4.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE
R-Evo Smart systems offer the modules and surgical functions described below:
Irrigation system
R-EVO SMART surgical systems have both gravity irrigation
and controlled irrigation.
Irrigation by gravity
When irrigation is fed by gravity, the flow rate of the
liquid and the irrigation pressure are determined by the
level of height at which the infusion source is located.
The R-EVO SMART controls an automatic motorised
infusion pole that can be located to accommodate the
height of the irrigation container.
CAUTION Risk of injury to the patient's eye!
Use the higher hook to suspend balanced salt solution
bottle for anterior segment surgery.
Use the lower hook for posterior segment surgery.
Use the lower hook when performing Controlled irrigation.
CONTROLLED IRRIGATION
If the "Controlled Irrigation" function is used, the irrigation
pressure is automatically set by the R-EVO SMART. This
system offers several advantages for controlling irrigation
pressure compared to the gravity irrigation system, such as
dynamic intraocular pressure control with compensation
for fluctuations due to aspiration flow, both in cataract
and retinal surgery. To use controlled irrigation, you must
have the controlled irrigation bag or drip chamber for
controlled irrigation. These optional accessories are
provided by OPTIKON 2000 S.p.A. A valve is used for sterile
control of the On/Off status of irrigation by means of the
foot switch or by means of a soft key in the graphical user
interface.
Always use the lower IVP hook when performing Controlled
irrigation.
Aspiration system
The R-EVO SMART S and R-Evo Smart CR surgical systems
have an aspiration function created by a two-pump system.
