Constellation
®
Vision System
Pneumatic and Electrical Connectors
The Constellation
®
Vision System console contains two vertical columns of connectors,
located on the left side of the cassette, for surgical probes and handpieces. The right
column is for pneumatic probes, and the left column is for electrical handpieces.
LED Rings - The rings surrounding each front panel connector automatically
illuminate in a particular color to guide the user in making the proper connection to
the system as follows:
Blue - When a surgical tool selection is made in a Setup screen, the LED ring
around the related connector illuminates in a blue color
Green - When the surgical tool is connected correctly, the system changes the
LED ring to green. Once lit, the LED ring remains on until another tool/port is
selected or the system transitions to the surgery screen(s).
Amber - If the surgical tool is connected incorrectly, the LED ring illuminates in
an amber color until the condition is corrected.
WARNING!
Connect only Alcon supplied consumables to console/cassette connectors. Do
not connect consumables to patient intravenous connections.
Footswitch Storage Hook
This footswitch storage hook is located at the bottom of the front panel. When the
footswitch is not in use or the system is being moved, use this hook to store and
protect the footswitch.
Instrument Tray (optional)
Provides a movable instrument tray within the sterile field. There is a curved metal
rod on either side of the tray arm that allows for creation of a sterile pouch when
used with sterile tray arm cover. The tray is capable of accommodating a variety of
positions in the operating room environment: right, left, front and rear of the surgeon
as well as the front of the bed. The tray is height adjustable.
WARNINGS!
The maximum allowable load on the instrument tray is 20 lb (9 kg). If the load
exceeds this limit, the tray arm will automatically lower itself in order to avoid
tipping the system over. Additionally, if the instrument tray is positioned over
a patient, a mayo stand should be placed beneath it to avoid a potential collapse
of the tray arm onto the patient.
Place the instrument tray in the stored position (see Figure 2-1) prior to
transportation to avoid a situation that could cause the system to tip.
IV Pole with Bottle Hanger (optional)
A bottle of BSS
®
or BSS Plus
®
irrigating fluid is hung from the hook on top of this
pole. The IV pole is used to raise and lower the bottle height, causing irrigation
pressure to increase or decrease.
WARNING!
Do not use Legacy
®
IV pole extender with Constellation
®
Vision System IV pole.
