1 • IntroductionWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370147 Rev. C 1108 1-2About this Manual This manual includes information about the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System which is designed for anterior segment (phacoemulsification) surgical procedures. This manual includes information regarding optional System enhancements. The availability of these features in your System configuration and availability in your area can be confirmed by your AMO representative.About Phacoemulsification Over thirty years ago, Dr. Charles Kelman conceived and developed phacoemulsification, a method of cataract removal using ultrasonic emulsification and aspiration of the cataractous lens through a small incision. Phacoemulsification is advantageous for both patient and surgeon:• Greater intraoperative control.• The smaller incision requires fewer or no sutures, poses less risk of infection and induced astigmatism, and gives better long-term and short-term predictability of vision.• Patients are able to resume normal activity much sooner and with fewer restrictions than with traditional cataract extraction surgeries.Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. (AMO) supports phacoemulsification with sophisticated instrumentation that optimizes the benefits of this surgical procedure.Intended Use The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ 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.This HIGH FREQUENCY (HF) SURGICAL EQUIPMENT is specified for use without a NEUTRAL ELECTRODE.WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Description & FeaturesThe WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System is a multi-functional tool for use in anterior segment surgery and procedures. The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System represents the latest generation of AMO® phacoemulsification technology. Safety, ease-of-use, and reliability are designed and manufactured into every WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System. The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System meets applicable United States and International safety requirements for this type of device.The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System contains a number of features based on extensive research and clinical trials with highly-trained and noted ophthalmologists who are experienced phacoemulsification surgeons.

1 • IntroductionWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370147 Rev. C 1108 1-3WHITESTAR® Technology The WHITESTAR® Technology represents the many enhancements to the power modulation for the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System. The WHITESTAR® Technology enhancement was the first to deliver finely modulated pulses of energy, interrupted by extremely brief cooling periods. This allows the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System to achieve full ultrasound cutting efficiency and magnetic followability, while introducing less energy into the eye. Ultrasound time is minimized or eliminated to reduce the risk of thermal damage.WHITESTAR® ICE TechnologyThe 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 modified the standard “square” wave pulse, by increasing the amplitude of the first millisecond of the On Time “kick”, and then setting the remaining part of the On Time to the standard power setting. This is repeated for each On Time period, resulting in increased control and efficiency in phacoemulsification.OCCLUSION MODE™ PhacoThe OCCLUSION MODE™ Phaco is used to regulate the vacuum rise time experiences following occlusion of the phaco tip, without limiting the choice of aspiration rate through an unoccluded needle. In order to independently control the aspiration rate and vacuum rise time, you can have a different aspiration rate when the needle is occluded than when the needle is not occluded.The OCCLUSION MODE™ Phaco is also used to regulate ultrasound power modulation. The power modulation of the phaco handpiece (continuous, pulse, burst) can be programmed to automatically change when the phaco tip changes from an unoccluded condition to an occluded condition. The FUSION™ Mode allows the user to access the settings and variables for both CASE and OCCLUSION MODE™ Phaco. The CASE and OCCLUSION MODE™ Phaco can be used together or independently.

1 • IntroductionWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370147 Rev. C 1108 1-4FUSION™ Fluidics System The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System has both a flow-based peristaltic pump system and a vacuum based Venturi pump system. The patented microprocessor-based system continuously monitors and controls intraocular conditions of the flow and vacuum in the eye.Chamber Stability Environmental (CASE)CASE is an intelligent vacuum monitoring system used to regulate the maximum allowable vacuum that is experienced following the 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 lead to a post-occlusion surge. With CASE enabled, the System monitors the actual vacuum levels and when the vacuum exceeds a specific threshold for a specified duration, the System automatically adjusts the maximum allowable vacuum setting to a lower predefined CASE maximum vacuum level. When the occlusion is cleared, the System is automatically restored to the original programmed maximum vacuum setting. This function makes it possible to have a different maximum vacuum setting when the needle is occluded than when the needle is not occluded.Accessories WHITESTAR® HandpieceThe Phaco Handpiece has been designed with a straight-through aspiration channel for more efficient removal of nuclear fragments, to minimize clogging and to facilitate cleaning. The hand piece is lightweight, slim, and well-balanced, making it comfortable to use and easy to manipulate.Ellips™ HandpieceAn Ellips™ phaco handpiece is available for use with the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System. The Ellips™ handpiece provides both longitudinal and transversal movement. The Ellips™ handpiece provides great followability and can be used with either a straight or a curved tip.FootpedalThe footpedal controls the various operating modes of the instrument, and all settings are programmed through the user interface. The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ Single Linear footpedal or the wireless Advanced Control Pedal (dual linear) can be used with the system. The footpedal design offers control through the use of increased linearity and uniform pressure throughout the footpedal movement, easing foot and leg fatigue. The degrees of movement for each footpedal position can be selected and saved in memory for each surgeon/mode, pitch for the single linear footpedal only and pitch and yaw for the Advanced Control Pedal giving the pedal dual linear functionality. Reflux is activated by programmable switches, giving immediate response. The footpedal is connected to the rear of the console by a cable or can be wireless as with the Advanced Control Pedal.

C 1108 1-5Wireless Remote Control (Optional)The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System can be controlled from the wireless remote control keypad. All modes can be remotely accessed, and all settings can be adjusted with the use of the wireless remote control, including full programming and priming capabilities. Backlighting supports low light operating room conditions.WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System ConsoleOperating Room teams contributed significantly to the successful design of the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Cart. The solid wheel base and locking wheels make the cart stable and smooth rolling. An adjustable height Mayo tray accommodates the handpieces and tubing. The remote control is wireless and recharges when the remote control is placed in the storage bay. An open bin and footpedal platform are available for storage.WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Display (Graphic User Interface-GUI)The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System graphic screen display is easy to read and easy to operate. You can see at a glance the status of the system. The screen gives you visual indication of operating modes, settings, and system status. Messages cue you through the procedure, and error messages indicate improper connections or selections. Help information is available from the touch screen controls. Prime/TuneBefore the start of each surgical case, the system requires Prime, Tune or Prime/Tune to be executed. The Prime mode incorporates the function of tubing purge, and fills and completes the fluid aspiration and vacuum check. The Tune mode incorporates the ultrasonic power calibration and safety check for the connected phaco handpiece. The Prime/Tune mode allows the system to prime and tune the handpiece at the same time.Dual PumpThe WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System provides a fluid aspiration system using either a peristaltic (flow-based) pump or a Venturi (vacuum-based) pump system. The surgeon can utilize the Venturi pump in the Phaco, IA, and Vitrectomy surgical modes.Continuous Irrigation Continuous Irrigation is immediately available via dedicated keys on the touch screen and the wireless remote control. Surgeon control of Continuous Irrigation with the footpedal is also available. Continuous Irrigation can be used to fill cups prior to Prime/Tune. The Cup Fill feature can be used in place of Continuous Irrigation when you fill a cup. The Cup Fill feature is only available from the Prime/Tune screen. (See Chapter 4 Equipment Operation, Prime/Tune for Detailed information.)

Up to 50 surgeon names with a maximum of 20 different setups, plus the AMO® default settings program can be stored in the instrument program memory. This allows different users to preset their preferences, or an individual user to select setups for different procedures, including a personalized initial operating mode.MMP – Multiple Mode ProgrammingMultiple submodes are available within the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System operating modes. This allows you to preset your settings for specific techniques such as phaco chop or viscoelastic removal.Programmable IV Pole The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System is equipped with a programmable IV pole. The programmable IV pole height settings can be entered independently for each of the PHACO modes plus settings for Diathermy, IA and Vitrectomy. During surgery, the programmable IV pole height changes to the preprogrammed height when you switch modes. The automated and programmable IV pole allows adjustment of the bottle height to provide gravity infusion through each procedural phase. Two adjustment keys on the touch screen or the wireless remote control are used to raise and lower the bottled balanced salt solution, while maintaining the sterility of the operating field. A separate up and down switch allows IV pole adjustment from the side of the system.WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Operating ModesThe WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System was designed to provide all the Operating Modes and surgical capabilities required by the anterior segment or cataract surgeon. These capabilities include:Diathermy (DIA)The Diathermy mode is used by most surgeons to coagulate blood vessels during the procedure and by some surgeons to “coag” the conjunctiva at the end of the procedure. An isolated output frequency allows non-contact tissue coagulation, eliminating adhesion and traction. Also, the depth of penetration of the energy field is less than that of lower frequency units, which minimizes tissue shrinkage or charring. The gentleness of the diathermy mode allows the surgeon to stop “bleeders” within the incision with only minimal scleral shrinkage.

1 • IntroductionWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370147 Rev. C 1108 1-7Phacoemulsification (PHACO)The Phacoemulsification mode is used to break up (emulsify) the nucleus of the lens and then allows the nucleus of the lens to be aspirated from the eye through a small incision. The continuous autotuning circuitry maximizes the emulsification efficiency for each lens density, even varying densities within the same lens. Phaco time is displayed in minutes and seconds. The convenient selection of linear or panel preset phaco power, in a variety of power delivery options (pulsed, burst, transversal), provides increased precision and control. The WHITESTAR® Technology allows you to safely remove all lens types through small incisions with single-mode, single-instrument convenience.The WHITESTAR® Technology is a patented software application proven to change the characteristics of phacoemulsification using little or no ultrasound. This is done by changing the thermal properties and improving control of the lens without reducing the cutting power or changing technique or efficiency.CASE One TouchThe One Touch button simplifies the programming of the CASE function and allows you to easily define the basic CASE settings once. The CASE function can then be adjusted quickly with the CASE One Touch settings on the surgical screens. When these controls are used, the CASE functionality can be changed to provide enhanced control or improved efficiency to suit any particular combination of cataract density, surgical technique or personal preferences.Irrigation/Aspiration (IA)The Irrigation and Aspiration mode allows for controlled aspiration of cortical material from the eye, while maintaining intraocular stability, by replacing the aspirated material with a balanced salt solution. A peristaltic pump provides a predictable and stable aspiration rate. Complete control is achieved with “Aspiration Rate” and “Vacuum”. Irrigation is gravity-fed. The gravity-fed mode is regulated by adjusting the height of the balanced salt solution bottle. This mode gives you flexible control of each case with independently adjustable vacuum level and flow rate settings. Vitrectomy (VIT)The Vitrectomy mode is used to remove vitreous from the eye during surgery. The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System uses air pressure to drive the vitreous cutter. The wide range of user-controlled, programmable cut rates supports both anterior segment and posterior segment surgeries.

3 • System SetupWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370147 Rev. C 1108 3-2Safety Precautions Now that the system is set up and you have verified that all of the functions are operating properly, you are almost ready to use your WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System.Read the following Safety Precautions and Warnings carefully before you use the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System in surgery.1. The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System is equipped with 3-prong power plug which must be plugged into an outlet with a ground receptacle.If the plug does not fit the outlet, contact an electrician. DO NOT modify or remove the ground pin.2. Do not use extension cords with your system.3. Do not overload your electrical receptacle (outlet).4. If the cord or plug is damaged, do not use the instrument. An electric shock or fire hazard can result. Call AMO customer service to order a new cord.5. The instrument has ventilation openings at the rear of the console to allow ambient air intake and the release of heat generated during operation. If the openings are blocked, heat build-up can cause system failures which can result in a fire hazard.6. Do not try to move the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System cart on deep pile carpets or over objects on the floor such as cables and power cords.7. Take care not to trip over power and footpedal cords.8. Do not try to lift the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System cart.9. Do not place the instrument on uneven or sloped surfaces.10. Do not use disposables, accessories or other surgical instruments that are not designed for this system. Use only parts recommended by AMO to achieve optimum performance and safety.11. Do not operate the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System in a condensing environment. Take care to protect the instrument from fluid sprays or fluid buildup.12. To protect the patient from contaminated fluids or handpieces, use only: • sterile tubing cassettes• sterile irrigation fluid• sterile handpieces13. Use caution when you extend, retract or swivel the Mayo stand articulating arm. Stay clear of the hinged hardware.14. Use caution when you use handpieces with sharp edges or pointed tips.

3 • System SetupWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370147 Rev. C 1108 3-315. Always replace the tubing cassette between cases.16. Wrap the excess power cord neatly around the cord wrap on the back of the console.Changing Irrigation FlowUse extreme caution when you lower or raise the balanced salt solution bottle to decrease or increase fluid flow and pressure. If you lower the bottle too much it can cause the anterior chamber to collapse. If you raise the bottle too high it can cause the anterior chamber to deepen. To make sure that the bottle height does not go too high, you can set the maximum bottle height on the Diagnostics screen.Note: Use a new bottle of balanced salt solution at the start of each case.Phacoemulsification without Adequate IrrigationOperating phacoemulsification without an adequate irrigation flow can result in an elevated temperature of the tip and subsequent damage to the eye tissue or could cause the chamber to collapse. Confirm that there is irrigation flow before you initiate phacoemulsification. A tight wound or the angle of the needle next to the wound can also constrict the irrigation flow by pinching the coaxial irrigation sleeve assembly on the needle of the phaco handpiece.Power Failure during SurgeryIf there is a loss of power during a procedure, you need to:• Withdraw the handpiece from the eye• Release the footpedal to Position 0When power is restored: • Select Prime/Tune to reprime the fluids and tune the phaco handpiece. Use Bypass to reduce the length of prime time.• Select the mode that was in use when power was lost (PHACO, IA, Vitrectomy or Diathermy)Connecting HandpiecesIt is very important that the electrical connectors on the handpieces are completely dry before they are connected to the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System receptacles. You can receive a “Handpiece Ground Fault Error” message if the connector is wet.Handling the Phaco HandpieceThe phaco handpiece is a very delicate instrument and must be handled with EXTREME care. If the handpiece is dropped or receives any other significant impact, the handpiece will not work properly. The ultrasonic titanium phaco tip must never touch any solid material while in use.Always flush the handpiece immediately following surgery.

3 • System SetupWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370147 Rev. C 1108 3-4See cleaning instructions given in Chapter 9, “Care and Cleaning”.Handpieces can be extremely hot immediately after sterilization. Use care and caution when handling.Phaco and Vitrectomy OperationThe phaco handpiece and the vitrectomy cutter must never be activated with the tips exposed to air. If the tips are activated in the air, the useful life of the handpiece and the cutter is reduced. If power is to be introduced to the phaco handpiece or the vitrectomy cutter, the tips must be in a test chamber filled with a balanced salt solution, in a container of balanced salt solution, or in the patient's eye.VitrectomyFailure to properly attach the tubing to the appropriate vacuum or pressure source can affect the vitrectomy cutter operation. Be sure to read the vitrectomy cutter package insert for correct assembly and connection procedures.DiathermyWhen you enter the Diathermy mode, an audible tone should be heard. Also, whenever diathermy power is applied, an audible tone should be heard.The diathermy cable must be checked periodically for damage. If the cable shows signs of damage, replace the cable immediately with the same type of cable. Use of other types of cables can affect the diathermy performance.During surgery, the diathermy output power must be as low as possible for the intended purpose. AMO recommends the 30% setting to start.The diathermy cable must be positioned in such a way that contact with the patient or other leads is avoided. Grounded or ungrounded metal parts must not come in contact with the patient when diathermy is used.For proper operation of the diathermy, replace the handpiece with the same type.Programmable IV PoleDo not exceed the maximum weight of two 500 ml balanced salt solution bottles on the IV pole bottle holder.

To turn on the Wireless Footpedal after you start up the system, touch the Wake-up button.RefluxReflux is the controlled backflow of fluid through the aspiration port of the handpiece. Reflux is used to gently release or dislodge unwanted material from the handpiece tip. Reflux can also be used to “tent” the incision site to allow easier tip insertion. Reflux pressure depends on bottle head pressure (IV pole height and gravity) for the FUSION™ Fluidics pack (OPO70), and as such, is not intended to clear a clogged handpiece. However, reflux can be used to identify a blockage.The reflux action can be programmed on any available footpedal switch. This causes fluid to be expelled from the aspiration line into or towards the eye. The reflux is active until the footpedal switch is released. The FUSION™ Fluidics pack (OPO70):• allows an inter-connection of the irrigation line to the aspiration line, so that sterile balanced salt solution can enter the aspiration line. • has no time restriction for Reflux as there is no pump reversalThe DP pack (OPO71):• includes support for the vacuum tank used in the Venturi vacuum system• does not support inter-connecting the irrigation line to the aspiration line. Therefore, only previously aspirated fluid is being refluxed.

C 1108 3-25Programmable IV Pole The Programmable IV Pole is controlled by the Up and Down arrows on the upper right of the touch screen, next to the bottle height indicator. The buttons on the remote control and the switch on the side of the console can also be used to control the IV Pole. These controls are used to raise and lower the pole, and the height is indicated in the Programmable IV Pole screen. The Programmable IV Pole moves at a rate of approximately 6 cm (2 inches) per second.The Programmable IV Pole is adjustable from 0 to 104 centimeters, and can be set for either inches or centimeters. The height measurement is relative to the distance from the irrigation valve to the center of the drip chamber. The Programmable IV Pole height for each fluidic mode or submode (PHACO, IA, VIT) is saved in the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System memory. A Maximum IV Pole height can be set on the Diagnostics screen. When a surgery mode is selected, the Programmable Power IV Pole automatically moves to the preset height. To manually adjust the IV pole height, use the Up and Down arrows on the touch screen. Manual adjustments to the IV pole can also be made by pressing the rocker switch located on the side of the console. If a maximum height has been set, the IV pole will not move above that height.

C 1108 4-7Figure 4.6 – Install Cassette ScreenPrime/Tune Prime/Tune is required before surgery is performed to fill the IA tubing with fluid, perform a vacuum check and to test and characterize the phaco handpiece. You must Prime and Tune:• before each procedure• anytime the handpiece is reconnected• after you have inserted or replaced a tubing cassetteContinuous Irrigation can be selected to allow fluid to free flow from the bottle in order to collect fluid. Note: Before you Prime and Tune, the Cup Fill feature can be used to fill cups. Use the Up and Down arrows to set the amount needed, either 30, 60 or 90 cc, to fill the cup and then press Start. The Cup Fill stops when the selected amount is dispensed or Stop is pressed. You can still use Continuous Irrigation to fill cups.IA Prime is designed for a procedure that does not require a phaco handpiece. Tune is designed for a quick tune of the phaco handpiece with an IA tubing set. Tune can be used if a phaco tip is replaced during a procedure.When you Bypass prime the overall fluidics prime sequence is shortened and the time to prime the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System is reduced. Bypass can be used if Continuous Irrigation has been used or the I/A tubing was primed. If the I/A tubing was not properly primed, errors can occur.To access the Prime/Tune routines, press the Prime/Tune button.

An irrigation supply is necessary to replace fluid removed by aspiration of cortical material and fluid lost to leakage from the incision.This fluid balance maintains the anterior chamber during surgery. Irrigation is controlled by gravity.The flow rate of irrigation solution through the irrigation sleeve on the phaco tip is determined by the height of the drip chamber (head pressure). The drip chamber hangs from the bottle on the Programmable IV Pole. AMO recommends that at the start of a procedure, the irrigation solution level in the drip chamber be located approximately 65–70 cm above the patient's eye level. To increase irrigation pressure, the IV bottle is raised. To decrease pressure, the bottle is lowered.

The phacoemulsification (phaco) handpiece provides ultrasonic energy, irrigation and aspiration simultaneously so that the lens material is extracted as it is emulsified. The phacoemulsification handpiece has a hollow needle that vibrates longitudinally at an ultrasonic frequency or a blend of longitudinal and transversal, if using the Ellips™. The rapid movement of the needle and the resulting cavitational energy disintegrates the cataract on contact. The debris is removed by suction through the hollow needle (aspiration). The resulting loss in volume of the anterior chamber is compensated by incoming balanced salt solution (irrigation).

When the applied Phaco Power is outside of these limits, no pulse shaping is applied.The Percent Kick settings determine the amplitude, or amount of Phaco Power “kick” that is applied in the first millisecond of Phaco Power application, either in the low end or the high end of the power range. As the Phaco power increases from the Low Power limit to the High Power Limit, the percentage of kick is interpolated for the power ranges in between the two limits.As an example, if a small kick setting is established for the Low End of the range and a large kick setting is established for the High End of the range, the kick percentage gradually increases as the Phaco Power increases. When the Percent Kick at the Low End is the same as the High End, then the kick remains constant throughout the Low to High range.

C 1108 5-15Fusion™ Fluidics Phaco Fusion™ Fluidics Phaco is an intelligent vacuum monitoring system used to regulate the maximum allowable vacuum that is experienced following 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. With CASE enabled, the System monitors the actual vacuum levels and when the vacuum exceeds a specific threshold for a specified duration, the System automatically adjusts the maximum allowable vacuum setting to a lower predefined CASE maximum vacuum level. When the occlusion is cleared, the System is automatically restored to the original programmed maximum vacuum setting. It is possible to have a different maximum vacuum setting when the needle is occluded than when the needle is not occluded.The power modulation of the phaco handpiece can be programmed to automatically change when the phaco tip changes from an unoccluded condition to an occluded condition.Figure 5.14 – Fusion™ Fluidics PhacoThe CASE screen shows the settings as a graph.

C 1108 5-28Aspiration RateThe Aspiration Flow Rate is the speed at which material is removed from the eye through the aspiration tubing. A pump provides the necessary aspiration flow to withdraw fluid and lens material from the eye chamber through the handpiece. With this aspiration flow system, the vacuum builds when the aspiration port is blocked or occluded. The vacuum reduces as the occlusion clears.You can adjust the rate in 1 cc increments from 0 to 60 cc per minute. You can also choose Panel or Linear flow. The flow rate decreases as the vacuum approaches maximum. To adjust the flow rate:1. On the Aspiration Rate control panel, press the Up or Down arrows to increase or decrease the aspiration rate from 0 to 60 cc per minute.2. Press the Settings button to select Linear or Panel aspiration flow. The Settings panel appears. 3. Press the Linear or Panel button. The Linear vacuum rate is linear with respect to the footpedal position. As the footpedal is pressed through Position 2, the vacuum level travels between 0 mmHg and the maximum preset level as occlusions at the aspiration port occur. The actual vacuum level is indicated by the vacuum progress shown on the screen.The Panel vacuum rate provides a continuous evacuation at the established vacuum rate. The vacuum builds only when the footpedal is in Position 2 and an occlusion in the aspiration port is created.4.

9 • Care and CleaningWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370147 Rev. C 1108 9-2Cleaning Procedures All previously used reusable items must be handled according to ANSI/AAMI ST79:2006 Comprehensive guide to steam sterilization and sterility assurance in health care facilities. Information about the reuse of any products can be found in the Directions for Use for the particular product. All single use items or items which have completed their recommended useful life must be disposed of in accordance with accepted hospital practices and procedures and local governing ordinances and recycling plans. These items can include, but are not limited to, waste materials, waste collection bags, tubing, infusion-sleeves and test chambers.Note: Inspect the Diathermy, Vitrectomy and Phaco handpiece cables for possible damage on a daily basis.Phaco HandpieceThe following cleaning procedures for the phaco handpieces must be implemented immediately after use. The straight-through design of the phaco handpiece makes cleaning easy and greatly reduces the likelihood of the handpiece clogging.However, to maximize the life of your instruments, you must clean the instruments immediately after use. Failure to properly clean the instrument can result in tissue buildup and dangerous cross-contamination. WARNING: Balanced salt solutions tarnish and pit metals, which causes the handpiece to deteriorate. Proper cleaning of the instruments prolongs their useful life. AMO recommends using sterile nonpyrogenic water to clean the handpieces and accessories. CAUTION: DO NOT STERILIZE THE HANDPIECES PRIOR TO PERFORMING THE CLEANING PROCEDURES DESCRIBED BELOW.The following cleaning procedure is to be performed at the end of each surgical case:1. With the tip cap sleeve and phaco tip still in place on the handpiece, inject 60 cc of sterile nonpyrogenic water through the irrigation tubing of the handpiece with a syringe. Remove the syringe and fill the syringe with air. Attach the syringe and flush the tube and handpiece with air.2. Inject 60 cc of sterile nonpyrogenic water through the aspiration tubing of the phaco handpiece. It is helpful to use a female to female connector to attach the syringe to the aspiration tubing. Remove the syringe and fill the syringe with air. Attach the syringe and flush the tube and handpiece with air.3. Carefully remove the phaco tip cap sleeve and phaco tip from the handpiece for disposal or to be sanitized and stored4. Inject sterile nonpyrogenic water into the test chamber with a syringe and then empty. Repeat this step three to four times.!!

9 • Care and CleaningWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370147 Rev. C 1108 9-35. Aspirate sterile nonpyrogenic water through the phaco tip into a syringe; this clears any debris from within the tip and prevents clogging of the suction port.6. Gently wipe the power cable of the handpiece with gauze soaked in distilled water. WARNING: Improper/inadequate cleaning may result in particulate matter adhering to the instrument and exfoliation of particles into the surgical field. In addition, the function and life expectancy of the phaco handpiece can become compromised. CAUTION: DO NOT CLEAN THE PHACO HANDPIECE WITH ANY TYPE OF ULTRASONIC CLEANING DEVICE; THE CLEANING DEVICE CAN DAMAGE THE PIEZOELECTRIC CRYSTALS.Irrigation/Aspiration Handpiece1. Back-flush the IA handpieces immediately at the end of the procedure.Use a 10cc syringe with sterile nonpyrogenic water and flush the water from the back of the handpiece through the tip. This process must be performed at least two times through both the irrigation and aspiration channels. Note: You can use other available AMO® products designed for this process (IA Cleaning Kit, AMO Part No. OM05510114).Figure 9.1 – I/A Handpiece Cleaning2. Make sure IA handpieces are dry when they are stored.Diathermy HandpieceClean the diathermy handpieces with the same procedures you use to clean other ophthalmic instruments.Note: Inspect the Diathermy, Vitrectomy and Phaco handpiece cables for possible damage on a daily basis.Vitrectomy CutterThe vitrectomy cutter is a disposable, single-use instrument.!!

9 • Care and CleaningWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370147 Rev. C 1108 9-4 Sterilization Procedures AMO recommends that you follow the sterilization procedures outlined in this section to maximize the life of your System instruments.All parts must be cleaned thoroughly prior to sterilization, and all sterilization equipment must be validated prior to use. CAUTION: DO NOT STERILIZE THE HANDPIECES PRIOR TO PERFORMING THE CLEANING PROCEDURES DESCRIBED EARLIER IN THIS SECTION.THE STORAGE CASES PROVIDED CANNOT BE PLACED IN AN AUTOCLAVE.The following sterilization techniques, times, and temperatures must be used in order to ensure consistent product performance:Gravity Displacement Sterilization – A type of sterilizer in which incoming steam displaces the residual air through a port or drain usually in or near the bottom of the sterilizer chamber. Typical operating temperatures are 121 to 123°C (250 to 254°F) and 132 to 135°C (270 to 275°F).Prevacuum Sterilization – A type of sterilizer which relies on one or more pressure and vacuum excursions at the beginning or end of the cycle.This method of operation usually results in shorter cycle times because of the rapid removal of air from the chamber and the load by the vacuum system, the usually higher operating temperature (132 to 135°C / 270 to 275°F; 141 to 144°C / 285 to 290°F), and the shorter exposure time for porous loads.Note: The cycle times require the product to be wrapped. In an emergency situation only Flash Sterilization in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST79:2006 Comprehensive guide to steam sterilization and sterility assurance in health care facilities can be used. The parameters for mixed porous and nonporous items must be used. CAUTION: GAS STERILIZATION IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Cooling is not necessary prior to reassembly; however, caution must be used to prevent burns. Follow the handpiece assembly instructions.!!

9 • Care and CleaningWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370147 Rev. C 1108 9-5 WARNING: Sterility assurance is the responsibility of the user. All non-sterile accessories must be sterilized prior to use. In addition, AMO recommends a terminal sterilization cycle in the autoclave after the final case of the day. This cycle must include a drying cycle to remove moisture from the tubing and handpieces for storage. Devices undergoing sterilization must be thoroughly cleaned to minimize bio-burden. Validation of the sterilization vessel and the sterilization cycle is the responsibility of the user.1. After sterilization, store the instruments in a safe, clean environment. Keep the instruments dry and free of dust. Make sure that the handpiece nose cone tips are adequately protected during storage.2. Do not wind the phaco handpiece cord too tight. Handle the cord as you would a fiber optic cable. Follow the natural curve of the cord and wind only as tight as the natural curve of the cord (approximately 6 inch coiled cord diameter). WARNING: Handle the phaco handpiece with extreme care. The piezoelectric crystal in the handpiece is very sensitive to shock. If the handpiece is dropped, it is possible that the handpiece might not function correctly. If this happens, contact AMO for repair information or replacement.WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Cleaning and Care1. Turn the power switch on the back of the System Off before you unplug the system from the wall outlet.2. At the end of the day, thoroughly wipe down the system, cart, power pole and footpedal using a cloth dampened with a germicidal detergent and sterile nonpyrogenic water. Be careful not to saturate any part of the system or the footpedal with liquid. Excessive liquid can damage the System electronics.3. Do not push or pull on the system components.4. AMO recommends that you leave the footpedal and power cords connected to the system to prevent loss and unnecessary wear on the electrical connectors. 5. Although the footpedal is water-resistant, make sure that the footpedal is kept as dry as possible.6. Place the Advanced Control Pedal (dual linear) in the storage recess at the bottom of the console so that the footpedal batteries can charge. You can attach the footpedal cable to the console to charge the batteries.7. Place the wireless remote control in the storage recess on the top of the console so that the Wireless Remote Control batteries can charge.!!

GlossaryWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370147 Rev. C 1108 Glossary-4Phacoemulsification / Phaco The term is abbreviated as Phaco. Phaco is a cataract extraction technique originally developed by Dr. Charles Kelman. To use this technique, a surgeon makes a small incision in the eye and emulsifies the cataract with the help of a vibrating needle inserted through the incision. The emulsified particles of the cataract are gently aspirated through the needle while the surgeon continues to irrigate the eye's chamber to maintain intraocular pressure (IOP).Pitch The vertical travel of the footpedal.Pneumatics Components and aspects of the system involving high and low pressure and vacuum.Post Occlusion Surge A result of rapidly changing pressures within the anterior chamber of the eye. The fluid surge is caused when the Phaco Tip is blocked during a procedure and is suddenly cleared. The surge can cause an imbalance of fluids leaving the eye and potential damage to the eye tissue.Power Boost Mode An operating mode in which the yaw movement of the Advanced Control Pedal (Dual Linear Footpedal) is utilized to provide a temporary increase (Boost) in phaco power.Primary Venting Mechanism A venting mechanism (valve, motor) selected by the host software as the preferred means of performing venting.Programming Mode (System Configuration) When the system is not Primed/and not Tuned Phaco, I/A, and Vitrectomy surgical modes are not available. However, the user can program and update surgical and system settings.Pump Ramp A characteristic of the peristaltic pump that determines the point at which the pump speed is decreased in order to maintain a manageable rate of vacuum rise.Pulse Shape A feature of WHITESTAR® Technology which allows the user to define a "kick" of increased power at the beginning of a WHITESTAR® pulse over a range of Phaco power settings.Reflux Fluid that is moved into/toward the eye via the aspiration port/line. The reverse flow within the aspiration line that can be used to release or dislodge unwanted material from the handpiece tip or to “tent” the incision site to allow easier tip insertion. Reflux is not intended to clear a clogged handpiece. However, reflux can be used to identify a blockage. Remote Control A user interface control for the GUI system through a wireless connection. The Remote Control commands are interpreted to control the GUI software.Safe State A state where the Phaco, Vitrectomy, Diathermy, and fluidics functions are disabled, with irrigation on and the fluid vented. The instrument the footpedal is disabled. As a result, all of the surgical modes become inoperable.Term Definition
