QUICK TIP: TREATMENT
Once finished with the procedure, remember to press Vacuum off and be ready to catch the fluid
once the suction ring separates from eye.
WARNING
Standard continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis (CCC) surgical technique must be used for surgical
removal of the capsulotomy disc. The capsulotomy may have residual uncut areas that should be
completed by advancing the capsule through the incompletely cut area in a circumferential
fashion, rather than pulling it radially. The use of improper capsulotomy disc removal technique
may potentially cause or contribute to anterior capsule tear and/or a noncircular, irregularly
shaped capsulotomy.
Instructions for Interrupted Treatments
The instructions for interrupted treatments differ depending on when the interruption occurred
and what caused it.
Treatments Interrupted Prior to Initiating Laser Delivery
A treatment that is interrupted prior to initiating laser delivery (e.g., due to loss of Bluetooth
connection between the Mobile Patient Bed and the CATALYS® System, loss of vacuum, or
pressing of the ABORT TREATMENT button on the Docking Screen) may be reinitiated by re-
capturing the suction ring and resuming the treatment.
Treatments Interrupted During Laser Delivery
An incision other than capsulotomy that is interrupted during laser delivery for any of the
following reasons can and may be reinitiated, since precise co-registration is not required and
safety margins are preserved:
• PAUSE TREATMENT button on the Treatment Progress Screen is pressed
• Laser footswitch is released
• Door interlock is activated
• Vertical or lateral force is in the orange zone
NOTE
In the preceding cases, a “Clearable Error” message displays, and you must press the OK button
to acknowledge and clear the error. To resume laser treatment, release the laser footswitch and
then press it again.
In the event a corneal incision is interrupted and resumed, do not attempt to force the incision
open if it is not blunt dissectible. If the corneal incision is not blunt dissectible, use a bladed
instrument to create a separate corneal incision to continue with the procedure.
