Operation
When the <U/S> key is pressed to select the ultrasound mode, the voice
synthesizer will announce "US 1." The ultrasound window will display the
emission mode (continuous, burst, or pulse), the phacoemulsifier timer, the EPT
time, and the timer reset (TIMER RESET).
1)
Screw the desired titanium tip into the end of the phaco handpiece, using care
to properly engage the threads. Finger tighten the tip.
2)
Carefully advance the ring spanner aperture over the titanium tip (being careful
not to touch the tip) so that the aperture fully engages the circular head at the
base of the tip and positioned against the end of handpiece. Once engaged,
grasp the tip circular head with ring spanner and tighten the tip snugly by
rotating clockwise. Do not over tighten
3)
Remove the ring spanner.
4)
If needed gently slide the threaded silicone sleeve over the U/S tip and engage
the sleeve threads. Slowly tighten the sleeve onto the handpiece until the end of
the sleeve leaves the amount of U/S tip exposed as preferred by the surgeon.
Orient the irrigation portholes on the sleeve onto the horizontal plane.
CAUTION
Use of a tool other than the ring spanner supplied with the system, or
improper use of the ring spanner, may cause damage to the tip and
handpiece. In case of damage, it is possible that titanium particles
detach from tip during surgery.
NOTE:
To disassemble the tip, follow the reverse order from assembly procedure
5)
The handpiece is now ready to accept the irrigation/aspiration tubing from the
PULSAR unit.
6)
Attach the ASPIRATION tube from the I/A tubing set by pushing the end fitting
into the corresponding fitting on the ultrasound handpiece.
7)
Attach the IRRIGATION tube from the I/A tubing set by pushing the end fitting
male Luer lock into the corresponding fitting on the ultrasound handpiece.
8)
Set the I.V. pole height in the Irrigation window so that the BSS bottle is hung
50 to 70 centimetres higher than the patient eye level.
9)
Adjust the vacuum level of PULSAR in the Aspiration window according to the
operator needs.
