7 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
7.1 MAIN FEATURES
DISPLAY
The PULSAR
2
is equipped with an interactive touch-screen LCD (liquid Crystal
Display). The user interface consists of graphic software running on a Windows CE
platform and simulating the various keys and displays. The user can select the
equipment function and adjust the relevant parameters by touching the screen in
the appropriate areas. Actual and preset values for each parameter are displayed.
If a sterile drape is placed on the monitor the equipment can be operated by a
sterile scrub nurse.
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Irrigation in the PULSAR
2
system is gravity fed. Fluid flow rate and IntraOcular
Pressure (IOP) are determined by the infusion source height. A pinch valve allows
sterile on/off control of the irrigation via the system footswitch or by means of the
<IRR> soft key in the graphical user interface. A green “virtual” LED on the <IRR>
key indicates that the pinch valve is open.
Irrigation valve uses a linear solenoid which provides a high force and a quick
response. A solenoid is a specially designed electro-magnet used to convert
electrical energy into mechanical action. When the solenoid is energized by
depressing the footswitch, the irrigation valve plunger is retracted allowing the
irrigating solution to flow by gravity. When de-energized (footswitch released), the
plunger closes the irrigation, thus preventing the fluid movement.
The PULSAR
2
can control an automatic electric I.V. pole that provides adjustment
of the irrigation source height, or a forced irrigation bag, if the optional vit module
is available.
ASPIRATION SYSTEM
OPTIKON 2000 S.P.A. PULSAR
2
surgical system delivers aspiration through the
action of its dual pump system. The Surgeon can choose between a Peristaltic
pump and a Venturi pump depending on the surgery needs and to his preferences.
Fluids and particulate materials are aspirated at the distal end of the tip and
subsequently deposited in the collection tank of the disposable or reusable tubing
set.
A safety vacuum sensor is incorporated to monitor the value of vacuum in the
aspiration line and then to adjust the action of the pump. This vacuum reading is
