WARNING:
Do not use in the presence of flammable anaesthetics, disinfectants, aerosol sprays, or in an
oxygen rich atmosphere.
WARNING:
The use of high infusion pressure may cause damage to the eye. It is the user’s responsibility
to ensure use of appropriate infusion pressure during the surgery.
Note:
Ensure tube set connection is secure when connecting to the handpiece and system.
4.1.
Advanced Vacuum System Fluidics
WARNING:
For optimum aspiration and reflux performance, the patient’s eye level must be at the same
level as (no more than 7 cm [3 in.] from) the Stellaris® PC Vision Enhancement System
aspiration port. Failure to follow this procedure may result in serious and permanent patient
injury.
The advanced vacuum fluidics creates aspiration using a venturi system driven by compressed air, which is
connected to the machine by an air hose.
With your
Stellaris® PC
Vision Enhancement System , the irrigation line from an inverted bottle of balanced
salt solution (BSS) is integrated into the tubing manifold at the top part of the vacuum cassette. The delivery
pressure of the BSS is adjusted by varying the height of the bottle in relation to the patient’s eye, or by air
pressure injected into the bottle when Pressurized Infusion or AFI is used. On/off control of irrigation is
accomplished through the touch screen interface or by the Footpedal (for Anterior modes or Posterior modes
with infusion type Auto On/ ON).
As the cassette fills up, the system gives a
Cassette Nearing Full
warning. When the fluid level reaches the
maximum capacity, the system gives a
Cassette Full
warning. After this second warning, the aspiration function
will be disabled. You must replace the fluidics cassette with one that is either empty or nearly empty and
reprime before aspiration will be re-enabled. In Posterior/Combined domains, surgery can be resumed without
re-priming if the cassette is ejected from the surgical screen.
