MODES & FUNCTIONS
FIGURE 7
IRR. ONLY THE IRRIGATION PINCH VALVE IS
ACTUATED WITH DEPRESSION OF THE FOOTPEDAL
TREADLE. WITH THE IRRIGATION PINCH VALVE
ACTUATION, IRRIGATING FLUID CAN PASS
FROM THE IRRIGATING CONTAINER TO
THE PATIENT'S EYE.
I/A. IRRIGATION AND ASPIRATION ARE BOTH
PROVIDED WITH DEPRESSION OF THE FOOTPEDAL
TREADLE. VACUUM LIMIT RANGE IS 0 - 500mmHG AND
IS SET BY THE I/A VAC KNOB. THE RATE THAT THE
VACUUM INCREASES WITH AN OCCLUSION IS DETERMINED
BY THE RATE KNOB. MAXIMUM RATE IS 40cc/MIN.
WHEN CONTROL SWITCH IS POSITIONED IN SURGEON,
RATE IS CONTROLLED VIA THE FOOTPEDAL TREADLE,
UP TO THE RATE LIMIT SETTING.
VIT. ALLOWS THE USE OF A PNEUMATIC
VITRECTOR. MAXIMUM VACUUM IS 500mmHG.
MAXIMUM RATE IS RECOMMENDED TO BE
20cc/MIN AND IS INDICATED ON THE RATE
KNOB. WHEN CONTROL SWITCH IS POSITIONED
IN SURGEON, RATE IS CONTROLLED VIA
THE FOOTPEDAL TREADLE, UP TO MAX SETTING.
U/S. SELECTION CAN BE MADE IN STD OR PULSE.
THIS MODE ALLOWS THE SURGEON TO OPERATE THE
U/S HANDPIECE TO EMULSIFY THE CATARACTOUS
LENS NUCLEUS & ASPIRATE THE FRAGMENTS.
U/S POWER IS DETERMINED BY THE U/S POWER
KNOB. VACUUM IS LIMITTED TO 120mmHG MAX IN
BOTH STD & PULSE MODES. THERE IS NO TUNING
REQUIRED. WHEN CONTROL SWITCH IS POSITIONED
IN SURGEON, U/S POWER IS CONTROLLED VIA
THE FOOTPEDAL TREADLE, UP TO MAX SETTING.
REFLUX. PROVIDES A BACK FLUSH OF
IRRIGATION SOLUTION IN THE ASPIRATION
TUBING, GIVING THE SURGEON THE ABILITY
TO FREE UNWANTED TISSUE OCCLUDING
THE TIP.
CAUTERY. PROVIDES BIPOLAR DIATHERMY
WHEN DEPRESSED.
