GENERAL INFORMATION
5.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
PULSAR is a unit for anterior segment surgical procedures on the human eye. Reliability and
versatility, combined with sound engineering design, make PULSAR unique among similar
devices currently available on the world market. It is designed to perform irrigation,
irrigation/aspiration, phacoemulsification, anterior vitrectomy and bipolar diathermy
coagulation procedures.
PULSAR operates with time saving simplicity and is easy to use thanks to the LCD (Liquid
Crystal Display) touch-screen user interface.
It can be operated with factory set parameters, or user defined setup parameters (user
programs). All functions and operational parameters are independently set up by pressing
the appropriate soft keys on the touch-screen. Once the selected function has been set up,
it may be executed in real-time by simply depressing the footswitch.
The aspiration is equipped with a peristaltic pump system. The anticollapse system
eliminates pulsation and increase fluid suction precision. Vacuum is programmable from 5
to 500 mmHg, step 5 mmHg.
Irrigation flow and Intra Ocular Pressure are regulated by the height of the irrigation source.
Gravity fed reflux from BSS irrigation source provides reverse flow in a perfectly sterile
environment.
Versatility is assured by the wide range of available accessories, which provide the surgeon
with the facility to undertake most ophthalmic procedures. All microsurgical handpieces
are ergonomically designed for comfort in use and maximum manual dexterity. Custom
option and variety of accessories allow tailoring “OPTIKON PULSAR” to your specific needs.
Clear audio/visual alerts indicate situations requiring attention, plus ensuring patient
safety.
The PULSAR unit is optimally safeguarded and built according to the latest INTERNATIONAL
SECURITY STANDARDS. All possible safeguards are built-in so that the equipment will not
react on inappropriate manipulations.
