new DePuy Mitek VAPR Electrode
to the Handpiece. Check that the Handpiece
and Electrode are properly aligned before
pushing together and tightening the screw lock
(See Illustration).
*NOTE: These steps do not apply when using
the DePuy Mitek VAPR Electrode with integrated
handpiece. In this case, connect the plug
at the end of the integrated cable directly to
the generator.
5. For safety and convenience, VAPR Electrodes
automatically preset the Generator to default
output settings and restrict output levels to
preserve electrode integrity. If alternate power
levels are desired, adjust the VAPR Generator to
the desired settings using the BLUE and YELLOW
arrows on the front of the VAPR Generator. Use
the lowest power possible to achieve the desired
end effect. The default settings for each Electrode
are as follows:
