Viscous Fluid Control Setup and Use
Injection
1. Open a CX5720 disposable pack and place contents on a sterile surface.
2. Connect the locking air connector on the tubing set to the
Stellaris® PC
system (Top right connector,
Figure 1.22 .)
3. Connect the syringe coupler of the Viscous Fluid tubing to the syringe filled with silicone oil. Twist the
coupler to lock it securely to the syringe. (Refer to Figure 4.17 ).
WARNING: Ensure a black piston is in the syringe before connecting the syringe coupler to the syringe
filled with silicone oil. Failure to do so will cause patient injury.
4. Slowly turn the syringe upward so that the tip points toward the ceiling, allowing any air to move to the
tip in one cohesive bubble.
5. While holding the syringe in the upright position, remove the syringe cap from the syringe and attach
the 19 ga. Teflon® cannula. (Teflon® cannula is recommended for injection)
6. Select
Visc Inject
from the Surgical Screen clock menu to perform the VFC injection procedure.
7. To evacuate air from the syringe, hold the syringe in the upright position and activate low injection
pressure to force air out the tip of the cannula.
8. Remove the cannula cover before use.
