Warnings, Cautions, and Other Residual Risks
• Do not use the system in the presence of any of the following as a fire can result:
 flammable anesthetics
 other flammable gases
 flammable fluids
 flammable objects
 oxidizing agents
• Ensure the patient does not have a cardiac pacemaker or other active implant as this unit
might interfere with any cardiac pacemaker; therefore obtain qualified advice prior to such
use.
• The patient must not come into contact with grounded metal parts or metal parts that have
appreciable capacitance to ground. JJSV recommends the use of an antistatic mat for this
purpose.
• Use proper handling and disposal methods for biohazards when you dispose of the tubing
pack, Mayo tray drape, and monitor drape.
• Ensure the tubing pack drain bag does not over-fill. The maximum capacity of the bag is
600 cc.
• Use caution when you extend, retract, or swivel the Mayo tray articulating arm. Stay clear
of the hinged hardware.
• Do not modify the pole height or manually force the pole height because this could cause
incorrect indication of bottle height and patient injury.
• Please note that when Cont. Irr. Auto-Off is enabled, a significantly large wound leakage
or air bubbles in the tubing lines may affect the feature.
• Bottles are the only irrigation source specified for use with the VERITAS Advanced Infusion
Tubing Pack. Using the VERITAS Advanced Infusion Tubing Pack with a bag as the
irrigation source could result in a lower irrigation pressure than what is reported by the
system.
• Operating 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.
• Place monitoring electrodes or other types of equipment as far from those of the VERITAS
Vision System as possible. JJSV recommends high current limiting devices for the
protection of such systems. Do not use needle monitoring electrodes.
• Keep the diathermy cord away from the patient and other handpieces or leads (for
example, monitoring electrodes). Keep unused ACTIVE ELECTRODES away from the
patient.
• The output power selected must be as low as possible for the intended purpose.
