For all infusion control modes; Infusion, once started, cannot be turned off using either the GUI or the foot
control switch while the foot control pedal is in region 1 or beyond.
Note: In all circumstances, the stopcock and tubing clamp may be used to stop infusion.
Note: The system will prime the left aspiration line, right aspiration line, cutter test and infusion line
and the cannula. Irrigation will be shut off and some BSS will be left in the priming cup at the
end of priming cycle. The system will transition to Surgical screen. Inspect the infusion line to
ensure it is free of air bubbles. If there are bubbles in the infusion line, toggle
Irrigation On
from the screen and tap the line to purge if of the air bubbles. To turn irrigation off, use the
tubing clamp or toggle
Irrigation Off from the screen.
Note:
Make sure to remove vitrectomy cutter by pulling it away from the priming cup, without allowing
the cutter needle to touch the priming tray.
Illumination Function (Posterior/Combined Domain)
WARNING: Care should be taken to avoid concentrating the illumination output on a small area of the
retina for unnecessarily prolonged periods of time, due to the potential for phototoxicity and
serious permanent injury.
CAUTION: Do not use lamps in damp locations, in areas of high humidity, or if condensation is likely to
have formed - for example, immediately after moving from a cold location to a warm location.
CAUTION: Do not block air vents.
Note:
The surgeon should use the minimum illumination necessary to undertake the desired procedure.
Fiber optic illumination for intraocular viewing is accomplished with the
Stellaris® PC
Vision Enhancement
System . The system contains two individually controlled light outputs, each with its own lamp. The standard
configuration is a xenon lamp in the lower position (Lamp 1) and xenon-mercury lamp in the upper position
(Lamp 2), but can be configured with either type of lamp in either position. The probe connector contains a
shutter mechanism to prevent light leakage when the probe is not connected.
