Warnings, Cautions, and Other Residual Risks
Prior to using any invasive portions of the handpiece assembly, examine under the
microscope for any obvious damage, oxidation, or the presence of foreign material. You
must note any questionable characteristics; use a backup handpiece for surgery. Use of
contaminated or damaged system accessories can cause patient injury.
Do not have the handpiece tip in the eye of the patient when you prime and tune the
handpiece.
Do not use non-JJSV approved products with the VERITAS Vision System, as this can
affect overall system performance. JJSV cannot be responsible for system surgical
performance if you use these products in surgery.
Use tips and sleeves that are designed to work together. Using improperly matching tip/
sleeve combinations can result in insufficient fluid flow.
Do not use the sleeves beyond their useful life. Using sleeves beyond their useful life can
result in insufficient fluid flow or debris in the eye.
Inspect batteries for damage before installation. Do not install damaged batteries.
Installing damaged batteries could result in a fire.
Avoid balanced salt solution free flow conditions. Balanced salt solution free flow can
result in a slip hazard.
The Advanced Infusion feature must only be used with bottles and is not to be used with
bags. Using the Advanced Infusion feature with a bag may result in lower than expected
irrigation pressure.
Do not use the ultrasonic tip beyond its specified useful life. Using the ultrasonic tip
beyond its specified useful life may result in:
exfoliation of the tip leaving debris in the eye
reduced cutting capability, which may increase time required for surgery
insufficient flow of fluid
The VERITAS Swivel handpiece is an inseparable assembly. The user must not attempt to
disassemble the swivel joint.
If the sterile packaging for a single-use accessory is damaged, notify JJSV. Do not use the
accessory as sterility cannot be assured.
All tubing packs are single-use. Reusing a single-use device can cause bodily fluids from
one patient to enter the eye of another patient. This can lead to medical conditions
including: Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome (TASS), Chemosis, Conjunctivitis Microbial,
Endophthalmitis, Infectious Keratitis, Anterior Uveitis, and Keratoconjunctivitis.
Do not charge the Foot Pedal in the patient environment. Do not come in contact with
patient when touching the device under charge.
When using Advanced Infusion, the effective bottle height cannot go below 30cm without
re-priming and selecting the Advanced Fluidics program.
