3 • System SetupWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370101 Rev. 05 0807 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 plugs 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 machine.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. Keep power and footpedal cords away from the surgical area.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 – Z370101 Rev. 05 0807 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 IrrigationUse 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 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 0• When power is restored, select Prime/Tune to reprime the fluids or use Bypass• Select the mode you were using (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 received 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.See cleaning instructions given in Chapter 9, “Care and Cleaning”.Handpieces can be extremely hot immediately after sterilization. Use care and caution when handling.

3 • System SetupWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370101 Rev. 05 0807 3-4Phaco and Vitrectomy OperationThe phaco handpiece and 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 cutter is reduced. If power is to be introduced to the phaco handpiece or 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 Power IV PoleDo not exceed the maximum weight of two 500 ml balanced salt solution bottles on the IV pole bottle holder.

Position 0 is the Off position, and Position 3 is the fully pressed position. The ranges are shown below.Figure 3.12 - Footpedal “Pitch” PositionsThe footpedal position determines the function that is delivered by the handpiece, which depends on the mode selected on the touch screen. When the footpedal has been connected, place your foot on the pedal and press to the desired position. The footpedal settings and programming are addressed in Chapter 5, “Anterior Segment Surgery Operating Modes”.

3 • System SetupWHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Rx Only – Z370101 Rev. 05 0807 3-22RefluxReflux is the reversal of aspirated fluid flow to assist in the release of unwanted material. The reflux pinch valve opens the aspiration tubing to the positive bottle head pressure (dependent on IV pole height and gravity) and causes fluid to flow toward the handpiece. Reflux stays on until the reflux pinch valve is closed. Reflux must not be used to clear clogged handpieces but reflux can be used to identify a blockage. The Reflux action can be programmed on any available footpedal switch. WARNING: Reflux is a user selectable switch option. In the event of captured tissue and vacuum present, deactivation of reflux requires the user to release the footpedal to position 1 to open the vent valve.Programmable Power IV PoleThe Programmable Power IV Pole is controlled by the Up and Down arrows on the upper right of the touch screen, next to the bottle height indicator. These controls are used to raise and lower the pole, and the height is indicated in the Programmable Power IV Pole screen. The Programmable Power IV Pole moves at a rate of approximately 6 cm (2 inches) per second.The Programmable Power IV Pole is adjustable from 0 to 107 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 Power 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.Wireless Remote Control (Optional)The wireless remote control keypad can be used to operate the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System.
