A preliminary simple test named Tuning is required whenever a phaco handpiece is
plugged in.
Tuning ensures that the handpiece has suitable response for the equipment.
Tuning is executed automatically executed by the equipment at the end of the
priming procedure.
CAUTION:
Don't try to tune the tip in air as tip damage may result.
Also, tuning is automatically accomplished at the first footswitch depression.
If the tuning procedure fails, the message “Please Check Tip” appears for 4
seconds and the user is required to prime once again.
CAUTION:
Although the PULSAR
2
is equipped with the Minimal Stress circuitry to
limit the amount of ultrasound energy delivered to the eye, still some
care must be taken to avoid damages (corneal burns) to the
endothelium of the eye:
Always use the minimum level of ultrasound energy which is suitable
to remove the cataract.
The incision should not be too tight around the sleeve, allow some
irrigating solution leakage.
Do not stress the incision by torsions while trying to reach fragments
of nucleus in the eye.
When the phaco tip is fully engaged in the nucleus, aspiration flow
stops and the tip is not correctly cooled down. Do not activate
Ultrasound for long time or at high energy levels while the tip is
occluded.
