Air-Silicone oil tamponade (only R-Evo Smart CR)
WARNING Risk of injury due to excessive air pressure!
• An audible air leakage at start-up may indicate a
malfunction of the silicone section. Consult the OPTIKON
2000 S.p.A. Technical Service.
• To avoid possible eye infections, only use original
OPTIKON 2000 S.p.A. air tamponade tubes with an air
sterilisation filter.
• The use of a non-standard air-tamponade tubing kit
could compromise the accuracy of intraocular
pressure and alter the sterility of the injected air.
• During the injection of silicone oil, the intraocular
pressure is not controlled by the R-Evo Smart CR,
therefore the surgeon must take care of the intraocular
pressure control (IOP). It is important to check the flow
of silicone at the injection pressure set before inserting
the cannula into the eye.
• Release the pedal to stop the silicone oil injection. In
an emergency, the silicone oil infusion tubing can be
removed from the silicone supply unit.
