WARNING: Do not check function of ultrasonic handpiece by placing hand or finger against tip or
unintended damage to healthy tissue may result.
WARNING: Ensure sufficient volume of irrigation solution for the procedure. Level should be
monitored during the procedure.
WARNING: Ensure that the maximum capacity of the collection bag is not exceeded as this could
cause a hazardous situation to the patient.
WARNING: Do not manually force the pole height because this could cause incorrect indication of
bottle height and patient injury.
WARNING: Intraocular pressure of the eye can be affected by the suspension height of the
irrigating solution and vacuum level during surgery. Irrigation solution source must be at or above
the patient’s eye level.
WARNING: Use only tubing set approved for Model 3000.
WARNING: The level of the patient’s eye must be between the bottom of the installed tubing
cassette and no more than ten (10) centimeters below the bottom of the installed tubing cassette to
ensure proper fluid dynamics of the vacuum system.
WARNING: Hazards may exist with patients with cardiac pacemakers or other active implants due
to frequency interference with the action of the pacemaker or damage to the pacemaker itself.
WARNING: Ensure that any other monitoring electrode equipment or electromagnetic equipment
near the patient will not interfere with the surgical procedure or place the patient at risk with undue
contact when used simultaneously with the Model 3000 Phacoemulsification System.
WARNING: Interference produced by operation of the Model 3000 Phacoemulsification System may
adversely influence the operation of other electronic equipment.
WARNING: Electrode cables should be positioned in such a way that contact with the patient or
other cables is avoided.
WARNING: Temporarily unused active electrodes should be stored in a location that is isolated from
the patient.
WARNING: The output power selected should be as low as possible for the intended purpose.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of accidental burns, caution should always be taken when operating
high frequency surgical equipment.
CAUTION: Do not activate the ultrasonic handpiece with the tip in air as immediate, irreparable
damage may result.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on the system console, particularly the
touchscreen. Non-flammable agents should be used for cleaning and disinfection wherever possible.
CAUTION: Do not spray liquids directly onto the system console or submerge the system console or
foot pedal into liquids – see Chapter 9 Cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not activate the US Handpiece continuously at 100% power for more than 1 minute,
50% duty cycle.
