Cartridge and Tubing Set: the sterile
tubing and cartridge kit includes the aspiration tubing (aspirates
away used irrigation uid, fragmented tissue, and other materials
to the canister), irrigation tubing (provides irrigation to the surgical
site during the surgical procedure), and a cartridge (connects the
tubing to the console). The kit is designed for single patient use
and must be disposed of after surgery.
• Single Use Tip Pack: the single-use tip pack contains a tip, ue,
nosecone, and stylet. The stylet is used to remove tissue blockage
from the tip and/or handpiece. You can remove the stylet from the
packaging and put it aside within the sterile eld for later use. The
pack is designed for single patient use and must be disposed of
after each surgery.
• Extended Use Tip (EUT) Pack: the EUT pack contains a single
tip, ve nosecones, ve ues, and ve stylets. The tip must be
sterilized and may be used up to ve times. Each nosecone, ue,
and stylet must be sterilized before use and must be disposed of
after each use.
• Torque Wrench: the torque wrench is designed for
single-use and must be disposed of after each surgery.
• Specimen Trap: a device that attaches to the canister to trap
waste.
• Cleaning Brush: a brush that is used to clean the internal
pathway of the handpiece and tip.
Fragmentation
Electromechanical Operation
The console supplies the high-frequency handpiece with an alternating
voltage signal at 36,000 cycles per second (36 kHz). This voltage is
directed to opposite poles of a stack of piezoelectric ceramic discs, which
are fastened to the metallic body inside the handpiece. The resulting
oscillating electric eld causes the discs to vibrate, and this vibration is
transmitted down the length of the metallic body and into the surgical tip.
The slender, tapered shape of the surgical tip focuses this vibrational
energy, causing tissue fragmentation.
Irrigation
The system transfers irrigation uid from a user-supplied IV saline or
Lactated Ringer’s solution to the distal tip of the handpiece. Sterile
irrigation uid ows from an IV set (bottle or bag and IV administration
tubing) to a variable speed peristaltic pump.
