Ultrasound application
WARNING Risk of injury to the patient's eye!
Do not check the operation or the vibration of the phaco
tip by touching it with the fingers: Prolonged exposure or
direct contact with the vibrating tip may cause tissue
damage.
• Never place your hand or finger on the phaco tip or the
silicone sleeve of the phaco handpiece while testing
the phaco handpiece (Priming).
CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient's eye!
Burns caused by excessive ultrasonic energy!
• The noise of the vibrations should increase by setting
the power of the ultrasounds to higher values, a
constant high noise at all power levels indicates a
malfunction of the device.
CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient's eye!
Improper movement of the phaco tip or silicone
sleeve in the incision could cause damage to the
patient's cornea.
• Do not twist against or apply pressure to the incision.
CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient's eye!
Corneal burns caused by excessive ultrasound energy.
• Use the lowest ultrasonic output power intensity,
compatible with the surgical application.
• To check the operation of the handpiece, do not
activate the ultrasounds with the phaco tip in the air.
The ultrasound power should be applied to the
handpiece with the tip inserted into a sterile test
chamber filled with balanced salt solution or into a
container with sterile liquid at room temperature. If
these instructions are not followed, it is possible to
damage the phaco tip and/or the phaco handpiece.
• Make sure that the handpiece is properly connected to
the R-Evo Smart appliance's irrigation/aspiration system
and is used only with the latter.
• High buzzing from the handpiece with minimal power
adjustment may indicate a malfunction of the power
adjustment circuit and result in corneal burns or
