and twelve of this manual. If an error message is displayed on the front panel, refer to
troubleshooting instructions in section sixteen of this Manual. If a problem persists,
DO NOT PROCEED. Contact your local Alcon Surgical Service Representative.
NOTE: If an inconsistency exists between the setup instructions in this manual and
the Directions For Use (DFU) supplied with a consumable pak, follow the DFU.
Vitreous Probes
Do not operate vitreous probes in air. This could result in performance degradation
and/or potential hazard.
MPC Scissors
WARNINGS!
Use of a MPC scissors handpiece at high cut rates continuously for over 2.5
minutes can result in excessive handpiece heating. Allow the scissors to cool for
approximately 30 minutes between heavy usage of this type.
The MPC scissors output is floating with respect to grounded metal front panel
surfaces. Water, BSS Plus®, or any other conductive liquid on, or in the vicinity of,
the MPC socket can short out the floating output. Ensure that the MPC front panel
socket is dry and clean prior to using the MPC scissors.
Ultrasonic Handpieces
Power loss may occur if handpiece tip is not securely tightened into Fragmatome™*
and Phaco handpieces.
WARNING!
Use of a Phaco handpiece at power settings greater than 80% continuously for
over 4 minutes can result in ultrasonic system failure. Allow the system to cool for
8 minutes between heavy usage of this type.
If proper cleaning procedures are not performed immediately after each surgical
procedure, tissue debris and salts from irrigating solution may collect. This could
permanently damage the handpiece and could jeopardize cleanliness and/or create
biohazard conditions for the patient. Remove all debris prior to autoclaving handpiece.
CAUTION
Never ultrasonically clean the Fragmatome™* and Phaco handpieces; irrepa-
rable damage will result.
WARNINGS!
Use of the phaco handpiece in the absence of irrigation flow and/or in the presence
of reduced or lost aspiration flow can cause excessive heating and potential corneal
and/or scleral burns.
Use of the Fragmatome™* handpiece in the absence of aspiration flow can cause
excessive heating and potential scleral burns.

Accurus®
Handpiece Tips
Scissors, frag, and phaco handpiece tips must be fully tightened to their handpieces. If
not secured properly, the handpieces may not operate correctly. Ensure, however, that
tips are not so tight that they cannot be removed after use. Use only Alcon supplied
fragmentation tip wrenches; otherwise, damage to tips and/or handpiece may occur.
WARNINGS!
For phaco surgery use only Alcon-certified Mackool** or Turbosonics®
MicroTip™* configurations (.9 mm). Alcon does not recommend the use of
standard Turbosonics® tips (1.0 mm or 1.1 mm) with the Accurus® system.
During any ultrasonic procedure, metal particles may result from inadvertent
touching of the ultrasonic tip with a second instrument. Another potential
source of metal particles resulting from any ultrasonic handpiece may be the
result of ultrasonic energy causing micro abrasion of the ultrasonic tip.
Diathermy Function
To ensure safe operation of the Diathermy function, use only Alcon cables and
accessories. Diathermy performance can be guaranteed only when using Alcon
Surgical components or Alcon-endorsed components. Cables should always be
positioned in such a way that contact with the patient is prevented.
Interference produced by the operation of high-frequency surgical equipment may

adversely influence the operation of other electronic equipment.
Accessories should be checked regularly. Electrode cables, particularly, should be

checked for possible damage to the insulation.
See Figures 1-4 and 1-5 for diathermy power specifications.
WARNING!
• Do not use the diathermy function on patients with pacemakers or implanted
defibrillatory devices. If electrosurgery is used on patients with implanted cardiac
pacemakers or defibrillatory devices or pacemaker electrodes, be aware that
irreparable damage to the pacemaker or defibrillatory device and its function
may occur and lead to ventricular fibrillation. Please check with the pacemaker
or defibrillatory device manufacturers for their recommendations.
• Failure of the HF surgical equipment (diathermy circuitry) could result in an

unintended increase of output power.
8065750203
Accurus®
Listed below are general precautions to be followed when using the Diathermy function:
• To ensure safe operation of the Diathermy function, only approved cables and
accessories must be used (See your Alcon representative). Diathermy performance
can be guaranteed only when using Alcon components or Alcon-endorsed
components.
• To reduce the risk of accidental burns, caution should always be taken when
operating high-frequency surgical equipment.
• Interference produced by the operation of high-frequency surgical equipment may
adversely influence the operation of other electronic equipment.
• Accessories should be checked regularly; electrode cables should particularly be
checked for possible damage to the insulation.
• The lowest power level in Diathermy step should always be selected for the
intended purpose.
• Skin-to-skin contact (for example between the arms and body of the patient)
should be avoided, for example by insertion of dry gauze.
• When HF (high frequency) surgical equipment and physiological monitoring
equipment are used simultaneously on the same patient, any monitoring electrodes
should be placed as far as possible from the surgical electrodes. Needle monitoring
electrodes are not recommended.
• In all cases, monitoring systems incorporating high frequency current-limiting
devices are recommended.
• The cables to the surgical electrodes should be positioned in such a way that
contact with the patient or other leads is avoided.
• Temporarily unused active electrodes should be stored so that they are isolated
from the patient.
• The use of flammable anaesthetics or oxidizing gases such as nitrous oxide (N2O)
and oxygen should be avoided if a surgical procedure is carried out in the region of
the thorax or the head, unless these agents are sucked away.
• Non-flammable agents should be used for cleaning and disinfection wherever possible.
• Flammable agents used for cleaning or disinfecting, or as solvents of adhesives,
should be allowed to evaporate before the application of HF surgery. Some
materials, for example cotton, wool and gauze, when saturated with oxygen may
be ignited by sparks produced in normal use of the HF surgical equipment.

Illuminator Function
Housed inside the illuminator drawer are two bulbs that provide two channels of
illumination. Two front panel sockets accept fiber optic light guides to provide
intraocular illumination. To gain access for bulb replacement or servicing, follow
directions in section eleven of this manual. Be aware that using the illuminator at high
settings (HI 1, HI 2, or HI 3) will reduce the life of the bulbs.
WARNING!
The illuminator bulbs become extremely hot. Never handle a bulb until it has
cooled considerably from its operating temperature. Do not touch bulb directly
with fingers at any time.
1.12
Accurus®
Footswitch
Never pick up or move the footswitch by holding the cable. Damage may result.
Cassette
During initialization the drain pump is rotated to the home position; therefore, keep
hands and fingers clear of cassette well during power-on initialization. Manually
rotating the hub roller in the cassette well when power is on and a cassette is not
installed can cause incorrect cassette loading and/or can cause injury to fingers.
WARNINGS!
All fluids aspirated during surgery should be treated as biohazards. Take appropriate
precautions when handling instruments and lines in contact with aspirated fluids.
Drain bag volume should not exceed 500cc “Max. Capacity.” Exceeding this
volume may result in a biohazardous condition.
Consumables
Do not use consumable paks beyond the expiration date stamped on the outer
packaging. Sterile consumable medical devices should not be reused (Accreditation
Manual for Hospitals, 1982); they are intended for single use only. Improper usage
or assembly could result in a potential hazardous condition for the patient. Alcon
assumes no responsibility for complications that may arise as a result of the reuse or
improper usage of consumables.
The equipment used in conjunction with Alcon Accurus® consumables constitutes

a complete system. Use of consumables other than Alcon consumables may affect
system performance and create potential hazards, and if it is determined to have
contributed to the malfunction of the equipment under service contract, could result in
the voidance of the contract and/or invoicing at prevailing hourly rates.
WARNING!
Attach only Alcon supplied consumables to console and cassette luer fittings. Do
not connect consumables to the patient's intravenous connections.
In all cases, the instrument setup instructions contained in this manual, and all label
instructions in the package, should be thoroughly understood prior to using any of the
Accurus® Pak configurations.
Ensure that tubing is not occluded during any phase of operation.

Diathermy, Cautery, Coagulation
In the past, some of Alcon’s products have referred to the feature “Cautery” or
"Coagulation." The Accurus® system and this operator's manual use the word
“Diathermy” based on the following definitions:
• Diathermy ‑ introducing an electric field into a body part to produce heat.

• Cautery ‑ cutting and burning method associated with two hot wires passing a
current between them; cutting away skin; halting bleeding.
• Coagulation ‑ an isolated bipolar current supplied to conductors (e.g. forceps).
Current passes between these electrodes, halting bleeding.

SECTION TWO
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
THE ACCURUS® OPHTHALMIC SURGERY SYSTEM
The Accurus® Ophthalmic Surgical System is a multifunctional surgical tool for use in
anterior and posterior segment ophthalmic surgeries. Its capabilities include driving a
variety of probes and handpieces which provide the ability to cut vitreous and tissues,
emulsify the lens, illuminate the posterior segment of the eye, and apply diathermy to
stop bleeding. Vacuum is used to remove ocular matter from the eye, and is provided
by connecting tubing from the handpiece to a port on the fluidics cassette. Infusion or
irrigation capability is provided to replace fluid in the eye, and enters the eye either
directly via an infusion cannula or flows through a handpiece. The operator controls
console functions using the graphical user interface screen, front panel keys, wireless
remote, and footswitch. The Accurus® console is shown in Figure 2-1.
SURGICAL
Figure 2-1. THE ACCURUS® CONSOLE - The Accurus® console, shown here without accessories attached, houses
the mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic drive functions which power the connected accessories for
ophthalmic surgery. The controlling software and firmware reside inside the console, and overall system
coordination and hazard mitigation is centralized to the console. This illustration is representative of the
800CS, 600DS, 400VS, and 300VS models. The 200PS model is identical except the illuminator drawer
is removed.

FRONT PANEL COMPONENTS
The front panel of the Accurus® system is a multifunctional user interface that allows
user control of most system functions. The descriptions of the front panel components
are coded to match the illustration in Figure 2-2, which is a helpful reference while
learning the system's functions.
1. Global Functions
The global functions area of the system is located at the top-left portion of the
front panel. Global functions can be used any time and in any mode. Its three
major components are described below.
1A. Global Function Selection Keys

These five keys, located within the color LCD display, are used to select the
following functions (from top to bottom):
• Infusion/Irrigation pressure
• Fluid/Air Exchange pressure
• Diathermy power
• Two light sources for fiber optic illumination
1B. Global Function Up/Down Adjustment Buttons

The up/down adjustment buttons are located to the left of the global function
selection keys, and are used to adjust their associated global function values.
These buttons can be pressed quickly to change values one digit at a time, or
pressed and held to rapidly change the values.
1C. Global Function LED Displays

The five LED displays, located to the left of the adjustment buttons, display
current global function settings when a global function is on, or while a setting
is being adjusted.
The Diathermy global function is always enabled for footswitch activation, and
its LED readout is always lit; its icon key illuminates bright blue when activated.
2. Color LCD Display and Touch Screen

The color LCD display and touch screen is located in the upper-right section
of the front control panel. This graphic user interface displays icons, keys, and
readouts appropriate to the mode of operation and system status. The operator
presses the icons and keys on the screen to interact with the system.
3. Fluid Cassette with Aspiration and Irrigation Ports

Three types of cassettes are used with the Accurus® system, each with its own
assortment of male/female ports designed for connection of irrigation/infusion and
aspiration/extrusion tubing. For posterior there are two aspiration ports, for anterior
there are two irrigation ports and one aspiration port, and for combined anterior/
posterior there are three irrigation/infusion ports and two aspiration/extrusion ports.
Cassettes used with the Accurus® system convert vacuum generated by the
console into aspiration/extrusion, and collect the aspirated fluid into a small,
rigid, collection chamber. The collection chamber is continuously drained into
a sealed drain bag, hanging from the front of the cassette. The cassette's design
allows it to be removed from the console without spilling the collected fluids.

FOOTSWITCH
Functional operations to the Accurus® console are accepted from a footswitch. The
footswitch consists of a footpedal, left and right horizontal/vertical switches, and
left and right heel switches (see Figure 2-5). Functions controlled by the footswitch
are listed in tables located in sections three, seven, and eleven of this manual. Some
footswitch functions are programmable in the Options/Memory/Common/Footswitch
screen.
Generally, the footpedal is used to provide control of a parameter, such as vacuum,

with the footpedal's angle of depression proportional to the parameter output. In some
modes of operation the footpedal is used to provide on/off control of a function, with
any depression resulting in a fixed output of its parameter.
Right and left switches are used to enable and disable system functions. The switches
are nudged sideways (horizontal) for some functions, and pressed down (vertical) for
others.
A tension adjustment knob, located on the front of the footswitch, is used to regulate
the pressure needed to depress the footpedal. Additionally, the footpedal must be
pressed through detents to enter into new anterior and posterior mode positions. The
detent force levels are programmable in the Options/Memory/Common/Other screen
for phaco.

FRONT PANEL DISPLAY SCREENS

The operating screens described in this section are displayed on the front panel color
LCD display. The colors and their intensities are designed for easy viewing in both
light and dark environments.
Power Up Screen
The power-up initialization cycle lasts approximately two minutes. After the first ten
seconds of this cycle, the Power Up Screen is displayed while the system completes
initialization and self-test diagnostics (see Figure 2-7). All operator inputs are locked
out at this time. After self-test diagnostics the 200PS, 300VS, and 400VS systems
enter either the Posterior or Anterior domain of operation.
WARNING!
During initialization the drain pump is rotated to its home position. Therefore,
keep hands and fingers clear of cassette well during power-on initialization. After
initialization, do not manually turn hub roller. Finger pinch and/or improper cassette
installation can occur.
If a fault is detected during self-test diagnostics, a System Fault Screen is displayed

and the system becomes non-operational (see Figure 3-20).
Procedure Selection Screen
The 800CS and 600DS systems contain both Posterior and Anterior functionality, so
after the power-up initialization cycle one of the following can occur:
• The Procedure Selection Screen appears, allowing entry into either the Anterior,
Posterior, or the 800CS Combined domain (see Figure 2-8). The Procedure
Selection Screen also appears when the Exit key is pressed from a Surgery Setup
Screen.
• If startup preferences are programmed into doctor memory (Options/System), the

2. Memory (programmable doctor memories)

Pressing the Options/Memory key in the Options drop-down menu allows the user to
enter the Doctor Memory screen. The Options/Memory function is available from all
surgery and setup screens with the exception of the Irrigation/Infusion Settings screens.
The doctor memory function allows a doctor's preferential surgical parameter values to
be programmed, stored, and retrieved under a doctor name. Storage is provided for up
to 40 doctor names, each with five storage locations for Anterior parameters, five for
Posterior parameters, and one for Common parameters. The doctor memory function has
the following characteristics:
• The listing of available doctor names and memories is displayed by pressing their
associated drop-down keys. A doctor memory is retrieved when a new doctor name or
memory cell is selected in the “Retrieve From” box. The parameters of the retrieved
memory are displayed on the doctor memory screens. When a new doctor name is
selected, memory location one is retrieved.
• The name of the currently selected doctor and memory number or name are displayed
in all surgery and setup screens except the Irrigation/Infusion Settings screens. The
memory number or name is displayed in a different color when a value has been
changed from what is stored in that memory.
• A Personal Identification Number (PIN) can be added, which will then be required
when saving, editing, or deleting that doctor memory.
• The user is allowed to modify, remove, and add a PIN. The entry of the current PIN
is required for a modification or removal operation.
• The user is allowed to copy from one doctor memory (retrieve from) to another
doctor memory (save to).
• When the Exit key is pressed after a setting is changed, a popup is displayed to allow
the user to apply the settings in the memory screen to the system. This only happens
when changes are made to the memory screen.
• When leaving the Anterior, Posterior, or Common memory screen to go to another
memory screen after a parameter is changed, a popup is displayed to allow saving the
new settings.
• A different surgical state or domain cannot be entered from doctor memory screens.
Settings for both domains can be viewed, and memories can be altered, but the mode from
which doctor memory is entered is always the mode returned to when Exit is pressed.
• Parameter settings changed from what is currently stored in memory are displayed in
a different color.
• Pressing the Defaults key on a doctor memory screen resets all displayed settings
back to the factory default values. Pressing the Current key replaces all displayed
values with the current system values.
• Pressing the Save key in the Anterior or Posterior tab saves the domain's parameter
values to the doctor and memory number identified in the “Save To” box. Pressing the
Save key in the Common tab saves the doctor common parameters (the one per doctor
memory set) to the doctor identified in the "Save To" box. If this doctor memory is
protected by a PIN, a popup appears and the PIN must be entered before the save
operation is completed; otherwise, if the doctor memory is not protected by a PIN, a
confirmation popup appears to confirm the save operation.
• If a setting is changed, pressing the Exit key displays a popup asking the operator if
the new settings should be applied to the system. After answering, the system returns
to the mode from which doctor memory was entered.
• Settings may be Exported/Imported via a PCMCIA memory card.

Selections in Primary Functions Window
• Handpieces / Probes - Select for Prime / Test

Probes and handpieces are selected for priming or testing/tuning by pressing their
corresponding touch keys (see Figure 3-1). When a probe or handpiece is selected,
an LED illuminates next to its associated front panel connector. Selecting a probe or
handpiece with a common connector deselects the other.
When entering a surgery screen from the Vitreoretinal Surgery Setup screen, or upon
successful prime/tune/test, the mode of the currently tested handpiece is automatically
selected. If more than one probe or handpiece was tested, priority is given to Vit mode.
• Accessories
Pressing Diathermy, Scissors, VFC, VGFI-F/AX, or MPC illuminates an LED at its
corresponding front panel connector to identify where to plug in the handpiece or
accessory. Making one selection automatically deselects any other selection. Only the
last-selected accessory or handpiece LED illuminates.
Keys in Posterior Modes Window
• Test
When the Test key is pressed, the selected vitrectomy probe, Fragmatome™*
handpiece, and extrusion handpiece are primed sequentially, and a popup window
appears indicating that priming, testing, and tuning are active. Only the popup
Test window keys (Stop and Skip), global function Illuminator keys, and diathermy are
operable while the Test function is active. The surgery screen is entered automatically
upon a successful prime, test, and tune sequence.
If the Stop key is pressed during priming, the test function is aborted. If Skip is
pressed during priming, priming is skipped and handpiece testing/tuning begins.
An invalid error tone sounds when pressing the Test key with no probe or handpiece
selected. An advisory popup window appears when the Frag handpiece is selected but
not connected, when no cassette is inserted, or when priming/tuning has failed.
• Clean
Pressing the Clean key transfers fluid from the cassette into the drain bag. When
Clean is pressed, a popup window indicates cleaning is in progress. Only the Stop
key in the popup window, and global function Illuminator keys, are operable while
Clean the clean function is active. Pressing the Stop key during cleaning aborts the function.
If fluid is not fully transferred to the drain bag, press the Clean key a second time.
(There will always be some residual fluid left in the cassette due to surface tension.)
• Surgery
Surgery When the Surgery key is pressed, the system exits the Vitreoretinal Surgery Setup
screen and enters the selected surgery screen. If prime/tune is not finished, a popup
reminder appears.
•Settings
When the Settings key is pressed, the system exits the Vitreoretinal Surgery Setup
Settings screen and enters the Infusion Settings screen (see Figure 3-2).
3.2
Accurus®
Infusion Settings Screen
The Infusion Settings screen (see Figure 3-2) is entered by pressing the Settings key
on the Vitreoretinal Surgery Setup screen. In this posterior domain there are two data
tabs available on the screen: the Type tab and the Infusion tab. (The Irrigation tab is
not available and is grayed-out.) Pressing the Exit key closes this screen and returns
to the Vitreoretinal Surgery Setup screen.
• Type Tab
The infusion Type tab determines how infusion pressure is provided for surgery, and
is divided into three groups: Anterior Irrigation, Posterior Infusion, and Combined
Infusion/Irrigation. In this domain, only the Posterior Infusion group is available.
Figure 3-2 INFUSION SETTINGS SCREEN: TYPE TAB - The Type tab allows the user to select the
type of Posterior Infusion desired. Selecting the Infusion tab offers alternate infusion
and F/AX choices, shown in Figure 3-3.
The Type tab contains keys for the following irrigation methods: VGFI, Power Pole,
and Gravity. Pressing the Cancel key exits the Infusion Settings screen and returns to
the previous screen without any modifications taking effect. Pressing the Apply key
accepts the settings, exits the Infusion Settings screen, and returns to the previous screen.
When VGFI is selected, infusion pressure is provided by applying air pressure into
the fluid bottle. An internal air pump creates pressurized air, and VGFI™* tubing
delivers it to the bottle from a front panel connector. The air pressure setting is adjusted
with the infusion up/down buttons on the front panel; the corresponding LED readout is
immediately to the left of the buttons and indicates air pressure at the console. Note:
Fluid bottle should be positioned at patient eye level.
The Power Pole selection requires that the optional cart with power IV pole be
connected to the Accurus® system. With the fluid bottle hanging from the cart's power
IV pole, infusion pressure is set by pressing the global up/down keys to the desired
pressure, and the power pole automatically moves up or down to the required height.
When Gravity infusion is selected, infusion pressure is dependent on the fluid bottle
height, set manually by the operator.
8065750203
Accurus®
• Infusion Tab
The Alternate Infusion group contains a value for the alternate Pressure and a setting
for alternate pressure Available Yes/No. Alternate pressure works with VGFI™*
infusion and power pole infusion; therefore, when gravity infusion is selected, these
selections are grayed out and not functional. The Pressure value can be adjusted by
pressing the up/down arrows next to the value. The nominal and alternate pressures
are toggled by pressing the footswitch's right vertical switch.
The Alternate F/AX group contains a value for the alternate Pressure and a setting for
alternate pressure Available Yes/No. The Pressure value is adjusted by pressing the
up/down arrows next to the value. Selecting Yes or No determines whether alternate
pressure will be available with the footswitch.
The Alternate Infusion / F/AX group allows the user to select either Recall or Preset
alternate pressure values, giving the ability to select whether the alternate infusion
level will always go to the preset value, or recall the last-used alternate infusion level.
Figure 3-3 INFUSION SETTINGS SCREEN: INFUSION TAB - The Infusion tab allows the user to
select the type of Alternate Infusion and Alternate F/AX desired.

Accurus®
POSTERIOR GLOBAL FUNCTIONS KEYS
Global functions are available in all surgery and setup screens. There are five
global functions which, generally, can be selected, adjusted, and displayed at any
time. When a global function is selected its color icon and LED readout illuminate
brightly. (An exception is diathermy. Its LED readout is always lit, and its color icon
illuminates brightly when activated with the footswitch.)
A global function setting can be adjusted, even when the function is OFF, by pressing
its corresponding Up/Down arrow buttons. If the function is OFF, the LED readout
becomes dimly lit while making adjustments, then becomes blank after a few seconds
(except for diathermy as mentioned above).
• Infusion
Infusion pressure is delivered through one of three types: VGFI™* infusion, Power
Pole, or Gravity. Selection of infusion type is made in the Infusion Settings screen
(see Figures 3-2 and 3-3).
mmHg
When VGFI is selected in the Infusion Settings screen and activated by pressing its
global icon, the Accurus® system delivers filtered, pressurized air through a tubing set
into the infusion bottle, which in turn pressurizes fluid through tubing to the eye (F/
AX, if in use, is deselected). Up/Down arrow buttons are used to adjust fluid pressure,
displayed in mmHg or cmH2O.
The Power Pole selection uses gravity to pressurize fluid when the bottle is hanging
from the optional power IV pole. Infusion pressure can be set by pressing the global
function up/down adjustment buttons until the desired LED pressure readout is
displayed. The power IV pole automatically raises or lowers to the correct height, and
the LED pressure readout blinks as the pole is moving. Activation of MPC scissors, or
loading/unloading a cassette, will momentarily interrupt power IV pole movement.
When Gravity is selected in the Infusion Settings screen, the infusion icon fades,
and the Accurus® system does not provide infusion pressure; pressure is adjusted by
manually raising or lowering the infusion bottle.
• Fluid Air Exchange (F/AX)

F/AX provides filtered room air for fluid/air exchanges. The air is supplied through
tubing to the eye from a front panel pneumatic connector.
mmHg
When the F/AX function is selected, VGFI™* infusion, if in use, is deselected. The
Up/Down arrow buttons are used to adjust the pump pressure, displayed in mmHg or
cmH2O.
8065750203
Accurus®
• Diathermy
The Diathermy global function provides fixed diathermy capability through the use
of diathermy probes and handpieces. Diathermy output is available at all times,
% controlled by the footswitch, and is based on the percent of maximum voltage output.
When the Diathermy icon is pressed a popup window is displayed to remind the
operator to use the footswitch to control this function. This popup window can be
removed by pressing the screen's Continue key or activating the diathermy function.
The diathermy function can be activated in all modes by pressing the footswitch's
left vertical switch. In Frag, VFC, and Scissors modes the footpedal must be released
before you can activate diathermy; in Extrude mode the footpedal is inconsequential.
Diathermy power is adjusted with the up/down arrow buttons on the front panel, with
the percentage of maximum diathermy voltage output displayed.
• Illuminators (Illum1 & Illum2)

Two halogen bulbs in the front panel illuminator drawer provide light to two
1
illuminator receptacles (not available in 200PS system). Fiber optic light pipes can
be plugged into the receptacles. Illuminators can be used individually or concurrently
Illum1 because each illuminator has its own On/Off and intensity controls. Light intensity for
each illuminator is shown in its LED display, and each is adjustable using the up/
down arrow buttons.
2
Illum2
In the event of a burnt bulb a System Advisory appears on the screen, and the
illuminator's icon dims and is covered with a strike. The user should then remove and
plug the light pipe into the other illuminator receptacle, press OK, and proceed.
Illum2 NOTE: Upon completion of the procedure it is recommended that the burnt bulb
be replaced. Two illuminator sources should always be available. (See Care and
Maintenance, Section Fifteen of this manual, for instructions to replace bulb.)

Accurus®
POSTERIOR SURGERY MODES
The Accurus® system offers five surgery modes in the posterior domain—depicted
as icons in the Modes Window at the bottom of the touch screen—and each surgery
mode has submodes (see Table 3-1). The active mode and submode keys are
highlighted, and their names are displayed in the Title Window.
To enter a surgery mode, press its associated icon key on the touch screen. The
previous surgery mode or submode is deactivated when a new mode or submode is
selected, and front panel LED's illuminate to indicate which connectors are active.
To enter a surgery submode, press the key above its associated mode key. Pressing a
mode key successively causes the system to cycle through the available submodes.
NOTE: The footpedal must be released, and none of the footswitches depressed,
to enter or change a surgery mode.
When a surgery mode is first entered after power up, the system enters its factory
default settings, or if a doctor memory has been selected, the doctor's programmed
values are used. If the defaults are then adjusted, re-entry to that mode will display the
new values. Turning system power OFF resets all values back to the factory default
settings, as does exiting the posterior domain.
footswitch consists of a footpedal, right and left horizontal/vertical switches, and right
and left vertical heel switches. Functions controlled by the footswitch are listed in
Tables 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, and 3-5.

Vit Mode Surgery Screen
The Vit (vitrectomy) mode provides vitreous cutting and vacuum using a
pneumatically powered vitrectomy probe connected by tubing to a pulsed air pressure
source and a vacuum port. The available probes, selected in the Vitreoretinal Surgery
Setup screen, are Accurus®, Accurus® 1500, Accurus® 2500, and InnoVit®.
Vit
The Vit mode is entered when the Surgery key is pressed in the Vitreoretinal Surgery
Setup screen. Three submodes are available, each with its own default cut rate and
vacuum level. Values are adjusted using touch arrow keys, even when the footpedal is
depressed. When a function is disabled, its setting turns from blue to gray.
Cutting and/or vacuum is begun when the footpedal is pressed. Cutting can be
disabled/enabled using the footswitch or by pressing the Set Point key, and can be
changed regardless of footpedal position. If cutting is enabled, “Cut On” is displayed
in the title window; if cutting is disabled, “Cut Off” is displayed. Vacuum can be
disabled/enabled by pressing the vacuum Max Limit display. Cutting and vacuum
cannot both be disabled at the same time (one must always be enabled).
Visible only
when option
is enabled.
Figure 3-4 VIT MODE SCREEN - This screen shows the proportional vacuum submode, set up
to operate with the Accurus® probe. This screen is similar for the other vitrectomy
probes using proportional vacuum or momentary cut. 3D vitrectomy has its own unique
screen that includes Treadle Start and Full Treadle settings for both vacuum and cut
rate (see Figure 3-5).
3.12
Accurus®
Submode selection represents vacuum and cutting characteristics:
Prop Vac
The Vitrectomy Proportional Vacuum submode contains values for maximum vacuum
level and cut-rate set point. As the footpedal is depressed the vacuum increases, with
the actual vacuum displayed in the Actual Value box and its linear equivalent reflected
in the bar.
The amount of vacuum delivered to the probe is regulated by the amount of footpedal
depression up to the max limit. The Vacuum Max Limit is numeric, and can be
adjusted by pressing the up/down arrows to the right of the value. The Actual Value is
a progression bar for display only, and can not be modified by the user. The vacuum
on/off status is signified by the background color of the Max Limit key; pressing the
key toggles the status between on (blue) and off (light gray).
Probe cutting at a preset rate begins when the footpedal is pressed. The Cut Rate Set
Point value is numeric, and can be adjusted by pressing the up/down arrows to the right
of the value. The cutting on/off status is signified by the background color of the Set
Point key; pressing the key toggles the status between on (blue) and off (light gray).
A cut-off max vacuum adjustment is provided for each Vit probe when the
Vit Cut-off Setpoint is enabled (see Figure 3-4). This option is enabled in the doctor
memory area (Options -> Memory -> Common -> Other) and the controls function as
follows:

When cutting is enabled: The Vacuum Max Limit display background is blue and the
displayed value is used as the maximum when applying vacuum. The Cut-off Setpoint
display is gray to indicate that it is not the value currently in force, however the
setting can still be adjusted.
When cutting is disabled: The Cut-off Setpoint display background is blue and the
displayed value is used as the maximum when applying vacuum. The Vacuum Max
Limit display is gray to indicate that it is not the value currently in force, however the
If this option is disabled, the Cut-off Setpoint parameter is not displayed.
Moment
The Vitrectomy Momentary Cut submode has the same characteristics as the Prop Vac
submode, except that the cutter is activated when the applicable footpedal switch is
momentarily activated (the default activation switch is the right horizontal switch).
8065750203
Accurus®
3D
The Vitrectomy 3D (Dual Dynamic Drive) mode has similar characteristics as the
Prop Vac submode, except that vacuum delivered to the probe and the probe cutting
rate are both regulated by the amount of footpedal depression. The display contains
adjustable values for vacuum level at footpedal start, vacuum level at full depression;
and cut rate at footpedal start, cut rate at full depression. A unique feature of this
mode is that 1) vacuum can be set to start at 0 and rise to its maximum setting at full
footpedal depression, while the cutting rate can be set to start at its maximum setting
and decrease as the footpedal is depressed (or any combination thereof) and that 2) to
ensure that not too much flow is generated when the footpedal is first depressed, the
vacuum level is ramped up from 0 to the set starting level during the first part of the
pedal travel.
Figure 3-5 VIT 3D (Dual Dynamic Drive) MODE SCREEN - This screen shows the 3D submode.
The footpedal controls both proportional vacuum and proportional cut rate. Treadle
Start and Full Treadle settings for vacuum and cut rate are fully adjustable to start
high and finish low, or to start low and finish high according to preference.
3.14
Accurus®
Frag Mode Surgery Screen
The Fragmentation mode provides ultrasonic fragmentation and vacuum using

Alcon's Fragmatome™* handpiece. The handpiece is connected to the Accurus®
console with an electric cable and vacuum tubing.
Frag Four submodes are available, each with its own default U/S power and vacuum limits.
Values are adjustable using touch arrow keys, regardless of footpedal position. U/S
power is enabled and disabled by pressing foot switches or by pressing the power
setting on the touch screen (except in momentary mode). Micro reflux is available via
the footswitch.
U/S Pulse controls are available in all four submodes, and can be turned on/off by
pressing the Pulse Rate touch key. The pulse rate can be adjusted using the up/down
arrow keys, even with the footpedal depressed.
Linear - Depressing the footpedal in Linear Fragmentation submode increases

vacuum up to its maximum limit, which is reached at half of full footpedal
depression. From this detent point maximum vacuum is maintained while
proportional U/S power begins and increases up to the U/S power maximum limit,
reached at full footpedal depression.
Moment - The Momentary Fragmentation submode allows momentary activation

of U/S power while using vacuum. Depressing the footpedal provides vacuum
proportional to pedal position, up to the maximum limit. Fixed U/S power is provided
while the footpedal is depressed and the applicable footswitch switch is momentarily
activated (the default activation switch is the right horizontal switch).
Figure 3-6 LINEAR FRAGMENTATION SCREEN - In Linear Fragmentation mode vacuum builds
up to its maximum value at the footpedal's halfway point, then U/S power begins and
rises to its maximum value at full footpedal depression.
8065750203
Accurus®
3D (Dual Dynamic Drive) - In the Frag 3D submode, vacuum delivered to the

probe and the U/S power are simultaneously regulated by the amount of footpedal
depression. The display contains adjustable values for vacuum level at footpedal start
and at full depression; and U/S power at footpedal start and at full depression. To
ensure that not too much flow is generated when the footpedal is first depressed, the
vacuum level is ramped up from zero to the set starting level during the first part of
the pedal travel.
Fixed - When the Fixed Fragmentation submode is enabled, depressing the footpedal
activates the preset U/S power and provides vacuum proportional to footpedal
depression, up to the maximum limit.
3.16
Accurus®
Scissors Mode Surgery Screen
The Scissors mode provides cutting capability using pneumatically or electrically

powered scissors controlled by the footswitch. The pneumatically powered scissors
uses a microscissors screwed onto the Alcon IOS handpiece, which is connected
via tubing to a front panel pneumatic port. The electrically powered MPC scissors
Scissors handpiece plugs into a front panel electrical connector. Three submodes are available:
Prop (Proportional), Multi (Multiple Cut), and MPC (Membrane Peeler/Cutter).
Prop - The Proportional submode (see Figure 3-7) provides proportional control of
the opening and closing of the scissor blades, dependent upon the amount of footpedal
depression. The amount of scissors closure is indicated in the Pressure window. When
the footpedal is fully depressed, the Max Limit is reached, and scissors should be fully
closed. Max Limit pressure is adjustable with the Up/Down triangle keys.
Pressing Calibrate in the SCISSORS: Proportional screen activates the SCISSORS:

Calibration screen (see Figure 3-9), allowing the user to adjust the scissors Start and
Close Pressure with the Up/Down triangle keys, whether or not scissors are enabled
(footpedal is not required for calibration). The Start Pressure or Close Pressure
keys must be pressed to activate pressure through the tubing to the handpiece. If one
pressure is adjusted to equal the other, the pressures will automatically be adjusted so
the closed pressure is greater than the open pressure. Pressing the Default key sets the
pressures back to the factory defaults. Pressing the Surgery key closes this screen and
returns the operator to the SCISSORS: Proportional screen.
Multi and MPC - In the Multiple Cut or MPC submode pressing the footpedal
activates the scissors at a Cut Rate proportional to the footpedal position up to the
preset Max Limit, set by pressing the Up/Down triangle keys next to the Max Limit
readout. Single cuts are possible by adjusting the cut rate to a low Max Limit and
momentarily pressing the footpedal.
Figure 3-7 PROPORTIONAL SCISSORS SCREEN - Pressing down on the footpedal in this mode
provides proportional control of the closing of the scissor blades.

Pressing the Vacuum Max Limit key turns scissors off and activates proportional
vacuum for aspiration. When vacuum is activated the scissors can be momentarily
activated at the preset value when the right horizontal switch is pressed, and vacuum
is controlled proportional to the amount of footpedal depression up to its Max Limit.
WARNING!
Use of a MPC scissors handpiece at high cut rates continuously for over 2 1/2 minutes
can result in excessive handpiece heating. Allow the scissors to cool for approximately

VFC Mode Surgery Screen
The VFC (Viscous Fluid Control) mode provides pressure at the front panel VFC
connector for fluid injection (i.e., silicone oil), or vacuum for extraction, through
tubing to a syringe. Using vacuum the VFC mode also provides a means of extruding
fluid through an extrusion handpiece (in Dual submode injection and extrusion are
VFC done simultaneously). Pressure and vacuum levels are adjustable via the arrow keys
next to the Max Limit display boxes.
CAUTION
Always use Alcon-supplied Viscous Fluid Control Paks and follow all Directions
for Use. Do not aspirate fluids directly into the console; this will cause damage to
the console, increase risk of electrical shock, and void all warranties.
Inject - In this submode injection pressure to the syringe is provided proportional to the
footpedal position up to the Max Limit setting.
WARNINGS!
• Double check the cannula connected to the syringe for a tight connection. It must
not be allowed to come loose.
• Adjust the Max Limit air pressure in accordance with the viscosity of fluids to be
injected. Excessively high settings may endanger the patient.

SECTION FOUR
POSTERIOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
This section of the manual contains typical setup procedures using posterior Accurus®
paks, then guidelines to navigate through the posterior domain.
The Accurus® pak setup procedures are written for a surgical team of three people:
Surgeon and Scrub Nurse in the sterile field, and Circulating Nurse in the non‑sterile
field. The instuctions are divided into two columns. In the left column a directive is
given, and in the right column a team member is identified to perform the task. These
procedures assume that a sterile drape is not being utilized; if it is applied to the front
of the console, the roles of the Circulating Nurse and the Scrub Nurse change.
If you have problems with the system when performing the setup instructions, you
should first refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual. If questions still exist,
contact the Alcon Technical Services Department or your local Alcon representative.
Power Up Sequence
Follow these steps each time you turn system power ON. This helps ensure that the
Accurus® system is set up correctly and is ready for surgery.
1. Plug the power cord into its power source.
2. Connect the air hose between the Accurus® system and the pressure supply
(compressed air or nitrogen). Verify that pressure is between 90 to 120 psi
(500 kpa minimum for reduced operation).
3. Connect the footswitch cable to the Accurus® system.
4. Connect the optional Power IV Pole cable to the Accurus® system.
5. First turn system power ON using the rear panel ON/OFF switch and then the
front panel Standby switch. Alcon's Accurus® logo is displayed on the viewing
screen while the system completes its initialization and self-test diagnostics
(approximately 2 minutes). While completing diagnostics, confirm that the five
Global Function LED displays on the front panel flash 888 before the system
enters either the Procedure Selection screen or a Surgery Setup screen.
If a fault is detected during diagnostics, a System Fault screen is displayed and

operator inputs are locked out until the failure/problem is corrected.
8065750203
Accurus®
Select a Mode of Operation (600DS and 800CS)
An Accurus® 600DS or 800CS system enters the Procedure Selection screen upon
successful completion of self-test diagnostics. At this point you must select the
posterior domain of operation on the touch screen, then a variety of operating
selections are available to you. Navigating through domains and their modes of
operation is flexible, controlled by system software, and is generally structured as
diagrammed in Figure 4-1.
If your system only offers posterior functions, or if the system has been programmed
in the System Parameters screen (Options/System) to automatically enter the
posterior domain, the Procedure Selection screen is bypassed. For systems that offer
it, the operator can return to the Procedure Selection screen by pressing the Exit key.
Navigating Through the Accurus® Posterior Mode Screens
After entering a mode of operation, most surgical operations are controlled through
the doctor's footswitch, but before any surgery can be performed there are system
modes and parameters that must be selected. Most presurgical system preparation
is performed by inserting a cassette, connecting handpieces and accessories to
the Accurus® system, then pressing buttons to navigate through the system touch
screens to make operating selections. A brief outline of screens and their functions is
presented below.
• Accurus® Opening Screen - When system power is turned ON the Accurus®

banner is displayed while the system completes initialization and self-test
diagnostics. All operator input is blocked out during this procedure (use rear
panel Power switch to power down during initialization). After successfully
completing self-test diagnostics the system enters either the Procedure Selection
screen or the Vitreoretinal Surgery Setup screen.
• Procedure Selection Screen - On systems that offer the Procedure Selection

screen, the operator can select Posterior to enter the setup screen for that domain.
• Vitreoretinal Surgery Setup Screen - This screen is designed to help the

operating room staff prepare the system for vitreoretinal surgery.
You first insert a cassette, then in the Handpieces/Probes section of the screen
you select handpieces and probes you want to use. Plug handpieces and probes
into the illuminated front panel connectors, then press the Test key to test and
prime/tune the selections. The system automatically advances to the appropriate
surgery mode after testing is done.
One accessory can be selected at a time by pressing the desired item from the
Accessories choices. The associated front panel connectors illuminate to help
you plug the accessory into the correct connectors.

Using the Global Functions
The global keys are used to select global functions (except for the Diathermy key
which is always enabled for footswitch control). When selected, the global function
key is highlighted, the corresponding global parameter value in the LED display is
illuminated, and the console connector is illuminated to help connect the accessory.
The corresponding rubber arrow buttons are used to adjust the global function
parameter values, which change at a faster update rate when the key is held down.
The preset parameter values are displayed on the LED displays.
Five global functions, accessed by pressing their icon keys on the left side of the
touch screen, are unique to the system's posterior domain.
• Infusion: VGFI™* or Power IV Pole (mmHg or cmH2O)

• F/AX Infusion (mmHg)
• Diathermy (%)
• Illuminator #1 (Illum1)
Infusion - The top global selection on the touch screen is enabled in the posterior
domain when VGFI or Power Pole is selected in the Infusion Settings screen.
VGFI™* infusion utilizes the Accurus® low pressure air supply to provide regulated
pressure into the infusion bottle. Alternate infusion pressure, set and enabled in the
mmHg Infusion Settings screen, is activated by pressing a switch on the footswitch. If Power
Pole is the selected infusion method, this control is used to set the desired infusion
pressure which automatically sets the power IV pole height. If Gravity is selected in
the Infusion Settings screen, this choice is blanked out (manually adjusted gravity fed
infusion is independent of the Accurus® system).
F/AX Infusion - While in the posterior domain, selecting F/AX (Fluid/Air Exchange)
cancels VGFI™* infusion. F/AX utilizes the Accurus® low pressure air supply to
provide regulated pressure into the eye. Using a VGFI™* tubing set you can provide
air to the eye through its stopcock valve. Alternate F/AX pressure, chosen in the
mmHg Infusion Settings screen, is activated by pressing a footswitch switch.
Diathermy - The diathermy global selection is activated through the footswitch, and
not through the global selection touch screen. Diathermy power is only provided to
the handpiece when the switch is depressed, and turns OFF when released.

• Extrusion Handpiece
• Reusable Diathermy Handpiece and Cable
• Reusable Infusion Accessories

NOTE: The list of reusable accessories above will withstand steam autoclave cycles at 134º C
(273º F). Due to the variation found in steam autoclaves and the variable bioburden on
instruments in clinical use, it is not possible for Alcon to provide specific parameters to ensure
an adequate sterility assurance level. Validation of the individual autoclave, and verification of
the sterility assurance level achieved with a given steam sterilization cycle, must be performed
by each hospital.
The specifications in Table 5-1 represent industry standard guidelines for steam sterilization cycles.
The sterility assurance level achieved with these parameters must be validated by each
hospital. Please refer to current ANSI/AAMI Standards or your hospital’s standard procedures for
the most current specifications.

Irrigation Settings Screen
The Irrigation Settings screen (see Figures 7-2 and 7-3) is entered by pressing the
Settings key on the Cataract Surgery Setup screen. In this anterior domain there
are two data tabs available on the screen: the Type tab and the Irrigation tab. (The
Infusion tab is not available and is grayed-out.) Pressing the Apply/Cancel key closes
this screen and returns to the Cataract Surgery Setup screen. Cancel returns with no
changes made; Apply returns and applies Type and Irrigation settings to the system.
• Type Tab
The irrigation Type tab determines how irrigation pressure is provided for surgery,
and is divided into three groups: Anterior Irrigation, Posterior Infusion, and Combined
Infusion/Irrigation. In this domain, only the Anterior Irrigation group is available.
Figure 7-2 IRRIGATION SETTINGS SCREEN: TYPE TAB - The Type tab allows the user to select
the type of Anterior Irrigation desired. Selecting the Irrigation tab offers alternate
irrigation choices, shown in Figure 7-3.
The Type tab contains keys for the following irrigation methods: AVGFI (Anterior
Vented Gas Forced Infusion), Power Pole, and Gravity. Pressing the Cancel key exits
the Irrigation Settings screen and returns to the previous screen without any modifications
taking effect. Pressing the Apply key accepts settings for both this tab and the Irrigation
tab, exits the Irrigation Settings screen, and returns to the Cataract Surgery Setup screen.
When AVGFI is selected, infusion pressure is provided by applying air pressure into
the fluid bottle. An internal air pump creates pressurized air, and Anterior VGFI™*
tubing delivers it to the bottle from a front panel connector. The air pressure setting is
adjusted with the global irrigation up/down buttons; the corresponding LED readout is
immediately to the left of the buttons and indicates air pressure at the console. Note:
Fluid bottle should be positioned at patient eye level.
IV pole, irrigation pressure is set by pressing the global up/down keys to the desired
pressure, and the power pole automatically moves up or down to the required height.
When Gravity irrigation is selected, irrigation pressure is dependent on the fluid

bottle height, set manually by the operator.
8065750203
Accurus®
• Irrigation Tab
The Irrigation tab allows the user to set Regular and Alternate irrigation pressures,
and the ability to select whether Alternate pressure is Available Yes/No. Alternate
pressure works with AVGFI and power pole irrigation; therefore, when gravity
irrigation is selected, these selections are grayed out and not functional. The pressure
values for Phaco, I/A, and Vit can be adjusted by pressing the up/down arrows next to
the value. The regular and alternate pressures are toggled by pressing the footswitch's
right vertical switch. Selecting Alternate Yes or No determines whether alternate
pressure will be available with the footswitch.
Pressing the Cancel key exits the Irrigation Settings screen and returns to the
previous screen without any modifications taking effect. Pressing the Apply key
accepts the settings, exits the Irrigation Settings screen, and returns to the Cataract
Surgery Setup screen.

ANTERIOR GLOBAL FUNCTIONS KEYS
Global functions are available in all surgery and setup screens. There are four global
functions which, generally, can be selected, adjusted, and displayed at any time.
When a global function is selected its color icon turns blue and its LED readout
illuminates brightly. (There are two exceptions. One exception is diathermy. Its LED
readout is always lit, and its color icon turns blue when activated with the footswitch.
The second exception is AVGFI. After activation the air pump remains ON and the
LED readout remains dimly lit, unless continuous irrigation is turned ON, when its
color icon and LED readout remain illuminated.)
(except for diathermy as mentioned above).
• Irrigation
Irrigation pressure is delivered through one of three types: Anterior VGFI™*, Power
IV Pole, or Gravity. Selection of irrigation method is provided in the Irrigation
Settings screen (see Figure 7-2).
cmH20
In anterior surgeries the fluid is delivered to the eye via a handpiece connected by
tubing to the cassette. Irrigation ON/OFF control is maintained by the footpedal;
depressing the footpedal starts irrigation, and releasing the pedal stops it. (Continuous
irrigation is also available.) When footpedal activates irrigation the LED readout
cmH20 illuminates brightly, and the icon's water drop enlarges and turns blue. For Continuous
Reflux the icon background also turns bright blue.
When AVGFI (Anterior Vented Gas Forced Irrigation) is selected in the Irrigation
Settings screen and activated by pressing its global icon, the Accurus® system delivers
filtered, pressurized air through a tubing set into the infusion bottle, which in turn
pressurizes fluid through the cassette and handpiece to the eye. The global up/down
arrow buttons are used to adjust the fluid pressure, displayed as cmH2O or mmHg.
Pressing down on the footswitch's right vertical switch during surgery toggles between
regular and alternate irrigation pressure, when available.
The Power Pole selection uses gravity to pressurize fluid when the bottle is hanging
from the optional power IV pole. Irrigation pressure can be set by pressing the global
up/down buttons until the desired LED pressure readout is displayed. The power
IV pole automatically raises or lowers to the correct height, and the LED pressure
readout blinks as the pole is moving. Pressing down on the footswitch's right vertical
switch toggles between regular and alternate irrigation pressure, when available.
When Gravity irrigation is selected, pressure is adjusted by manually raising or

lowering irrigation bottle (the Accurus® system does not provide irrigation pressure).
• Continuous Irrigation
Continuous irrigation, independent of the footpedal, is turned ON/OFF by pressing
either the global irrigation icon or pressing sideways on the footswitch's right
horizontal switch. Continuous irrigation is available in Gravity, Power Pole, and AVGFI.

The global keys are used to select global functions (except for the Diathermy key
which is always enabled for footswitch control). When selected, the global function
key is highlighted, the corresponding global parameter value in the LED display is
illuminated, and the console connector is illuminated to help connect the accessory.
The corresponding rubberized arrow buttons are used to adjust the global function
parameter values, which change repeatedly when the key is held down. The preset
parameter values are displayed on the LED displays.
Four global functions, accessed by pressing their icon keys on the left side of the
touch screen, are unique to the system's anterior domain.
• Irrigation: AVGFI or Power IV Pole (cmH2O or mmHg)

• Diathermy (% volt)
• Illuminator #1 (Illum1, not available on 200PS)
• Illuminator #2 (Illum2, not available on 200PS)
Irrigation - The top global selection on the touch screen turns continuous irrigation
ON in the anterior domain when AVGFI irrigation or Power Pole is selected in the
Irrigation Settings screen. Pressing it again turns continuous irrigation OFF. Anterior
cmH20 VGFI™* irrigation utilizes the Accurus® low pressure air supply to provide regulated
pressure into the irrigation bottle. Alternate irrigation pressure, set and enabled in
the Irrigation Settings screen, is activated by pressing the footswitch's right vertical
switch. If Power Pole is the selected irrigation method, this control is used to set the
desired irrigation pressure which automatically sets the cart's power pole height. If
Gravity is selected, this global key can be used to turn continuous irrigation on and
off (manually adjusted gravity fed irrigation is independent of the Accurus® system).
Diathermy - The diathermy global selection is activated through the footswitch's left
vertical switch, and not through the global selection touch screen. Diathermy power is
% only provided to the handpiece when the vertical switch is depressed, and turns OFF
when released.

CAUTIONS
• Use of a tool other than the tip wrench supplied in the Pak may
cause damage to the phaco tip and handpiece.
• The Mackool** handpiece utilizes a reverse thread on its tip. To tighten
the tip turn it counterclockwise, to loosen the tip turn it clockwise.
9. Enable Continuous Irrigation by pressing the Irrigation key (top key Scrub Nurse
in the Global Function screen, labeled either mmHg or cmH20), or by
pressing and releasing the right horizontal switch on the footswitch.
10. Fill the test chamber with fluid as it streams out of the handpiece Scrub Nurse
irrigation ports, then slide the test chamber over the sleeve/tip.
11. Press Test; the system primes, tests, and tunes the tubing/handpiece. Scrub Nurse
The popup screen will disappear, Continuous Irrigation will turn OFF,
and the system will enter the Phaco: Linear screen upon completion
of the prime and test/tune sequence.
12. Select either Phaco Linear, Burst, or Fixed and proceed to step 20. Scrub Nurse
WARNINGS!
• The ultrasonic (U/S) handpiece must be at room temperature before
use. Allow handpiece to AIR COOL for at least 15 minutes after steam
autoclave. Never immerse in liquid to cool.
• Use of the phaco handpiece in the absence of irrigation flow and/or in

the presence of reduced or lost aspiration flow can cause excessive
heating and potential corneal and/or tissue burns.
• Use only Alcon-certified Mackool** or Turbosonics® MicroTip™

configurations (0.9 mm). Alcon does not recommend the use of standard
Turbosonics® tips (1.1 mm) with the Accurus® drive system.
• It is important that irrigation and aspiration parameters are set at safe

levels when using the 0.9 mm tip on a phaco handpiece.

• Pump
During setup in the combined domain, if power pole or gravity is the selected infusion
method, the Pump key appears in the Modes window. Pressing this key turns the air
pump ON, allowing the user to test the Fluid/Air Exchange (F/AX) tubing by noting
Pump air flow at the infusion cannula. Pressing the key again turns the pump OFF. After
entering a posterior mode of operation the F/AX key appears in place of the global
irrigation key, allowing ON/OFF and pressure control of the F/AX function.
Irrigation/Infusion Settings Screen
The Irrigation/Infusion Settings screen (see Figure 11-2) is entered by pressing the
Settings key on the Combined Surgery Setup screen. In the Combined domain there
are three data tabs available on the screen: the Type tab, Irrigation tab, and Infusion
tab. Pressing Exit closes this screen and returns to the Combined Surgery Setup screen.
• Type Tab
The Type tab is selected to determine how sterile irrigating/infusing solution is
provided for surgery, and is divided into three groups: Anterior Irrigation, Posterior
Infusion, and Combined Infusion/Irrigation. In this domain, only the Combined
Infusion/Irrigation group is available.
The Type tab contains keys for the following fluid delivery methods: CVGFI
(Combined Vented Gas Forced Irrigation/Infusion), Power Pole, and Gravity.
Pressing Cancel exits the Irrigation/Infusion Settings screen and returns to the
previous screen without any modifications taking effect. Pressing Apply accepts the
settings, exits the Irrigation/Infusion Settings screen, and returns to the previous screen.
Figure 11-2 IRRIGATION/INFUSION SETTINGS SCREEN: TYPE TAB - The Type tab allows the user
to select the type of fluid delivery desired. Selecting the Irrigation and Infusion tabs
offers more choices, shown in Figures 11-3 and 11-4.
8065750203
Accurus®
When CVGFI is selected, an internal air pump creates pressurized air, and Combined
VGFI™* tubing delivers it to the fluid bottle from a front panel connector. The air
pressure setting, which affects the rate of fluid delivery to the eye, is adjusted with
the global function Up/Down arrow buttons; the corresponding LED readout is
immediately to the left of the buttons. Note: Fluid bottle should be positioned at
patient eye level.
IV pole, fluid pressure is set by pressing the global function Up/Down arrow buttons
to the desired pressure, and the power pole automatically moves up or down to the
required height.
When Gravity pressure is selected, fluid pressure is dependent on the fluid bottle
height, independent of Accurus® system controls, and is set manually by the operator.
• Irrigation Tab
The Irrigation tab allows the user to set Regular and Alternate irrigation pressures,
and the ability to select whether Alternate pressure is Available Yes/No. The pressure
values for Phaco, I/A, and anterior Vit can be adjusted by pressing the Up/Down
triangle keys next to the value. Alternate pressure works with CVGFI and power pole
delivery; therefore, when gravity pressure is selected, the Irrigation tab pressures
are grayed out and not functional. The regular and alternate pressures are toggled
by pressing the footswitch's right vertical switch. Selecting Alternate Yes or No
determines whether alternate pressure will be available with the footswitch.
Pressing the Cancel key exits the Irrigation/Infusion Settings screen and returns to
the previous screen without any modifications taking effect. Pressing the Apply key
accepts the settings, exits the Irrigation/Infusion Settings screen, and returns to the
previous screen. Note: Infusion/irrigation type cannot be changed with infusion
or irrigation active.

• Infusion Tab
The Alternate Infusion group contains a value for the alternate Pressure and a setting
for alternate pressure Available Yes/No. Alternate pressure works with CVGFI and
power pole infusion; therefore, when gravity infusion is selected, these selections are
grayed out and not functional. The Pressure value can be adjusted by pressing the Up/
Down triangle keys next to the value. The nominal and alternate pressures are toggled
by pressing the footswitch's right vertical switch.
The Alternate F/AX group contains a value for the alternate Pressure and a setting for
alternate pressure Available Yes/No. The Pressure value is adjusted by pressing the
Up/Down triangle keys next to the value. Selecting Alternate Yes or No determines
whether alternate pressure will be available with the footswitch.
The Alternate Infusion / F/AX group allows the user to select either Recall or Preset
alternate pressure values, giving the ability to select whether the alternate infusion
level will always go to the preset value, or recall the last-used alternate infusion level.

POSTERIOR AND ANTERIOR GLOBAL FUNCTIONS KEYS
Global functions are available in all surgery and setup screens. There are five
global functions which, generally, can be selected, adjusted, and displayed at any
time. When a global function is selected its color icon and LED readout illuminate
brightly. (An exception is diathermy. Its LED readout is always lit, and its color icon
illuminates brightly when activated with the footswitch.)
(except for diathermy as mentioned above). The LED's are dimly lit if the proper
cassette is inserted and the LPA pump is on or the I/V pole is at position.
• Irrigation/Infusion
Fluid pressure is delivered through one of three methods: CVGFI, Power Pole, or
Gravity. The type of fluid delivery method is selected in the Irrigation/Infusion
Settings screen (see Figures 11-2, 11-3, and 11-4).

OR In posterior surgeries the fluid is delivered to the eye via an infusion cannula or
infusion handpiece. Infusion ON/OFF control is maintained by the footpedal;
irrigation is also available.)

mmHg In anterior surgeries the fluid is delivered to the eye via a handpiece connected by
tubing to the cassette. Irrigation ON/OFF control is maintained by the footpedal;
irrigation is also available.)
When CVGFI (Combined Vented Gas Forced Infusion) is selected in the Irrigation/
cmH20 Infusion Settings screen and activated by pressing this global icon, the Accurus®
system delivers filtered, pressurized air through a tubing set into the fluid bottle,
OR
which in turn pressurizes fluid through tubing to the eye. Up/Down arrow buttons
are used to adjust fluid pressure, displayed in mmHg or cmH2O. NOTE: F/AX is
controlled by the Infusion/ F/AX global.
mmHg The Power Pole Irrigation/Infusion selection uses gravity to pressurize fluid when the
bottle is hanging from the optional power IV pole. Fluid pressure can be set by pressing
the global function Up/Down arrow buttons until the desired LED pressure readout is
displayed. The power IV pole automatically raises or lowers to the correct height, and
the LED pressure readout blinks as the pole is moving. Activation of MPC scissors, or
loading/unloading a cassette, will momentarily interrupt power IV pole movement.
When Gravity pressure is selected in the Irrigation/Infusion Settings screen, the

infusion icon fades, and the Accurus® system does not provide control of fluid
pressure; pressure is adjusted by manually raising or lowering the fluid bottle.

The Phaco function provides vacuum and U/S power to the ultrasonic handpiece.
Irrigation and aspiration lines must be plugged into the handpiece, and its electric
cable plugged into the illuminated front panel connector.
Phaco The Phaco mode is entered when the Phaco handpiece is selected in the Combined
Surgery Setup screen and the Surgery key is pressed, or after a tune of a phaco
handpiece, or when the Phaco key is available from another mode. The Phaco mode
consists of four submodes: Linear, Burst, 3D, and Fixed, with Linear being the
factory default. Each submode has its own default values which are adjustable by
pressing Up/Down triangle keys.
U/S Pulse controls are available in two submodes (linear and fixed), and can be turned
on/off by pressing the Pulse Rate touch key. The pulse rate can be adjusted using its
Up/Down triangle keys.
WARNING!
touching of the ultrasonic tip with a second instrument. Another potential source

power is provided from detent two to full footpedal depression, with the preset Power
Max Limit reached at full depression. Pulse On/Off control is available by pressing
the Pulse Rate touch key, and pulses per second (pps) is adjusted with its Up/Down
triangle keys.
Burst - In Phaco Burst submode, irrigation is provided when the footpedal is

through detent two, and sustained from detent two to full footpedal depression.
In the Phaco Burst submode fixed U/S power (Power %) can be adjusted for
frequency (Duty Cycle) and duration (Burst Length) of U/S power pulses. The
frequency of bursts is controlled with the footpedal from detent two to full treadle
depression, while the fixed burst length is set in milliseconds (ms). The actual percent
of time U/S power is activated is reflected in the Duty Cycle window.
Figure 11-6 PHACO BURST MODE SCREEN - In the Phaco Burst submode fixed U/S power can
be adjusted for frequency and duration of U/S power pulses.

In the Phaco 3D submode, irrigation is provided when the footpedal is depressed.
Vacuum delivered to the probe and the U/S power are simultaneously regulated by the
amount of footpedal depression. The display contains adjustable values for vacuum
level at footpedal start and at full depression; and U/S power at footpedal start and
at full depression. To ensure that not too much flow is generated when the footpedal
is first depressed, the vacuum level is ramped up from zero to the set starting level
during the first part of the pedal travel.
Fixed - In Phaco Fixed submode, irrigation is provided when the footpedal is

through detent two, and sustained from detent two to full footpedal depression. The
preset U/S Power Setpoint is reached immediately upon entry into footpedal detent
two, and is sustained to full depression. Pulse On/Off control is available by pressing
the Pulse Rate touch key, and pulses per second (pps) is adjusted with its Up/Down
triangle keys.

Accurus®
Frag Mode Surgery Screen
The Fragmentation mode provides ultrasonic fragmentation and vacuum using

Alcon's Fragmatome™* handpiece. The handpiece is connected to the Accurus®
console with an electric cable and vacuum tubing.

Frag The Fragmentation mode is entered when the Frag handpiece is selected in the Combined
Surgery Setup screen and the Surgery key is pressed, or when a Frag handpiece is tuned,
or when the Frag key is available from another mode. Four submodes are available, each
with its own default U/S power and vacuum limits. U/S power is enabled and disabled by
pressing foot switches or by pressing the power setting on the touch screen (except in
momentary mode). Micro reflux is available via the footswitch.
U/S Pulse controls are available in all submodes, and can be turned on/off by pressing the
Pulse Rate touch key. The pulse rate can be adjusted using its Up/Down triangle keys.
Linear - Depressing the footpedal in Linear Fragmentation submode increases

vacuum up to its maximum limit, which is reached at half of full footpedal
depression. From this detent point maximum vacuum is maintained while
proportional U/S power begins and increases up to the U/S power maximum limit,
reached at full footpedal depression.
Moment - The Momentary Fragmentation submode allows momentary activation

of U/S power while using vacuum. Depressing the footpedal provides vacuum
proportional to pedal position, up to the maximum limit. Fixed U/S power is provided
while the footpedal is depressed and the applicable footswitch switch is momentarily
activated (the default activation switch is the right horizontal switch).
Figure 11-7 LINEAR FRAGMENTATION SCREEN - In Linear Fragmentation mode vacuum builds
up to its maximum value at the footpedal's halfway point, then U/S power begins and
rises to its maximum value at full footpedal depression. The F/AX global key is available
because Power Pole or Gravity is the selected irrigation method.
8065750203
Accurus®

In the Frag 3D submode, vacuum delivered to the probe and the U/S power are
simultaneously regulated by the amount of footpedal depression. The display contains
adjustable values for vacuum level at footpedal start and at full depression; and U/S
power at footpedal start and at full depression. To ensure that not too much flow is
generated when the footpedal is first depressed, the vacuum level is ramped up from
zero to the set starting level during the first part of the pedal travel.
Fixed - When the Fixed Fragmentation submode is enabled, depressing the footpedal
activates the preset U/S power and provides vacuum proportional to footpedal
depression, up to the maximum limit.
I/A Mode Surgery Screen
The I/A mode provides irrigation and vacuum for aspiration to the I/A handpiece. This
function consists of two vacuum submodes: I/A Max (Maximum, the factory default)
and I/A CapVac (reduced vacuum). Each submode has its own default Max Limit
vacuum level, adjustable using Up/Down triangle keys, even when the footpedal is
I/A depressed.
Irrigation begins when the footpedal is depressed, and linear vacuum is provided
from detent one to full footpedal depression, with the preset Max Limit reached at full
depression.
Figure 11-8 I/A MAX MODE SCREEN - Shown here is the I/A Max display screen. The I/A CapVac
screen looks similar, but the Max Limit default setting is 30 mmHg. These modes

source and a vacuum port. The available probes, selected in the Combined Surgery
Setup screen, are Accurus®, Accurus® 1500, Accurus® 2500, and InnoVit®. Probe
Vit availability depends up on system model number.
After selecting a vitrectomy probe, the Vit mode is entered when the Surgery key is
pressed in the Combined Surgery Setup screen. Four submodes are available, each
with its own default cut rate and vacuum level. Values are adjusted using Up/Down
triangle keys, even when the footpedal is depressed. The vacuum and cutting on/off
status is shown in the background color of their display keys; pressing a key toggles
the status between ON (blue) and OFF (light gray).
Cutting and/or vacuum is begun when the footpedal is pressed (cutting is enabled
in Momentary Vit mode via a footswitch switch). Cutting can be disabled/enabled
using the footswitch or by pressing its display key, and can be changed regardless of
footpedal position. If cutting is enabled, “Cut On” is displayed in the title window;
if cutting is disabled, “Cut Off” is displayed. Vacuum can be disabled/enabled by
pressing its display key. Cutting and vacuum cannot both be disabled at the same time
(one must always be enabled).
Wet Ant - For wet anterior vitrectomy, pressing the footpedal into detent 1 initiates
bimanual or coaxial irrigation. Linear vacuum and cutting, when enabled, is provided
from detent two to full footpedal depression, reaching the preset maximum vacuum at
full depression.
Figure 11-9 WET ANT MODE SCREEN - Shown here is the Wet Anterior Vitrectomy submode
screen. This is the default mode when entering from an anterior mode or the Combined
Surgery Setting screen after selecting an anterior handpiece/probe.

Prop Vac
The VIT: Proportional Vacuum submode contains values for maximum vacuum limit
and cut-rate set point. As the footpedal is depressed the vacuum increases, with the
actual vacuum displayed in the Actual Value box and its linear equivalent reflected
in the bar. The Actual Value is a progression bar for display only, and can not be
modified by the user.
The amount of vacuum delivered to the probe is regulated by the amount of footpedal
depression up to the Max Limit. The Vacuum Max Limit is numeric, and can be
adjusted by pressing its Up/Down triangle keys.
Probe cutting at a preset rate begins when the footpedal is pressed. The Cut Rate Set

Figure 11-10 VIT PROP VAC MODE SCREEN - This screen shows the Proportional Vacuum submode,
set up to operate with the Accurus® probe. This is the default mode when entering
from a posterior mode or the Combined Surgery Setting screen after selecting a
posterior handpiece/probe. This screen is similar for the other vitrectomy probes,
and similar to the Momentary cut submode screen. The 3D submode has its own
unique screen that includes Treadle Start and Full Treadle settings for both vacuum
and cut rate (see Figure 11-11).
A cut-off max vacuum adjustment is provided for each Vit probe when the
Vit Cut-off Setpoint is enabled (see Figure 11-10). This option is enabled in the
doctor memory area (Options -> Memory -> Common -> Other) and the controls
function as follows:

Moment
The VIT: Momentary Cut submode has the same characteristics as the Prop Vac
submode, except that the cutter is activated when the applicable footpedal switch is
momentarily activated (the default activation switch is the footpedal's right horizontal
switch).

The Vitrectomy 3D submode has similar characteristics as the Prop Vac submode,
except that Vacuum delivered to the probe and the probe cutting rate are both
regulated by the amount of footpedal depression. The display contains adjustable
values for vacuum level at footpedal start, vacuum level at full depression; and cut
rate at footpedal start, cut rate at full depression.
Figure 11-11 VIT 3D MODE SCREEN - This screen shows the 3D submode. The footpedal controls
both proportional vacuum and proportional cut rate. Notice that vacuum begins at 0
mmHg and increases to 150 mmHg at full footpedal depression; while cut rate begins
at 800 cpm and decreases to 100 cpm at full footpedal depression. The vacuum and
cut rate settings are fully adjustable.

Scissors Mode Surgery Screen
The Scissors mode provides cutting capability using pneumatically or electrically

powered scissors controlled by the footswitch. The pneumatically powered scissors
uses a microscissors screwed onto the Alcon IOS handpiece, which is connected
via tubing to a front panel pneumatic port. The electrically powered MPC scissors
Scissors
handpiece plugs into a front panel electrical connector. Three submodes are available:
Prop (Proportional), Multi (Multiple Cut), and MPC (Membrane Peeler/Cutter).
Prop - The Proportional submode (see Figure 11-12) provides proportional control of
the opening and closing of the scissor blades, dependent upon the amount of footpedal
depression. The amount of scissors closure is indicated in the Pressure window. When
the footpedal is fully depressed, the Max Limit is reached, and scissors should be fully
closed. Max Limit pressure is adjustable with the Up/Down triangle keys.
Pressing Calibrate in the SCISSORS: Proportional screen activates the SCISSORS:

Calibration screen (see Figure 11-14), allowing the user to adjust the scissors Start and
Close Pressures with the Up/Down triangle keys, whether or not scissors are enabled
(footpedal is not required for calibration). The Start Pressure or Close Pressure
keys must be pressed to activate pressure through the tubing to the handpiece. If one
pressure is adjusted to equal the other, the pressures will automatically be adjusted so
the closed pressure is greater than the open pressure. Pressing the Default key sets the
pressures back to the factory defaults. Pressing the Surgery key closes this screen and
returns the operator to the SCISSORS: Proportional screen.
Multi and MPC - In the Multiple Cut or MPC submode pressing the footpedal
activates the scissors at a Cut Rate proportional to the footpedal position up to the
preset Max Limit, set by pressing the Up/Down triangle keys next to the Max Limit
readout. Single cuts are possible by adjusting the cut rate to a low Max Limit and
momentarily pressing the footpedal.
Figure 11-12 PROPORTIONAL SCISSORS SCREEN - Pressing down on the footpedal in this mode
provides proportional control of the closing of the scissor blades.

Accurus®
Pressing the Vacuum Max Limit key turns scissors OFF and activates proportional
vacuum for aspiration. When vacuum is operating the scissors can be momentarily
activated at the preset value when a footswitch switch is pressed (default is right
horizontal switch), and vacuum is controlled proportional to the amount of footpedal
depression up to its Max Limit.
WARNING!
Use of a MPC scissors handpiece at high cut rates continuously for over 2 1/2 minutes
can result in excessive handpiece heating. Allow the scissors to cool for approximately

Extrude Mode Surgery Screen
This mode provides vacuum from the cassette's red port through tubing to an
extrusion handpiece. Three submode vacuum levels are available: Low, Medium, and
High, with Medium as the default setting.
Extrude Depressing the footpedal activates vacuum proportional to pedal position. The preset
Max Limit, adjustable using the Up/Down triangle keys, is reached at full footpedal
depression. The preset maximum vacuum level can be adjusted with the footpedal in
any position.
NOTE: Whenever a vacuum surge is detected, or the cassette is being drained,

or the system runs a VAC check, the operator must remove his foot from the
footswitch treadle for vacuum to be re-activated.

VFC Mode Surgery Screen
The VFC (Viscous Fluid Control) mode provides pressure at the front panel VFC
connector for fluid injection (i.e., silicone oil), or vacuum for extraction, through
tubing to a syringe. Using vacuum the VFC mode also provides a means of extruding
fluid through an extrusion handpiece (in Dual submode injection and extrusion are
VFC performed simultaneously). Pressure and vacuum levels are adjustable via the Up/
Down triangle keys next to their Max Limit displays.
CAUTION
Always use Alcon-supplied Viscous Fluid Injector Paks and follow all Directions
for Use. Do not aspirate fluids directly into the console; this will cause damage to
the console, increase risk of electrical shock, and void all warranties.
Inject - In this submode injection pressure to the syringe is provided proportional to the
footpedal position up to the Max Limit setting.
WARNINGS!
• Double check the cannula connected to the syringe for a tight connection. It must
not be allowed to come loose.
• Adjust the Max Limit air pressure in accordance with the viscosity of fluids to be
injected. Excessively high settings may endanger the patient.

Dual - In the Dual submode injection and extrusion are performed simultaneously
using the syringe and extrusion handpiece. Pressing sideways on the footswitch
switches (default is left and right horizontal switches), or pressing the Max Limit
keys, turns the two individual functions on and off. In this submode, with both
functions enabled, injection pressure to the syringe in detent 1, then vacuum to the
extrusion handpiece in detent 2 (with sustained pressure to the syringe) is provided
proportional to the footpedal position (see Figure 1-7).
Figure 11-17 DUAL VFC INJECTION/EXTRUSION SCREEN - This screen indicates the system is
prepared to deliver a maximum of 50 psi to the injection syringe in footpedal detent
1, then sustained injection and a maximum of 250 mmHg extrusion.
Extract - Vacuum for fluid extraction is provided to the syringe proportional to

footpedal depression. Max Limit vacuum is reached at full depression.

The global keys, shown in Figure 2-9, are used to select global functions (except for
the Diathermy key which is always enabled for footswitch control). When selected,
the global function key is highlighted, the corresponding global parameter value
in the LED display is illuminated, and the console connector is illuminated to help
connect the accessory. The corresponding rubber arrow buttons are used to adjust the
global function parameter values, which change at a faster rate when the key is held
down. The preset parameter values are displayed on the LED displays.
Five global functions, accessed by pressing their icon keys on the left side of the
touch screen, are unique to the system's posterior domain.
• Infusion: CVGFI or Power IV Pole (mmHg or cmH2O)

• F/AX Infusion (mmHg)
• Diathermy (%)
Infusion - The top global selection on the touch screen is enabled in the posterior
domain. When CVGFI is selected in the Irrigation/Infusion Settings screen, the
Accurus® low pressure air supply provides regulated pressure into the infusion
mmHg bottle and to the F/AX stopcock. Alternate infusion pressure, set and enabled in
OR the Irrigation/Infusion Settings screen, is activated by pressing a switch on the
footswitch. If Power Pole is the selected infusion method, this control is used to set
the desired infusion pressure which automatically sets the power IV pole height. If
Gravity is selected, infusion value is non-adjustable (manually adjusted gravity fed
infusion is independent of the Accurus® system).
mmHg
Irrigation - The second global selection from the top turns continuous irrigation
ON in the anterior submode domain (Phaco, I/A, Wet Ant). Pressing it again turns
continuous irrigation OFF. CVGFI utilizes the Accurus® low pressure air supply to
cmH20 provide regulated pressure into the irrigation bottle. Alternate irrigation pressure, set
and enabled in the Irrigation Settings screen, is activated by pressing the footswitch's
OR
right vertical switch. If Power Pole is the selected irrigation method, this control is
used to set the desired irrigation pressure which automatically sets the cart's power
pole height. If Gravity is selected in phaco and I/A modes, this global key can be
used to turn continuous irrigation on and off (manually adjusted gravity fed irrigation
mmHg is independent of the Accurus® system).
F/AX Infusion - While in a posterior submode domain (Frag, Scissors, Extrude, VFC,
non-anterior Vit modes) and using either Power Pole or Gravity infusion, selecting
F/AX (Fluid/Air Exchange) cancels infusion and places the global F/AX key in the
second position from the top. F/AX utilizes the Accurus® low pressure air supply to
provide regulated pressure into the eye. Using a CVGFI tubing set you can provide
mmHg air to the eye through its stopcock valve. Alternate F/AX pressure, chosen in the
Irrigation/Infusion Settings screen, is activated by pressing a footswitch switch.

instructions below to change fuses.
CAUTION
The Accurus® system is shipped with a kit containing the fuses and fuse carriers
used for 220-230-240 VAC. Prior to applying power levels of 220-230-240 VAC
the fuses must be changed or DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
Replace Fuses
1. Unplug power cord from main power connector on rear panel.
2. Using a flat tip screwdriver, turn 2 fuse carriers 1/4 turn CCW and remove from
power supply (see Figure 15-1).

ILLUMINATOR BULB REPLACEMENT
To ensure secondary illuminator source availability at all times, replace a burned out
bulb immediately upon completion of surgery (not included in 200PS system).
WARNING!
The illuminator bulbs become extremely hot. Never handle a bulb until it has cooled
considerably from its operating temperature. Do not touch bulb directly with fingers
at any time!
1. Push the Illuminator release button on the rear panel to eject illuminator drawer.
2. Pull the illuminator drawer out to full extension. Do not attempt to remove the
burnt bulb until it is cool to the touch.
3. Using a soft cloth or protective glove, grip the bulb at its base and pull out of
socket. Discard bulb.
4. Using a soft cloth or glove, insert the new bulb's two leads into the two holes of
the socket. Press the bulb down until it is fully inserted into the socket. Gently
clean any smudges or dirt from the bulb with a soft cloth.
CAUTION
Handling bulb with bare hands can reduce brightness and life of the bulb.
5. Ensure bulb is straight (see Figure 15-2). To do this, look into the fiber optic
illuminator probe receptacle; the bulb filament should be centered within the
receptacle.
6. Gently push illuminator drawer back into its receptacle. The illuminator is now
ready for use.

SECTION SEVENTEEN
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
CART WITH IV POLE
General Information
The Accurus® Cart with IV Pole is used to support and transport all models of the
Accurus® console, and in addition it is designed to carry the Eyelite® laser console.
The IV Pole is available in either manual or power adjustment models. Throughout
the section of the manual, all information pertains to both models except when noted
otherwise.
The cart incorporates several features to accommodate accessories and ancillary

products. Accessories, the various devices that attach to the Accurus® console, include
the following:
• EyeLite® Laser
• Footswitches for the Accurus® and EyeLite® systems
• Remote Control
• Ultrasonic handpieces
• Scissors handpiece and tubing
The cart’s four, double wheel caster wheels roll silently and never require lubrication.
All four wheels swivel, and the two rear wheels are the locking type.
The Accurus® cart accommodates infusion/irrigation by both the I/V Pole gravity
method and the gas forced infusion/irrigation method (VGFI™*, AVGFI, or CVGFI).
Figure 17-1 THE MOBILE CART (Power IV Pole model shown) - The mobile cart, shown here with the Accurus®
system mounted in position on the top, offers system mobility for the surgical staff. The retractable
drop panel on the front of the cart is shut in this illustration, hiding and protecting the EyeLite® laser.
8065750203
Accurus®
Accurus® Console and EyeLite® Laser Mounting

The Accurus® console is secured to the top of the cart with threaded knobs screwed
up from under the top cover of the cart and into the bottom of the Accurus® console.
The Eyelite® laser sits on a flat, enclosed shelf under the Mayo tray. The shelf can
serve as a storage area in case no EyeLite® is used.
Cabling and Interconnections

On Power IV Pole models a cable from the power IV pole exits the rear of the cart
and must be routed through a cable raceway. The connector is plugged into the Power
IV Pole connector on the Accurus® rear panel.
The Accurus® power cord, compressed air hose, and footswitch cable are secured
to the back of the cart with cable raceways. When moving the cart from room to
room there are cable cleats to wind the Accurus® and EyeLite® power cords, and the
Accurus® air hose.
The Accurus® and EyeLite® footswitch cables exit the systems and enter the bottom
drawer at the rear of the cart. The front of the drawer is notched for the cables so the
drawer can be shut when the footswitches are removed for use; when not in use the
footswitches and cables are stored in the drawer.

Cart Features
Writing Tablet
A retractable tablet on top of the cart slides left or right for a nurse to use as a writing
station. When not in use the tablet can be secured in the closed position so it does not
protrude in either direction. The tablet cannot be completely pulled out and removed.
Mayo Tray
To accommodate surgical procedures the cart contains a reusable and autoclavable
Mayo instrumentation tray. When extended from the front of the cart, the Mayo tray
is adjustable from 32 to 38 inches above the floor.
Storage Shelves and Drawers

The cart contains a shelf below the Mayo tray to accommodate the EyeLite® laser. A
panel at the rear of this shelf is removable to allow access to the rear connector panel
of the EyeLite® laser. If an EyeLite® laser is not used, the panel remains installed,
making the space more useable for storage. A retractable drop panel covers the shelf
opening in the front of the cart.
There is a drawer on the front of the cart to store the Accurus® and EyeLite®
footswitches/cables. The front of the drawer is notched so the cables can exit the cart
when removing a footswitch for use, and the drawer can be shut. There is another
drawer located at the back of the cart for storing handpieces and the remote control.
Power IV Pole
The power IV pole, equipped with two hooks to accommodate infusion/irrigation
fluid, rises and descends at the push of the Accurus® system's infusion/irrigation global
function buttons. Setting a desired fluid pressure automatically establishes power IV
pole bottle heights that produce specific fluid pressures (5 mmHg to 85 mmHg).
The pole is connected to the Accurus® console via a cable from the cart's rear panel.
The global function LED readout on the Accurus® console provides a readout of the
selected hydrostatic pressure, and the readout blinks while the pole is moving.
NOTES: In the event that the power IV pole hits an obstruction, such as another
piece of equipment or the ceiling, the motor will stall in a safe manner. If there
is a power outage the IV pole will remain extended and will not lose its original
location when power is restored.
The power IV pole will halt movement in the event the user activates MPC
scissors cutting and/or attempts to load/eject the cassette. The IV pole will resume
movement when scissors cutting is stopped or the cassette is loaded/ejected.
See sections three, seven, and eleven in this manual for details of power pole operation
using the Accurus® front panel up/down arrow buttons and graphical user interface.
WARNING!
Keep hands away from IV pole during movement to prevent inadvertent pinching.
Cart Features continued on next page
8065750203
Accurus®
Manual IV Pole
The Manual IV pole, equipped with two hooks to accommodate infusion/irrigation fluid,
can be manually adjusted to accommodate specific fluid pressures (5 mmHg to 85
mmHg). It can reach various heights by loosening the locking collar around the pole,
adjusting the bottle hanger to the desired height, then tightening the locking collar.
VGFI™*/AVGFI/CVGFI Bottle Hanger

For very low gravity infusion/irrigation pressures, or when using Vented Gas Forced
Infusion, the bottle may be suspended from the manually-adjusted bottle hanger.
Various heights are reached by twisting a locking collar around the pole, adjusting the
bottle hanger to the desired height, then tightening the locking collar. For Vented Gas
Forced Infusion the center of the drip chamber should be placed at patient eye level.
The bottle hanger can be located on either side of the cart. To remove the bottle
hanger, loosen the collar and lift the bottle hanger to the maximum height until a stop
is felt. Loosen the collar several more turns. Using a little force, pull the bottle hanger
straight out. To reinstall it on the opposite side of the cart, loosen the collar several
turns. Using a little force, push the bottle hanger into the opening until the knurled
end of the bottle hanger is well advanced inside the collar. Adjust it to the correct
height and tighten the collar.
Cleaning
All external console, cart, and pole surfaces are wipeable with a cloth containing a
mild detergent solution, isopropyl alcohol, or a germicidal solution such as Cidex.

VIDEOVERLAY PARAMETERS SYSTEM
Overview
The VideOverlay Parameters System (VOPS) accepts operating parameters from
the Accurus® system and overlays that information onto video accepted from the
microscope camera. The VOPS system then outputs a video signal to a monitor and/or
VCR for retrospective viewing.
There are two possibilities for VOPS setup: Standard and Super VHS. The two
possibilities are described in this section of the manual.
WARNINGS!
To prevent electrical shock, do not remove cover. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
The VideOverlay must be plugged into an appropriate wall outlet and be positioned
at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) away from the patient.
The VOPS display is for information purposes only, and is not intended to substitute
for the Accurus® display.
CAUTION
Use only Alcon-supplied cable to connect the VideOverlay to the Accurus®
system. Accurus® and Legacy® cables are not interchangeable.
NOTE: This unit is not a medical device and should be located/stored with other
video equipment (i.e., VCR, monitor, etc.). When connected to the Accurus®
system, the VideOverlay unit does not increase the leakage current of the
Accurus® system.
