THE CONSTELLATION CASSETTE
The cassette is the interface between the Constellation® console and the surgical
handpiece. It is used to regulate BSS® irrigating fluid to the handpiece, aspirate debris
from the handpiece, monitor irrigation and aspiration pressure, and deposit the debris
in a sealed drainage bag for disposal.
The premium combined cassette shown in Figure 2-84 is a consumable assembly
capable of providing all the functions needed to perform anterior, posterior, and
combined surgeries. It provides fluid aspiration and pressurized fluid (or filtered
air) infusion to the eye at a constant IOP independent of aspiration flow rates during
posterior segment surgery. The infusion fluid source to the cassette can be changed
during a procedure without interruption or re-priming the tubing connecting the
cassette and the infusion cannula.
Specialized cassettes for posterior and anterior procedures are available and have only
those ports necessary to perform the associated procedure. See Consumbable Pak
Configurations for detailed information on the type of cassette contained in each pak.

SECTION THREE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
This section details the recommended setup and operation for the Constellation® Vision
System. These procedures may be modified to conform to hospital requirements and practices
as you become experienced in using the system. The operational checks however, that are
performed at various points in the setup procedure to verify instrument operation, must be
performed exactly as indicated.
The procedures are divided into two columns and presume a surgical team of three people:
Surgeon and Scrub Nurse in the sterile field, and a Circulating Nurse in the non-sterile field.
In the left column a directive is given; in the right column the responsible team member is
identified.
Any problems pertaining to setup and check-out procedures should first be directed to the
Troubleshooting section of this manual. If questions still exist, contact the Alcon Technical
Services Department or your local Alcon representative.
POWER UP SEQUENCE
When the power switch is turned on, and the standby switch is pressed, the
Constellation® Vision System logo screen appears while the system performs its
self-test diagnostics. The system is capable of detecting and reporting a wide range of
fault and error conditions. Many of these are checked during the power up procedure.
If a fault is detected during power up, the user is informed and the instrument
becomes non-operational until the failure/problem is corrected. Upon successful
completion of the self-tests, the system enters the setup screen.

STERILIZATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please consult the accompanying Directions For Use (DFU) for cleaning and sterilization
instructions for Alcon approved reusable accessories. The DFU will provide the recommended
time and temperature guidelines for steam autoclave cycles performed by Alcon, Inc. The sterility
assurance level achieved with these parameters must be validated by each surgical facility.
Please refer to Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) Standards or
your facility’s standard procedures for the most current specifications.
Additionally, per the Sterilizer Equipment Manual, the sterilizer reservoir is to be filled with distilled
or deionized water.
NOTE: The reusable items will withstand steam autoclave cycles at 134° C (273°F). Due to
the variations found in steam autoclaves and the variable bioburden on devices
in clinical use, it is not possible for Alcon to provide specific parameters to ensure
an adequate sterility assurance level. Validation of the individual autoclave, and

TROUBLESHOOTING
Table 5-1 is a general troubleshooting guide that addresses symptoms/observations
and what the operator can do to try and solve the observed problem. Figure 5-5 and
Table 5-2 are presented as aids to rapid location of failed or malfunctioning parts
or components in the Constellation® Vision System; they are not meant to replace
standard troubleshooting methods. In all cases, should the corrective actions not
provide the desired result, call your Alcon Technical Services Department.
Equipment Malfunction
The system communicates equipment information and malfunctions through the
display of Information Messages, Advisories, System Errors, and System Faults
based on the level of severity.
The presentation of errors is priority based, with System Faults being the highest
followed by System Errors, Advisory Messages, and Information Messages. Since
it is possible for the system to generate multiple simultaneous error conditions, the
errors are queued according to their priority. In the event of multiple error conditions
within the same category, the most recent error is displayed.
System Fault Messages
System Faults are displayed full screen as shown in Figure 5-1. System Faults require
complete system shutdown and the system performs the following actions when a
fault is detected:
Place Sub-Systems into a safe state.
Display fault message screen.
Activate an error tone.
Ignore any input from all the keys and the footswitch.
The user must cycle power to reset the system.
