Presurgical Check-out Tests
Presurgical check-out tests must be performed as outlined in the Operating Instructions
section. If an Event message is displayed on the front panel, refer to the Troubleshooting
section of this manual. If the problem persists, DO NOT PROCEED.
WARNINGS!
When lling handpiece test chamber, if stream of uid is weak or absent, good
uidics response will be jeopardized. Good clinical practice dictates the testing for
adequate irrigation and aspiration ow prior to entering the eye.
Ensure that tubings are not occluded or pinched during any phase of operation.
Perform visual inspection of accessories for burrs or bent tips prior to use.
IV Pole
WARNINGS!
Keep clear of the IV pole when it is in motion to prevent skin, hair, and/or clothing
from being trapped in the IV pole mechanism. The IV pole moves during power on/
off, priming, and bottle height adjustment.
IV pole rises automatically. To avoid stretching drip chamber tubing, and possibly
pulling drip chamber out of bottle, tubing must hang freely with no interference.
When out of use, remove uid bottle from IV pole and ip bottle hanger into its storage
position to avoid injury.
Empirical numbers for bottle heights are not a replacement for competent surgical
technique. The surgeon should visually and physically monitor intraocular pressure.
Footswitch
If required, the footswitch may be wiped with alcohol, mild soap and water, or any
germicidal solution that is compatible with the plastic parts.
WARNING!
Route the footswitch cable properly to avoid tripping.
CAUTIONS
Do not clean the footswitch using solvents, abrasives, or any cleaner that is not
compatible with plastic parts made of GE Cycoloy CU 6800 and LEXAN 920A.
Damage may result.
Never pick up or move the footswitch by the cable. Dropping or kicking the
footswitch can cause irreparable damage.
