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 Power Limit and High Power Limit settings define the range of the applied pulse
shaping. When the applied phaco power is outside these limits, there is no pulse shaping.
The Percent Kick settings determine the amplitude, or amount of the applied phaco power
“kick” in the two milliseconds of phaco power, 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 interpolates for the power ranges in between the two limits.
As an example, if you establish small a kick setting for the low end of the range and establish
a large kick setting 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.
