  • Page 33: Equipment Description

    ASPIRATION SYSTEM OPTIKON 2000 S.P.A. PULSAR surgical system delivers aspiration through the action of its dual pump system. The Surgeon can choose between a Peristaltic pump and a Venturi pump depending on the surgery needs and to his preferences.
  • Page 34 PULSAR Installation and Operating Manual OPTIKON 2000 performed with a “closed system”: a sterile membrane in the ACS3 cassette completely separates the vacuum sensor from the sterile fluids. The pumps in the PULSAR are controlled by a powerful microprocessor. Vacuum level can be panel preset or controlled by the surgeon via the system footswitch (linear mode).
  • Page 35 The TIP vibrates longitudinally at high velocity thus enabling a fragmentation of tissue very locally, around tip's contact surface. The OPTIKON 2000 S.P.A. titanium alloy tips can be re-used and have a long life. The internal energy loss processes of the piezo ceramic element leads to a warm up of piezo transducer during high frequency vibration work, therefore the aspirated fluid from the eye is also used for heat dissipating.
  • Page 36 PULSAR Installation and Operating Manual OPTIKON 2000 Pulsed phaco power causes the power to be pulsed at predetermined intervals when the footswitch is in position 3. Within the Pulsed Mode settings the surgeon can also select: • Short Pulse is available in linear or panel power. It generates pulses of U/S power.
