•
Always use the lowest ultrasonic output power level which is compatible to the
surgical application.
•
The phaco handpiece must be connected to the PULSAR irrigation/aspiration
system and must not be used without it.
•
Excessive U/S for the level of power selected could indicate a fault. In this
case, stop using the system at once.
Vitrectomy
•
Do not activate the vitrectomy handpiece with the tip in air. The tip should
always be test run in a beaker of sterile solution. Testing in air will cause
irreparable damage to the tip.
Footswitch
•
Never lift or move footswitch by the cable. Damage may result.
•
The footswitch is not autoclaveable.
Sterilization
•
The re-use of materials labelled as “For single use” may be cause of
malfunctions and/or infections which could severely affect patient’s safety.
•
All reusable accessories are supplied non sterile. They must be first cleaned,
then sterilized in autoclave as indicated on the relevant instructions for use.
They could be damaged by the use of other sterilization methods, like hot air
or “chemclave” sterilization.
•
All disposable accessories are provided in a sterile condition and labelled as
such. Do not sterilize them after use.
