26) DO NOT SUBJECT THE HANDPIECE TO HOT AIR STERILIZATION OR "CHEMCLAVE".
27) DO NOT STORE OR USE THE HANDPIECE IF WET OR MOIST.
28) ALTHOUGH THE FIBER OPTIC ENDO-OCULAR ILLUMINATION SYSTEM IS PROVIDED
WITH SAFETY FILTERS TO MINIMIZE EMISSION OF INFRA RED AND ULTRA VIOLET
RADIATION, TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE RETINA, ALWAYS USE THE
MINIMUM LIGHT POWER LEVEL WHICH IS COMPATIBLE TO THE SURGICAL
APPLICATION.
29) TO REDUCE THE HAZARD OF RETINAL DAMAGE, DO NOT GO WITH THE EDGE OF
THE FIBER OPTIC ILLUMINATION PROBE IN THE IMMEDIATE PROXIMITY OF THE
RETINA.
30) DO NOT ACTIVATE THE VITRECTOMY HANDPIECE WITH THE TIP IN AIR. THE TIP
SHOULD ALWAYS BE TEST RUN IN A BEAKER OF STERILE SOLUTION. TESTING IN
AIR WILL CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE TIP.
31) HANDPIECES AND OTHER NON DISPOSABLE ACCESSORIES ARE SUPPLIED NON
STERILE. THEY MUST BE FIRST CLEANED, THEN STERILIZED IN AUTOCLAVE AS
INDICATED ON THE RELATIVE INSTRUCTIONS. THEY COULD BE DAMAGED BY THE
USE OF OTHER STERILIZATION METHODS, LIKE HOT AIR OR "CHEMCLAVE"
STERILIZATION.

DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
34) DO NOT CHECK VIBRATION BY PLACING HAND OR FINGER AGAINST HANDPIECE
TIP. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO OR DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VIBRATING TIP
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO HEALTHY TISSUE.
35) THE PHACO HANDPIECE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE ASSISTANT IRRIGATION-
ASPIRATION SYSTEM AND MUST NOT BE USED WITHOUT IT.
36) AN EXTERNAL STERILIZING FILTER MUST BE INSERTED TO THE AIR SOCKET TO
PREVENT INFECTIONS. THE FILTER IS INTENDED FOR SINGLE USE AND MUST BE
REPLACED AT ANY NEW SURGERY.
37) THE USE OF NON STANDARD AIR SUPPLY TUBING KIT, MAY COMPROMISE THE
ACCURACY OF INTRAOUCULAR AIR PRESSURE.
38) DURING SILICONE OIL INJECTION, THE INTRA-OCULAR PRESSURE IS NOT
CONTROLLED BY THE ASSISTANT UNIT. THEREFORE, THIS IOP CONTROL IS
