1 Getting Started
For Combined Domain:
• Select the
Easy Prime
button from the
Prime and Tune screen
to fill the left and right tubing with
BSS solution, and then perform a test of the pneumatic cutter. During this process, the gravity feed
infusion I/V pole will raise to 100 cm or lower if maximum ceiling height is set lower than 100 cm
for the anterior. In the posterior/combined domains, I/V pole will raise to the maximum ceiling height
programmed for the system. With the air pressured infusion, the pressure will raise to 73 mmHg for
anterior domain and 103 mmHg for posterior/combined domains.
• Select the Prime/Test Vit button to activate the vacuum on right side aspiration line and test the
pneumatic vitrectomy function. The handpiece tip must be submerged in BSS during this process. After
the line has been primed, this button will become
Test Vit , which will activate the cutter test without
aspiration.
• The operation of the Prime/Tune U/S button differs, depending on which ultrasound handpiece is
connected to the system.
• Fragmentation Handpiece: Select the Prime/Tune U/S button to activate aspiration on the left line
and tune the fragmentation handpiece. The electrical connector on the fragmentation handpiece
must be inserted into the Stellaris® PC Vision Enhancement System and the tip submerged in BSS
before this option is selected. After the line has been primed, this button will become
Tune U/S ,
which will activate a shorter cycle of aspiration and tuning.
• Ultrasound handpiece: Select the
Prime/Tune U/S
button to initiate priming of the irrigation and
left aspiration line, followed by tuning of the ultrasound handpiece and a vacuum test. During this
process, the IV bottle will be raised to 100 cm or the system will use a pressure of 73 mmHg if AFI
is used. The irrigation line and the aspiration line need to be connected to the ultrasound handpiece
with the test chamber attached to the tip of the ultrasound handpiece. After the line has been
primed, this button will change to
Tune U/S
which will activate a shorter cycle of aspiration and
tuning without the vacuum test.
• Select the Prime/Aux button to activate aspiration to fill the left aspiration line with BSS. After the line
has been primed, subsequent priming cycles will be slightly shorter.
For Anterior Domain:
• Select the Prime and Tune button from the
Prime and Tune Screen
to initiate priming of the irrigation
and left aspiration line, followed by tuning of the ultrasound handpiece and a vacuum test. During this
process, the IV bottle will be raised to 100 cm or the system will use a pressure of 73 mmHg if AFI is
used. The irrigation line and the aspiration line need to be connected to the ultrasound handpiece with
the test chamber attached to the tip of the ultrasound handpiece. After the line has been primed, this
button will change to
Tune Only which will activate a shorter cycle of aspiration and tuning without
the vacuum test.
• Select the Prime Only button from the
Prime and Tune Screen
to initiate priming of the irrigation and
left aspiration line, followed by a vacuum test. The irrigation line and the aspiration line need to be
connected to the ultrasound handpiece with the test chamber attached to the tip of the ultrasound
handpiece. During this process, the IV bottle will be raised to 100 cm or the system will use a pressure
of 73 mmHg if AFI is used. After the line has been primed, the button will activate a shorter cycle of
aspiration without the vacuum test.
• Select the
Pneumatic Vit test
to activate aspiration and a test of the pneumatic cutter.
• In the anterior domain, the remote control can be used to activate functions in the “Prime and Tune”
window of the setup screen. The remote control UP/DOWN buttons are used to move the arrow and
select options in the “Prime and Tune” window:
