5.9.14 PREFERENCES
The Preferences mode allows the user to set their preference for the control of the Flow
Rate (cc/min) when in the U/S Phaco mode.
Linear Flow: The peristaltic pump speed, or Flow (cc/min), is controlled by the actuation of the foot
pedal in position (2) between zero and the maximum limit set by the user using the UP or DOWN
arrow keys or the default setting of the Flow parameter. The actual Flow Rate display will show the
position of the foot pedal from zero to the preset Flow Rate value on the console. The foot pedal has
three (3) positions in the U/S Phaco Mode:
Position (1): Irrigation
Position (2): Irrigation & Aspiration
Position (3): Irrigation, Aspiration & U/S Phaco Power
When the Foot Pedal is in position (3), Flow Rate (cc/min) will remain at the maximum preset value.
Fixed Flow: The Fixed Flow Rate is set by the UP or DOWN arrow keys of the Flow (cc/min.)
parameter. Once the Foot Pedal reaches position (2), the Flow Rate will be equal to the preset value.
