activated, ultrasound will be activated as soon as the pedal has been pressed
beyond the first detent; this will extend the available travel for linear control.
In the U/S mode, if both aspiration and phacoemulsifier have been set in the linear
mode, the power level of aspiration and ultrasound will gradually increase by
pressing the pedal until it is completely pressed down.
When the main pedal is rotated to the surgeon's left an immediate REFLUX through
the aspiration line of the connected handpiece occurs. REFLUX is a back flow
caused by the REFLUX valve opening allowing fresh BSS solution in the aspiration
line. A sound of low pitch (800 Hz) is heard.
Whenever the main pedal is depressed beyond detent #2 DIATHERMY, if selected, is
activated.
"CONTINUOUS IRRIGATION" switch reverses the state of the IRRIGATION pinch valve
which if close opens, if open closes.
The MMP switching control allows the user to switch between Memories 1, 2, and 3
in U/S and Memories 1 and 2 in I/A mode.
The switching control for changing the function makes it possible to switch from
U/S mode to I/A mode and vice versa and from VIT mode to DIATH mode and vice
versa.
When the CONTINUOUS IRRIGATION is activated, there is an immediate gravity fed
irrigation through the handpiece.
Audible and visual feedbacks are provided as indication of selected modes, and
associated alarm conditions.
The pedal programmed for single mode for left-handed users "SING. LEFT" (refer to
section 8.7) behaves in the same manner as the single linear mode with the sole
change that the functions set for the horizontal rotation of the pedal have been
inverted.
If the pedal is set to the "MMP" mode (refer to section 8.7), the REFLUX function is
set on the pedal button located above and to the left (MMP), while the MMP
functions, which permit the user to switch between memories 1, 2, and 3 in the
U/S mode and memories 1 and 2 in the I/A mode, are set by means of the
horizontal rotation of the pedal (right rotation to increase and left rotation to
decrease).
In the "IVP" mode (refer to section 8.7) the pedal button located above and to the
left raises the I.V. pole and the button located below and to the left lowers the I.V.
pole.
