WHITESTAR SIGNATURE System 3 • System SetupRx Only – NGP Z370165 Rev. A 1209 3-2Safety Precautions Now that you have set the system up and you have verified that all 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 comes equipped with 3-prong power plug which you must plug 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 there is damage to the cord or the plug, do not use the instrument. A damaged cable can cause an electric shock to the user or a fire hazard to the System. 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. Do not block the openings; as 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. Only use disposables, accessories, or other surgical instruments designed for this system. For optimum performance of the System and safety, use only parts recommended by AMO.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 packs• 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.
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE System 3 • System SetupRx Only – NGP Z370165 Rev. A 1209 3-315. Always replace the tubing pack 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 fluid flow or increase fluid flow, and fluid 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. Pinching the coaxial irrigation sleeve assembly on the needle of the phaco handpiece causes the constriction.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 the system lost power (PHACO, IA, Vitrectomy, or Diathermy)Connecting HandpiecesIt is very important that the electrical connectors on the handpieces are completely dry before you connect the handpiece 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 you must handle the handpiece with EXTREME care. If you drop the handpiece or the handpiece 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.
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE System 3 • System SetupRx Only – NGP Z370165 Rev. A 1209 3-4Always clear the handpiece of fluid immediately following surgery.See cleaning instructions in Chapter 9, “Care and Cleaning”.Handpieces can be extremely hot immediately after sterilization. Use care and caution when handling.Phaco and Vitrectomy OperationDo not activate the phaco handpiece and the vitrectomy cutter with the tips exposed to air. Do not activate the tips in the air, as this reduces the useful life of the handpiece and the cutter. When you introduce power 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 source or pressure source can affect the vitrectomy cutter operation. Be sure to read the vitrectomy cutter package insert for the correct assembly procedures and connection procedures.DiathermyWhen you select the Diathermy mode, you hear an audible tone. Also, you will hear an audible tone when you apply diathermy power.You must check the diathermy cable 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.You must position the diathermy cable in such a way that the cable avoids contact with the patient or other leads. When you use diathermy, grounded or ungrounded metal parts must not come in contact with the patient.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.

Vitrectomy requires the following components: • IA Tubing (from FUSION Tubing Pack)• Vitrectomy Cutter• Vitrectomy Infusion Sleeve, or a 23 Gauge Limbal Infusion Needle, if desired.
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE System 3 • System SetupRx Only – NGP Z370165 Rev. A 1209 3-212. Use the instructions provided with the vitrectomy cutter to assemble the handpiece.Figure 3.10 – Vitrectomy Cutter3. Attach the connector end of the vitrectomy cord to the vitrectomy receptacle on the front panel. Pre-Operative SterilizationPrior to each surgical case, sterilize the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE System instruments identified in Chapter 9, “Care and Cleaning” Instrument Sterilization Procedures. The recommended sterilization techniques, times and temperatures are given in Chapter 9, “Care and Cleaning”. AMO recommends that you follow the sterilization guidelines to maximize the life of your WHITESTAR SIGNATURE System instruments.Footpedal The footpedal controls all of the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE System functions, therefore, it is essential that you understand the footpedal operation.The System software automatically detects if a footpedal and what type of footpedal is connected during power up.The footpedal settings and adjustments can be selected and preset for the footpedal in the Configuration screen. Instructions for the footpedal settings are given in Chapter 5, “Anterior Segment Surgery Operating Modes”. The footpedal housing incorporates a handle, making the footpedal easy to grip for repositioning and storage.The Footpedal cable attaches to the footpedal connector on the rear of the console. Note: You must NEVER handle the footpedal by the cable.

A 1209 3-22Figure 3.11 – Footpedal - Single LinearFigure 3.12 – Footpedal - Advanced Control Pedal (Dual Linear)Footpedal OperationThe footpedal has three active “PITCH” ranges, which are referred to as Positions 1, 2 and 3. Position 0 is the Off position, and Position 3 is the fully pressed position. The ranges are shown below. The Advanced Control Pedal has two Yaw switches.
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE System 3 • System SetupRx Only – NGP Z370165 Rev. A 1209 3-23Figure 3.13 – Footpedal “Pitch” and “Yaw” 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”.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. 1. Pitch 2. YawToe Down/Up Toe Right/LeftConfigurable Ranges Configurable Ranges
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE System 3 • System SetupRx Only – NGP Z370165 Rev. A 1209 3-24Programmable IV PoleThe 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.
