The VERITAS Vision System is a premium cataract system with the intended use of phaco fragmentation and removal of the crystalline lens during cataract surgery. The VERITAS Vision System features technological advancements in fluidics management and ergonomic improvements for the console, foot pedal, handpiece, and remote control.
Introduction Figure 1-1 — VERITAS Vision System (front) 1. Programmable IV Pole 3. Front Panel Connections (see Figure 4-1) 2. Tubing Pack inserted 4. Foot Loop for system repositioning Introduction Z370584 Rev. D...
Introduction The VERITAS Vision System consists of the following components: 1. Programmable IV Pole – supports hanging bottle or bag for fluid management 2. Tubing Pack – disposable to realize the fluid handling during irrigation / aspiration (see separate Instructions for Use) 3.
NOTE: Provides background information to clarify a particular step or procedure. Intended Use / Indications The VERITAS Vision System is a modular ophthalmic microsurgical system that facilitates anterior segment (cataract) surgery. The modular design allows the users to configure the system to meet their surgical requirements.
Introduction Clinical Benefits Clinical benefits of the VERITAS Vision System include the following: • Rapid visual rehabilitation • Early resumption of daily activities • Minimal ocular inflammation • Minimal postoperative astigmatism • Reduced potential for ocular complications Performance Characteristics •...
The solid wheel base and locking wheels make the console stable and smooth rolling. An adjustable height Mayo tray accommodates the handpieces and tubing. The VERITAS Remote Control uses standard commercially available AA batteries for easy replacement. The foot pedal can be stored on a hanging hook when not in use.

The up and down arrows on the touchscreen or the wireless VERITAS Remote Control raises or lowers the irrigation source that contains the bottled balanced salt solution, while maintaining the sterility within the operating field. A separate up and down switch allows IV pole adjustment from the side of the system.
30 cm to the programmed IV Pole height due to pressurizing the irrigation source. VERITAS Vision System Operating Modes The design of the system provides all the operating modes and surgical capabilities that the anterior segment surgeon or the cataract surgeon requires. These capabilities include: Phacoemulsification (Phaco) You use the phacoemulsification mode to break up (emulsify) the nucleus of the lens.
The foot pedal controls the various operating modes of the instrument. You can program the foot pedal settings through the user interface. You can use either the VERITAS Foot Pedal, Single Linear Foot Pedal, Advanced Control Pedal, or the Advanced Linear Pedal with the system.
ELLIPS FX Handpiece The ELLIPS FX phaco handpiece is available for use with the VERITAS Vision System. The ELLIPS FX handpiece provides both longitudinal and transversal movement. You can use the handpiece with a straight tip or a curved tip.
Page 21
Introduction The WHITESTAR ICE Technology was the next advance in micropulse phacoemulsification technology. This technology combined modulated ultrasonic power (pulse shaping) with vacuum control through the use of the Chamber Stabilization Environment (CASE). This pulse shaping technology modified the standard “square” wave pulse, by increasing the amplitude of the first millisecond of the on time “kick”.

Program Settings Phaco Power Settings • Continuous • Pulse Mode • Short Pulse • Long Pulse • Low Power Pulse • High Power Pulse • Single Burst (panel only) • Multiple Burst (panel only) • Continuous Burst From the Phaco Settings screen, tap to display the Phaco Power selection.
Program Settings Continuous Phaco Power Continuous phaco power delivers continuous, uninterrupted phaco power to the handpiece and requires no pulse rate setting. Pulse Mode Pulse Mode delivers phaco in pulses of 1 to 100 ms when the foot pedal is in position 3. You can set this in a range of 1 to 100 pulses per second (pps).
Program Settings High Power Pulse Phaco Power High Power Pulse generates continuous phaco power in foot pedal position 3. When you press the foot pedal, the continuous pulse changes into long pulses and then gradually changes to short pulses. Single Burst Phaco Power (Panel Only) Single Burst delivers a single burst of ultrasonic power of 110 ms duration when you press the foot pedal to position 3.

Program Settings WHITESTAR ICE Technology (Pulse Shaping) The WHITESTAR ICE Technology was the next micro-pulse advance in phacoemulsification technology, which combined modulated ultrasonic power (pulse shaping) with vacuum control through the application of the Chamber Stabilization Environment (CASE). This pulse shaping technology modifies the standard square wave pulse, by increasing the amplitude of the two milliseconds of the on time “kick”, and then setting the remaining part of the on time to the standard power setting.
Page 148
Program Settings Figure 6-16 — Pulse Shaping Screen There are four settings for WHITESTAR ICE Pulse Shaping: • Low Power Limit • High Power Limit • Percent Kick Low End of Range • Percent Kick High End of Range The Low Power Limit and High Power Limit settings define the range of the applied pulse shaping.
Program Settings FUSION Fluidics Phaco FUSION Fluidics Phaco is an intelligent vacuum monitoring system that regulates the maximum allowable vacuum that follows an occlusion of the phaco tip. When the phaco tip becomes occluded, the vacuum rises. Clearing of the occlusion while the vacuum is at a high-level can cause a post-occlusion surge.
Program Settings Figure 6-18 — Phaco Surgical Screen with Occlusion and CASE On Occlusion Mode Settings With Occlusion Mode, you can set different aspiration rates for occluded aspiration as opposed to unoccluded aspiration. You can set a different vacuum rise time for when the phaco tip occludes without changing the aspiration rate through an unoccluded tip.

WHITESTAR Technology without Pulse Shaping To adjust the occluded power delivery: NOTE: Nonzero start parameters are the same for unoccluded and occluded settings. When the current value reaches the occlusion threshold then the system uses the occlusion settings.
Program Settings Venting an Occlusion As discussed earlier in this chapter, vacuum builds when the aspiration tip is blocked or occluded by tissue or other material. The fluidics system relieves vacuum in the aspiration line when the foot pedal traverses from position 2 to position 1. The fluidics system applies variable venting pressure of Low, Medium, or High to the aspiration line as selected in the surgeon settings to release the material at the aspiration tip when the foot pedal is released to position 0.

Program Settings Figure 6-23 — FUSION Settings Screen 3. On the FUSION screen, tap the On button to turn CASE mode on. NOTE: If the Venturi pump option is on, you cannot access the FUSION Fluidics screen. There is no Occlusion mode phaco or CASE mode with Venturi. 4.
Program Settings CASE One Touch To simplify the programming of the CASE function, you only need to define the basic CASE parameters once. You can adjust the CASE function quickly and easily from the CASE One Touch settings on the surgical screen. Use these controls to change the CASE functionality for greater efficiency (up arrow) or more control (down arrow) to suit any particular combination of cataract density, surgical technique, or personal preference.
