1) IRRIGATION PINCH VALVE
The valve allows starting and stopping irrigation at surgeon’s demand.
2) REFLUX PINCH VALVE
The Reflux/Venting pinch valve permits introduction of fresh BSS solution
in the aspiration line, thus releasing the vacuum in the line and,
eventually, reversing direction of flow.
3) ACS3 VACUUM SENSOR
The ACS3 vacuum sensor monitors the vacuum level in the aspiration line in
a sterile manner. It also prevents sudden vacuum surges, thus stabilizing
the anterior chamber.
4) PERISTALTIC PUMP
This pump allows peristaltic aspiration in the ASSISTANT. The pump rotor is
automatically moved to allow tubing installation and/or Venturi aspiration.
5) I/A CASSETTE RELEASE BUTTON
This button allows the I/A cassette to be mounted and removed.
6) LEVEL SENSOR
This sensor blocks aspiration if the I/A cassette is full.
