Pre-Operative Sterilization
The Instrument Sterilization Procedures in Chapter 9, “Care and Cleaning” identify
the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System instruments that must be sterilized prior
to each surgical case. 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.
The Advanced Control Pedal (dual linear) can also be setup with a wireless
connection.
Note: You must NEVER handle the footpedal by the cable.
WARNING: Use only NiMH type batteries in the wireless Advanced
Control Pedal.
