10)
Adjust the flow rate of the PULSAR unit in the FLOW window according to the
operator needs.
CAUTION
Always test the balance between irrigation and aspiration settings by
using the test chamber: fill the test chamber with irrigating solution
and fit it on the irrigation sleeve. Fill the test chamber with irrigating
solution and fit it on the irrigation sleeve.
Place the test chamber to the same level of the patient’s eye and
activate aspiration at the levels set for subsequent surgery.
Bend the aspiration line close to the handpiece, wait for the vacuum
to rise to the preset level.
Release the aspiration tube; the test chamber should not collapse. If it
collapses, reduce the vacuum setting or increase the irrigating
solution height. Do not proceed until the correct balance is obtained.
11)
Plug the electrical connector of the handpiece into the U/S socket (Fig.1, No.4)
on the equipment front panel.
12)
From the POWER window, use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys to adjust the
level in relation to the travel of the tip (phacoemulsifier power).
13)
Selecting the <REDUCTION MODE> field <C> key will cause you to enter a sub-
screen where it is possible to adjust the following parameters: RISE TIME (2-50
cc/min) which, in the case of an obstructed tip, forces the pump speed to
match the selected value, AUTO PULSED (ON/OFF) which modifies the mode of
emission of the ultrasounds from continuous to pulsed (8 Hz), and POWER LIMIT
(5-100 microns) which reduces the value of the travel of the tip of the
handpiece to the set value. To return to the standard U/S mode once the
parameters have been set, you simply need to press the <DONE> key.
14)
Selecting the <EMISSION MODE> field <D> key will cause a small menu to be
opened which allows you to select the power energy mode (continuous, Pulsed
1-40Hz, Single Burst, Multi-Burst, Continuous Burst). To return to the standard
U/S mode once the parameters have been set, you simply need to press the
<DONE> key.
15)
Selecting the <LIN. PAN. CONTROL> (linear, panel, control) field <E> key will
cause to be displayed the fields that allow switching from the LINEAR mode to
the SET CONTROL PANEL mode or vice versa. Key <C> for controlling the pump
speed <FLOW CONTROL>, key <D> for the vacuum limit <VAC CONTROL>, and
