• Check that the BSS bottle and the pressurized bag for forced irrigation are
placed at or above the patient’s eye level.
• Before starting an intervention, ensure that the volume of available irrigation
solution is sufficient and monitor it throughout the intervention.
• During the operation constantly monitor the saline solution level in the
irrigation bottle. If the amount of saline solution is deemed insufficient for
completing the operation, immediately inform the surgeon and proceed to
replace the irrigation bottle and the pressurized bag for forced irrigation
according to the following procedure:
GRAVITY INFUSION
1. Interrupt the surgical procedure and remove the handpiece’s tip from the
incision.
2. Close the clamp on the infusion set’s line.
3. Unhook the bottle from the I.V. pole when the bottle is almost empty.
4. Remove the infusion set’s spike from the bottle, being careful not to touch it
with your hands and not to allow it to come into contact with any non-sterile
material.
5. Insert the infusion set’s spike in the cap of the new bottle and hook it to the
I.V. pole.
6. If the drip chamber becomes completely empty, squeeze it to fill it with
saline solution until it is approximately 50% full.
7. Reopen the irrigation clamp.
Note: If air bubbles are observed in the infusion set’s line or in the irrigation
line, ask the surgeon to activate just irrigation until the bubbles have been
expelled, before reinserting the surgical instrument’s tip in the patient’s eye.
FORCED INFUSION
1. Interrupt the surgical procedure and remove the handpiece’s tip from the
incision.
2. Close the clamp on the infusion set’s line.
3. Disconnect the air tube from the “AIR” outlet located on the instrument.
4. Unhook the almost empty bag from its support.
5. Remove the infusion set’s spike from the bag, being careful not to touch it
with your hands and not to allow it to come into contact with any non-sterile
material.
6. Insert the infusion set’s spike in the cap of the new bag and hook it to the
support.
