6)
If it is desired to operate in the closed tip mode, touch the <A> key until the
message <CLOSE TIP> appears. Press <A> again to return to the open tip mode.
7)
The cutting speed can be adjusted by means of the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow
keys below the field <CUT RATE>.
8)
If it is desired to operate in the single cut mode, touch the <B> key until the
message <SINGLE CUT> appears. Press <B> again to return to the repetitive
cutting mode.
9)
Adjust the cutting port size on the vitreous cutter (semi-disposable model only).
NOTE:
Port size adjustment is accomplished by gently pushing and rotating the tip collar relative to the
handle to one of four detent positions. Each detent position varies the cutting port by
approximately 0.2 mm. Rotating the tip collar counter - clockwise (facing the base end) reduces the
size of the cutting port from 0.7 mm fully open to 0.2 mm narrow opening
10)
To eliminate air from the reflux line use the footswitch to activate the "REFLUX"
function (refer to section 8.6) until the aspiration line is fully filled.
11)
Depress footswitch beyond standby position to activate irrigation. Irrigation can
also be activated by the "CONTINUOUS IRRIGATION" button located on the
footswitch or by pressing the <IRR> soft key on the front panel.
12)
Depress footswitch beyond mechanical detent #1 to activate IRRIGATION and
ASPIRATION. If in LINEAR mode, the footswitch will linearly control VACUUM
level. In this condition the footswitch depression from detent #1 to max travel
linearly varies the VACUUM level from 5 mmHg to the preset maximum level.
13)
If footswitch is programmed for single linear mode, depress the main pedal
beyond mechanical detent #1 to activate vitrectomy (besides irrigation and
aspiration); rotate the main pedal to the right to disable vitrectomy. If in
LINEAR mode, the footswitch will linearly control CUT RATE level. In this
condition the footswitch depression from detent #1 to max travel linearly varies
the CUT RATE level from 60 mmHg to the preset maximum level.
14)
If footswitch is programmed for double linear mode rotate the main pedal to
the right to activate vitrectomy. If in SURGEON mode, the footswitch will
linearly control CUT RATE level. In this condition the rotation of the main
footswitch linearly varies the CUT RATE level from 60 mmHg to the preset
maximum level.
The vacuum level is automatically reduced to zero and a simultaneous VENTING
occurs whenever the footswitch is released.
