Testing the Handpiece
Once you have completed system setup, test the
handpiece to ensure that you have assembled
the tip correctly. Refer to the CUSA Excel System
User's Guide for instructions on how to test the
handpiece.
Priming the System
Prime the irrigation system as described in the
CUSA Excel System User's Guide. Repeat Prime
until you see irrigation fluid at the handpiece tip.
Disassembly
Use this procedure only if you are disassembling
the handpiece as part of changing tips on the
sterile field. If you are disassembling the handpiece
at the end of the surgical procedure, refer the
CUSA Excel System User's Guide.

2. Remove the o-rings.
3. Locate the sterile torque base in which the
handpiece support color matches the color
on the handpiece connector (23 kHz — green;
36 kHz — blue). Put the handpiece in the
torque base so that the metal connecting body
fits snugly in the metal slot at the end of the
support.
4. Hold the handpiece securely in place in the
torque base.
Notice
To avoid product damage, NEVER hold the
handpiece in your hand while using the torque
wrench to tighten or loosen the tip.
5. Match the colored ring of the sterile torque
wrench with the handpiece connector color or
handpiece support color on the torque base.
Slide the color coded side of the wrench over
the tip until the hex in the wrench engages the
hex of the tip.
