An incision that is interrupted during laser delivery for any other reason (e.g., due to loss of
Bluetooth connection between the Mobile Patient Bed and the
CATALYS®
System or loss of
vacuum) cannot be reinitiated.
NOTE
The
CATALYS®
System provides a means of vacuum loss detection during laser treatment. The
system continuously monitors changes in force and vacuum levels over the course of a treatment
procedure, as well as fluid loss via the video image. Once vacuum loss is detected, the treatment
is interrupted and the following error message displays on the screen:
Figure 4.44 Loss of Vacuum Error Message
A capsulotomy treatment that is interrupted during laser delivery for any reason cannot be
reinitiated.
WARNING
If a laser capsulotomy is interrupted, the system will not allow you to reinitiate the capsulotomy,
as precise co‐registration with the initial capsulotomy cannot be assured. Instead, use standard
continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis (CCC) surgical technique to complete the treatment.
If at any point during laser delivery the patient becomes undocked (e.g., due to vacuum loss), the
treatment will be interrupted and cannot be continued. Do not resume treatment afterwards.
Revert to traditional cataract surgery.
If the treatment is interrupted by a “Critical Error”, the system will automatically disable itself.
Do not resume treatment afterwards. Revert to traditional cataract surgery.
