Single Burst Phaco Power (Panel Only)
Single Burst delivers a single burst of ultrasonic power of 110 ms duration when
you press the foot pedal to position 3. You must return to foot pedal position 2,
pause for approximately one-half (0.5) second, and then press the foot pedal to
position 3 to obtain an additional burst of energy.
Multiple Burst Phaco Power (Panel Only)
Multiple Burst generates a burst of ultrasonic power of 110 ms duration, with
additional bursts deployed beginning at approximately 1 burst per second when you
press the foot pedal to position 3.
The frequency of burst increases as you press the foot pedal. At the maximum level
of foot pedal position 3, the delivered rate of the bursts are 4 bursts per second.
Continuous Burst Phaco Power
Continuous Burst can deliver an ultrasonic burst duration from 50 to 150 ms. As
you press the foot pedal through position 3, the bursts get closer together. At the
maximum level of foot pedal position 3, the bursts blend together, and the power
becomes continuous (at the preset power level). The default setting is 100 ms.
To set the Continuous Burst range:
1. Press the Continuous Burst button.
2. Press on the
On Time number. An On Time dialog box opens.
3. Press the up or down arrows to increase or decrease the burst rate from 50 to
150.
4. Press Finished to close the screen.
WHITESTAR
Technology
WHITESTAR Technology can be applied in any phaco power delivery mode.
This
advanced phacoemulsification power technology delivers finely modulated
pulses of energy interrupted by extremely brief cooling periods. This technology is
available in linear or panel mode. When the WHITESTAR delivery mode is
turned on, either or appears on the touch screen.
WHITESTAR duty cycles are expressed as pulse time on/pulse time off, to
achieve a desired duty cycle. For example, the duty cycle setting 6/12 means that
the pulse time on is 6 ms, and the pulse time off is 12 ms, that results in a 33% duty
cycle.
