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. Chapter 6 through Chapter 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.

Getting Started This chapter is for people who have used this type of ophthalmic Vision Enhancement System before and want to use the system without reading large portions of the manual.
WARNING:
Implantable defibrillators present a risk of injury if triggered by a fibrillatory event during intraocular surgery, due to involuntary motion by the patient. Patients being considered for intraocular procedures must be questioned to determine if they have such a device and, if so, the defibrillator manufacturer must be consulted to determine the appropriate action.
WARNING:
Electromagnetic interaction between the phacoemulsification (phaco) handpiece and an implanted cardiac pacemaker is unlikely, but cannot be ruled out. Patients should be questioned to determine if they have such an implant and, if so, the manufacturer of the implant should be consulted to determine the proper course of action.
WARNING:
Patient not to come in contact with earthing metal parts.
WARNING:
Avoid skin-to-skin contact.
WARNING:
Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the equipment is connected to an equivalent receptacle marked “Hospital Only” or “Hospital Grade.”
WARNING:
To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with protective earth.
