Figure 5.13 – Pulse Shaping Screen
There are four settings for WHITESTAR
®
ICE Pulse Shaping:
• Low Power Limit
•High Power Limit
• Percent Kick Low End of Range
• Percent Kick High End of Range
The Low and High Power Limit settings define the range over which pulse shaping
is applied. 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.
