Continuous phaco power provides continuous uninterrupted phaco power to the
handpiece and requires no pulse rate settings.
Pulsed phaco power causes the power to be pulsed at predetermined intervals
when the footswitch is in position 3. Within the Pulsed Mode settings the surgeon
can also select:.
•
Pulsed 1-40Hz is available in linear or panel power. It generates periodic
pulses of U/S power. The user may select from a range of 1-40 pulses/sec.
•
Single Burst. Delivers a single burst of U/S power of 120 ms duration. The
surgeon must return to footswitch position 2, pause for approx. ½ sec and
then depress it back into position 3 to obtain an additional burst.
•
Multi Burst. Generates bursts of U/S power of 80 ms duration, with
additional bursts deployed beginning at approx. 1 burst per second when foot
position 3 is first entered. As the footswitch is depressed further, the
frequency of bursts will increase up to a maximum rate of 4 bursts per
second.
•
Continuous Burst. Delivers an 80 ms burst duration. As the footswitch is
depressed through position 3, the bursts will get closer and closer together.
At maximum depression of the footswitch the bursts will blend together and
the equipment will deliver continuous U/S power.
