The equipment used in conjunction with the Alcon disposables constitutes a complete

to the malfunction of the equipment under contract, could result in the voidance of
the contract and/or invoicing at prevailing hourly rates.
Perform visual inspection of accessories for burs or bent tips prior to use.
Do not remove the FMS during the procedure.
Do not use any Vitrectomy probes that have not been approved for use on the
