Tamponade
Air Tamponade
Air tamponade is a function where the air pressure is temporarily elevated to a pre-programmed level during a
Fluid/Air Exchange procedure. The pressure level for air tamponade is higher than pressure use during normal
operation. The temporary increase of pressure is normally used to stop intraocular bleeding.
The Air Tamponade function is enabled by the
Elev Inf
On/Off button on the display (see Figure 4.15 ), or the
foot control switch if it is programmed to control Elevated Infusion. Adjusting the air pressure above 60 mmHg
will also enabled elevated infusion. The tamponade pressure is displayed in the surgical screen and may be
adjusted by selecting the numeric pressure display or using the touchscreen Up/Down arrows. Air Tamponade
would also be enabled whenever the Fluid/Air Exchange pressure level is raised above the programmed
tamponade level.
When the function is enabled, a voice confirmation will sound and an elapsed time counter will be displayed in
the surgical screen.
A voice confirmation for tamponade duration will be provided at one minute intervals. A bell will be sounded at
30 second intervals. When
Elev Inf
is disabled or the Fluid/Air Exchange level is reduced below the tamponade
level, a voice confirmation will sound and the timer will be cleared from the screen.
When
Elev Inf
is toggled off, the Fluid/Air Exchange function status and pressure will return to the value it had
prior to turning
Elev Inf
on, and the timer will be cleared from the screen.
Figure 4.15. Surgical screen displays Elevated Infusion control (status ON) and timer.
