conditions.
WHITESTAR
SIGNATURE™
System Console
Operating Room teams contributed significantly to the successful design of the
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Cart. The solid wheel base and locking
wheels make the cart stable and smooth rolling. An adjustable height Mayo tray
accommodates the handpieces and tubing. The remote control is wireless and
recharges when the remote control is placed in the storage bay. An open bin and
footpedal platform are available for storage.
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Display (Graphic User
Interface-GUI)
The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System graphic screen display is easy to read
and easy to operate. You can see at a glance the status of the system. The screen
gives you visual indication of operating modes, settings, and system status.
Messages cue you through the procedure, and error messages indicate improper
connections or selections. Help information is available from the touch screen
controls.
Prime/Tune
Before the start of each surgical case, the system requires Prime, Tune or Prime/
Tune to be executed. The Prime mode incorporates the function of tubing purge,
and fills and completes the fluid aspiration and vacuum check. The Tune mode
incorporates the ultrasonic power calibration and safety check for the connected
phaco handpiece. The Prime/Tune mode allows the system to prime and tune the
handpiece at the same time.
Dual Pump
The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System provides a fluid aspiration system
using either a peristaltic (flow-based) pump or a Venturi (vacuum-based) pump
system. The surgeon can utilize the Venturi pump in the Phaco, IA, and Vitrectomy
surgical modes.
Continuous Irrigation
Continuous Irrigation is immediately available via dedicated keys on the touch
screen and the wireless remote control. Surgeon control of Continuous Irrigation
with the footpedal is also available. Continuous Irrigation can be used to fill cups
prior to Prime/Tune. The Cup Fill feature can be used in place of Continuous
Irrigation when you fill a cup. The Cup Fill feature is only available from the
Prime/Tune screen. (See Chapter 4 Equipment Operation, Prime/Tune for Detailed
information.)
