Constellation
®
Vision System
Caster Wheels
Four large caster wheels support the Constellation
®
Vision System. The wheels rotate
360º for ease of system mobility, and have a locking lever to secure the system in
place. The wheels should always be locked (handle up) when the unit is in use, and
unlocked when being moved.
Illumination
Primary illumination is provided by two independently controlled ports located
just below the display. The light output at these ports is based on xenon arc lamp
technology that generates high brightness white light. Each port will allow the use
of 20, 23, and 25 GA ACMI Terminated fiber probes. For 20 GA probes, the port
provides a minimum of 50 lumens at 100% setting (0-200 hours), and for 25 GA
probes, the port provides a minimum of 15 lumens at 100% setting (0-200 hours).
Auxillary illumination is available as an optional feature that provides for two
additional channels of high brightness white light.
Laser (optional)
The optional laser module is used for retinal and macular photocoagulation;
iridotomy and anterior segment procedures; trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation;
laser trabeculoplasty, trans-scleral retinal photocoagulation, and other diode laser
treatments.
Footswitch Connector
The footswitch connector is located on the front panel and is used to connect the
Constellation
®
Vision System footswitch to the console. (In monolith configuration,
the footswitch connection is made in the front of the base.)
Handles
Handles are located on the sides and back of the instrument, and should always be
used to move the unit. For greater safety and control, the unit should be pulled, not
pushed.
CAUTION
The system must be moved carefully, otherwise the system could tip over and become
damaged. Do not push or pull the unit by the display, the tray, or the IV pole. Handles
located at the rear and sides of the unit are provided for moving the instrument. The
unit should be pulled and not pushed, especially over elevator and door thresholds.
