Preface Manual Concept
Manual Concept
Bausch & Lomb designs manuals to give you the information you need when you need it, and we don’t want you to have to search to find it. This manual is organized so that in the first chapter you will find enough information to quickly get up and running, and get answers to general questions about the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System. We have included plenty of pictures so you can grasp concepts quickly. Be sure to read Chapter 2 to become familiar with the Graphical User Interface and the Foot Control. These are your connections to operate the system. Chapter 3 describes information on how to customize the system to suit your particular needs. Chapter 4 has detailed information about each function and feature, how to set up the function and its associated disposables, and how to interact with each function. Chapter 5 provides cleaning and sterilization information. These chapters are meant to serve as a reference to questions of a more technical nature. Chapters 6 through 8 contain information that you may rarely need, such as unpacking, installing modules, system check-out, meanings of error messages, service information, and system specifications. Make sure that you read and follow all safety precautions set forth in this manual. Information presented in this manual relating to surgical procedures is a suggestion only, and does not constitute any warranty of fitness or claim of responsibility, or undertaking of liability resulting from any surgical techniques practiced. The physician is ultimately responsible for determining the appropriate procedure for each patient.
Note: The user interface screens displayed in this manual copy may appear different than what is on your system depending on the configuration. While the information is the same, the depiction may change. The illustrations should not be used in place of the instructions in the manual.

Ultrasound Function (Phacoemulsification)
WARNING: Manufacturers of implantable defibrillators recommend that these devices be temporarily disabled when using phacoemulsification or systems on patients with these implants. This is especially important when using pulsed phaco modes of operation. Although the implanted devices are designed to reject electromagnetic interference, and Bausch & Lomb Vision Enhancement equipment is designed to minimize such interference, a chance interaction cannot be ruled out. Patients should be questioned to determine if they have such an implant and, if so, the manufacturer should be consulted to determine the proper course of action. The second port is for ultrasound handpieces. These support phacoemulsification procedures in continuous, pulsed, and burst modes.
Coagulation The third port is for a coagulation handpiece which provides coagulation power in either Fixed or Linear modes. See page 4-23 for details of use and page 9-14 for technical specifications.
Foot Control The Foot Control contains the Footpedal and four programmable buttons, and provides the main interface between the user and the vision enhancement system for controlling most functions. The Foot Control can be used in a wired or wireless mode. Specifications are in Chapter 9. See page 2-17 for detailed instructions for its use.
Fluidics Function Each Stellaris Vision Enhancement System has one fluidics module, either an Advanced Flow or Advanced Vacuum system. Each fluidics module contains a port for a standard pneumatic vitrectomy cutter.
Advanced Flow Function This function uses a peristaltic-based pump to provide flow from 1 ml/min to 60 ml/min, and vacuum levels from 0 to 650 mm Hg. The corresponding pack has both irrigation and aspiration tubing and a 500 ml fluid collection bag which fits in a drawer on the front of the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System. Irrigation on/off control is provided by an internal pinch valve. Pneumatic vitrectomy supports both a Linear Cut Rate and a Fixed Cut Rate from 0 to 800 cpm. See page 4-14 for details and Chapter 9 for technical specifications.
Advanced Vacuum Function This function uses a vacuum-based pump to control the output vacuum range from 0 to 600 mmHg, and uses a rigid 300 ml collection cassette with irrigation and aspiration tubing. Pneumatic vitrectomy supports both a Linear Cut Rate and a Fixed Cut Rate from 0 to 800 cpm. See page 4-7 for details and Chapter 9 for technical specifications.
Air Compressor The compressor module provides vacuum for aspiration in Advanced Vacuum systems, and air pressure to drive various pinch valves. See Chapter 9 for technical specifications.
