Operator Profile
The Constellarion® Vision System is designed to be operated by two basic groups; surgeons and
nurses/scrub techs. The surgeon focus is primarily constrained to the footswitch and display panel,
‘The design of the footswitch allows the surgcon to map any function to any switch position, assuming,
the function is valid in a particular scenario. ‘The display sereen was designed to mount on an
articulating arm to allow optimum placement of the display so the surgeon ean reference it at any
time, The design also incorporates items specifically for nurses and scrub technicians, who routinely
control the machine via the front panel and remote control. The design incorporates color coding on
all connectors and tubing to facilitate easy identification of the ports. In addition, the graphical user
interface closely resembles controls commonly found on web sites, which this operator profile is
expected to be highly proficient at using.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Introduction
Figure 1-1
8065762281
‘The Constellation® Vision System is a multifunctional surgical instrument for use
in anterior and posterior segment ophthalmic surgeries. The product’s capabilities
include driving a variety of handpieces that 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.
Irrigation/infusion capability is provided to replace fluid in the eye, and enters the
eye directly through either an infusion cannula or a handpiece. The graphical operator
interface is menu driven. The operator provides inputs using the touchscreen panel,
the remote control, and the footswitch.
An optional, fully integrated laser module is available that can be installed in
the base. The laser delivers a visible 532 nm green treatment beam designed for
ophthalmic use.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS - PRESSURIZED INFUSION/IIRRIGATION SOLUTIONS IN BAGS
When using the Constellation® Vision System in a pressurized infusion/irrigation
mode, or with IOP Control feature enabled, users need to take precautions to NOT use
BSS® intigating solution or other infusion/itrigation mediums from pliable, collapsible
containers (i.¢. bags). The Constellation® system, when used in these pressurized
modes, forces pressure into the infusion/irrigation container in order to force the
solution out of the container and into the cassette. ‘The pressure employed by the
Constellation® system may cause some infusion/irrigation bags to rupture and cause
disruption of the surgical procedures. Only glass containers should be used with the
Constellation® Vision System when employing modalities of pressurized infusion/
inrigation,

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS - PATIENT E)
E LEVEL/INFUSION PRESSURE
Patient eye level relative to the cassette can affect the infusion pressure being
delivered to the eye. Be sure to enter the Patient Eye Level Offset to ensure that the
displayed console readings reflect the true pressure being delivered to the eye.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS - PROBES AND HANDPIECES
WARNING!
If in the medical opinion of the physician a patient with a prion related disease
undergoes a high tisk procedure, the instrument should be destroyed or be
processed according to local requirements.
Vitreous Probes
Do not operate vitreous probes in air, This could result in performance degradation
and/or potential hazard.
Ultrasonic (L/S) Handpicces
The OZil® torsional and high performance U/S handpieces are surgical instruments
and must be handled with care, The handpiece tip should not touch any solid object
while in operation. Immediately following surgery the handpiece must be thoroughly
cleaned. Be sure the cord plug is completely dry before connecting it to console. For
cleaning and sterilization procedures, see the Directions for Use (DFU) supplied with
the handpiece.
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.
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.
The OZil® torsional and U/S handpieces must be at room temperature just before
use, Allow the handpiece to air cool for at least 15 minutes after autoclaving; never
immerse the handpiece in liquid when hot. Power loss may occur if handpiece tip is,
not securely tightened into Fragmentation and Phaco handpieces.
CAUTION
Never ultrasonically clean the Fragmentation, OZil® torsional and ultrasonic
handpleces; irreparable damage will result.
Ensure that test chamber is filled with BSS® sterile irrigating solution before tuning the
(0Zi#® torsional and U/S handpieces. Tuning a handpiece dry may result in premature
tip failure and breakage.
Do not test or operate the OZif® torsional and U/S handpieces unless the tip is
immersed in BSS® sterile irrigating solution or distilled water or is in surgical use.
Irreparable damage to the handpiece and tip can result if run dry.
3085752281Constellation® Vision System
WARNINGS!
Use of the OZil® torsional and U/S handplece in the absence of irrigation flow and!
‘rin the presence of reduced or lost aspiration flow can cause excessive heating
and potential corneal and/or scleral buns.
Use of the Fragmentation handplece in the absence of aspiration flow can cause
excessive heating and potential scleral burns.
Use of an ultrasonic handpiece other than the OZi® torsional or UIS, or use of a
handpiece repaired without Aicon authorization, is not permitted, and may result
in patient injury, including potential shock hazard to patient andior operator.
Prior to sterilization, the OZ/I@ torsional and U/S handpieces should always have
the connector end cap secured and placed in the sterilization tray. This will prevent
damage to the connectors and handpieces during handling, and especially during
autoclaving.
Quenching a hot handpiece in water can cause damage and will void warranty.
Be sure handpiece is completely dry before connecting it to console. Damage to
handpiece and console may result if plugged in when wet.
The UIS tips supplied in the Constellation® Vision System packs are only to be
used on the OZif® torsional or U/S handpieces. Each UIS tip is intended to be used
only once percase, and then disposed of according to local governing ordinances.
Good clinical practice dictates testing for adequate irrigation, aspiration flow,
reflux, and operation as applicable for each handpiece prior to entering eye.
Appropriate use of Constellation® Vision System parameters and accessories is
important for successful procedures. Use of low vacuum limits, low flow rates,
low irrigation pressure, high power settings, extended power
usage during occlusion conditions (beeping tones), failure to sufficiently aspirate
viscoelastic prior to using power, excessively tight incisions, and combinations,
of the above actions may result in significant temperature increases at incision
site and inside the eye, and lead to severe thermal eye tissue damage
Directing energy toward non-lens material, such as iris or capsule, may cause
‘mechanical and/or thermal tissue damage.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS - 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 of a tool other than tip
‘wrenches supplied by Alcon may cause damage to the tip and/or handpiece.
WARNING!
Use 0.9 mm tips with 0.9 mm infusion sleeves. Use 4.1 mm tips with 4.1 mm
infusion sleeves. Mismatch of consumable components and use of settings not
specially adjusted for a particular combination of consumable components may
create a patient hazard.
Poor clinical performance will result if tip is not secured tightly to the handpiece,

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS - DIATHERMY FUNCTION
‘e085 752231
‘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.
See Figures 1-4 through 1-6 for diathermy power specifications.
WARNING!
+ Donot use the diathermy function on patients with pacemakers or implanted
defibriliatory 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 andits
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. In this event the following advisory is
displayed: “Handpiece power Is too high. Release footswitch button/treadie
and try again.”
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 (N20)
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.
1.19Constelation® Vision System
+ 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.
+ Accessories of the Diathermy function should have a rated voltage equal to or
greater than the maximum diathermy output voltage.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS - ILLUMINATOR FUNCTION
WARNINGS!
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,
‘The bulb of the xenon lamp is under constant high pressure. There is a risk it may
burst with explosive force if knocked or damaged. Protective measures:
~ Keep the lamp in its protective sleeve at all times during installation

{f the optional illuminator is not installed inside the Constellation® system base,
be sure that your surgical set-up includes a back-up source for illumination,
Use of controls or adjustments, or performances of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous light exposure.
To minimize hazardous light exposure, operate light source at lowest intensity
setting consistent with adequate visibility of the surgical area.
Light output from a new lamp may greatly exceed the output from an old lamp.
Adjust to lower settings after installing a new lamp.
Do not use this light source in the presence of flammable substances.
The fiber optic endoilluminator probe connector and receptacle may be hot.
Before each use, visually inspect the outer surface of the distal tip of the fiber
‘optic endoilluminator probe that will be inserted into the patient to ensure that
there are no unintended foreign materials, rough surfaces, sharp edges, or
protrusions, that may cause patient injury.
Potentially hazardous radiated light is transmitted from the fiber optic
endoilluminator probe. Refer to Retina Risk Factors to Consider During
Operation of the Constellation® illuminator in this section of the manual for
advice on how to minimize the effects of the light intensity used.
Avold operation of any fiber in air on consoles capable of illumination levels

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS - IOP (INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE)
‘The closed loop system that adjusts JOP cannot replace the standard of care in judging
IOP intraoperatively. The surgeon must continue the common practice of informally
judging IOP using the following:
Finger palpation on the globe
* Tactile feedback of the surgical instruments (eye wall deformation with
‘manipulation of instruments)
‘+ Retinal vessel perfusion/pulsations
+ Presence of comeal edema
If the surgeon believes the JOP (using the techniques above) is not responding to the
system settings and is dangerously high, this may represent a system failure. The
surgeon can do one or more of the following as they deem appropriate in this situation
(with care to avoid sudden hypotony):
+ Close the infusion stop-cock
‘+ Pinch the infusion line
* Remove the infusion line from the sclerotomy
NOTE: To ensure proper IOP Compensation calibration, place infusion tubing
and infusion canula on a sterile draped tray at mid-cassette level during the
priming cycle.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS - LASERS
‘The footswitch, endoprobe, and LIO should be placed within 2 meters of the
Constellation® Vision System
WARNINGS!
‘Thereare potential hazards when inserting, steeply bonding, or improperly securing
the fiberoptic. Not following the recommendations of the manufacturer may lead
to damage of the fiber or delivery system and/or harm to the patient or user.
Since the aiming beam passes down the same delivery system as the treatment
beam, it provides a good method of checking the integrity of the delivery system.
If the aiming beam spot is not present at the distal end of the delivery system,
or its intensity is reduced or it looks diffused, this is a possible Indication of a
damaged or not properly working delivery system. If there is any doubt, contact
Alcon Technical Services.
The use of flammable anesthetics or oxidizing gases such as nitrous oxide (N20)
and oxygen should be avoided. Some materials - for example cotton woo! when
saturated with oxygen-may be ignited by the high temperatures producedin normal
use of the laser equipment, The solvents of adhesives and flammable solutions
used for cleaning and disinfecting should be allowed to evaporate before the
laser equipment is used. There is also danger of ignition of endogenous gases.
Diathermy, Cautery, Coagulation
In the past, some of Alcon’s products have referred to the feature “Cautery”
or "Coagulation." The Constellation® Vision 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.

ILLUMINATOR PROFESSIONAL USER'S INFORMATION:
RETINA RISK FACTORS TO CONSIDER DURING OPERATION OF THE
CONSTELLATION® ILLUMINATOR
Spectral Output
The Constellation® illuminator comes equipped with internally- integrated, non-
selectable, UV/IR filtration, No removable filters are used in the Constellation®
illuminator since the retinal hazard is maintained at the levels specified by ISO
15752-2005.
The Constellation® illuminator output spectrum complies with the requirements
of ISO 15752-2005: “Ophthalmic Instruments - Endoilluminators - Fundamental
Requirements and Test Methods for Optical Radiation Safety.” The Constellation®
illuminator does not rely on fiber optic endoilluminator probe absorption to comply
with spectral output requirements of ISO 15752-2005. It delivers light at the fiber
optic illuminator connector within the spectrum recommended by ISO 15752-2005.
Spectrally- Weighted Aphakic Irradiance
‘Aphakic irradiance for the Constellation® illuminator was determined using
approved fiber optic endoilluminator probes approved for use with the Constellarion®
illuminator. The value for Spectrally-Weighted Aphakic Irradiance (SWAN of the
endoilluminator was determined with an effective 3 mm-diameter aperture at a
distance of 5 mm in a plane perpendicular to the radiating fiber optic endoilluminator
probe tip.
Output Limits
‘To avoid potentially unsafe operations of the Constellation® illuminator, the
system will warn or prevent the user when certain thresholds are exceeded. The
Constellation® illuminator limits output and aphakic weighted irradiance to stay
within safe limits based on the type of fiber used. Using RFID, the type of fiber is
detected by reading information from the RFID tag within the inserted fiber probe.
Utilizing the fiber type information the Constellation® illuminator sets a series of
fimits on output. Four separate thresholds are used:
Damage Limit - The Damage Limit corresponds to the maximum output of the
illuminator that any given RFID recognized fiber can be safely operated without
risking damage to the probe while operation in air. When the intensity of the output
of the Constellation® illuminator is increased by the user beyond the damage limit,
a pop up message is displayed that warns the user “Further increasing the output
level in air can damage fiber tips. Would you like to continue?” If the user presses
the [Yes] button, the request (turning on illuminator, changing the set point while
the illuminator is on, or changing procedures while the illuminator is on) will be
granted, If the user presses the [No] button, the system state will be unchanged. No
interactions with the illuminators are allowed while the advisory is being displayed
‘e065752281Constetiatfon® Vision System
Soft Limit - The Soft Limit for any given RFID recognized fiber corresponds
toa peak aphakic weighted irradiance of 100.98 mW/em2 for a nominal fiber
optic endoilluminator probe at a distance of 5 mm from the exiting aperture. The
Constellations® system display is scaled so that the level will display 100% at the
soft limit, When the output intensity of the Constellation® illuminator is increased
by the user beyond the soft limit, a pop up message is displayed which warns the
user “Further increasing the output level will reduce exposure time by 35%. Would
you like to continue?” If the user presses the [Yes] button, the request (turning on
illuminator, changing the setpoint while the illuminator is on, or changing procedures
while the illuminator is on) will be granted. If the user presses the [No] button,
the system state will be unchanged. If the advisory was brought up as a result of a
procedure change, the setpoint(s) that exceeded the limit will remain at the previous
value. No interactions with the illuminators are allowed while the advisory is being.
displayed,
Hard Limit - The Hard Limit for any given RFID recognized fiber corresponds to
a peak aphakic weighted irradiance of 115.85 mW/cm2 for a nominal fiber optic
endoilluminator probe at a distance of 5 mm from the exiting aperture, The displayed
intensity percentage output of the Constellation® illuminator is scaled so that 115%
corresponds the Hard Limit for that fiber. The user is not given the ability to exceed
this limit.
Port Limits - To further avoid potentially unsafe operation, the Constellation®
illuminator will prevent more than two illuminator ports from being turned on at the
same time. If the user attempts to tum on a third port, a pop up message is displayed
which warns the user “Only two illuminators can be turned on simultaneously.”

LASER SAFETY
General Safety Precautions (Refer to TEC 60825-1 or ANSI Z136.1)
+ Alaser safety officer should be appointed to supervise the installation and use of
the system.
+ Install an indicator light outside the laser room warning of instrument operation,
+ Position all beam delivery devices (e.g. LIO, endo-probes) so that the laser beam
is never directed toward a door, window, or reflective surface.
* Use non-reflective matte finish wall paint.
* Avoid covering laser room floor and walls with carpet or any other dust
generating material. This will minimize the possibility of excess grime and dust
on the instrument optics, and interference with equipment cooling.
‘+ The instrument requires a minimum of 0.5 meter of open space on all sides for
proper cooling ventilation; therefore, the system should be set flat, resting on the

Laser Safety Features
‘The Constellation® Vision System Laser is designed for the highest degree of
reliability and safety for both the operator and the patient. Any misuse of this laser
system may be dangerous. Before using the laser system, the operator must be
familiar with the commands and the operation of this type of instrument.
The Constellation® Vision System Laser is fitted with the following safety systems
which must be understood by every operator:
* A protective housing covers the laser source so that no harmful laser radiation will
be emitted. No part of this protective housing should be removed by the operator.
‘The laser system must not be used if the protective housing has been damaged or
removed.
+ Aremote connection (interlock) is located on the rear panel and permits the
installation of an external switch. This switch can be installed on the Taser room
door and cuts off all Jaser emissions in case the door is opened during operation.
‘There is also a connector linked to an internal relay to activate a door warning
lamp if desired.
Akkey switch controls the laser power supply. Laser operation is not possible if
the key has been removed. Access to the key should be limited to authorized and
knowledgeable personnel. The key should not be left on or near the instrument
when not in use.
+ During operation, laser status can be determined by visually checking the display
to determine the laser mode: Standby or Ready.
+ An emergency switch is mounted on the front panel. Pushing this switch will cut
off all laser emissions (treatment and aiming beam) at any time. The switch must
be pulled out to the initial position to restore power. The laser will always restart
in Standby mode,
+ Laser firing commands are microprocessor controlled and firings are prevented
should any malfunction be detected in the instrument electronics. The instrument
will only fire when all conditions are correct.
+ Output power of the laser beam is continuously monitored and controlled. In
case an unusual power condition is detected, firing stops and the treatment laser
emission is cut off,
8085752281
131Consteilation® Vision System
Effects
The laser beam is primarily absorbed by pigmented tissues within the eye, These
primary pigments are hemoglobin/oxy-hemoglobin and melanin. In the case of
‘macular treatment, xanthophyll pigment is involved. The surgeon controls the power,
spot size, and exposure time of the delivered laser beam to the targeted tissue. It is
the combination of these effects that results in the thermal action of the laser beam
upon tissue. One or all of the adjustable parameters can be changed. However, in
normal clinical practice, power is usually varied, and spot size and exposure time are
preset as a function of the application.
‘The 532 nm green laser beam has similar absorption characteristics to the 577 nm dye
yellow laser beam?. This means that the absorption effects of the 532 nm wavelength
are considerably higher in hemoglobin and melanin, and less in xanthophyll. In
all cases, it is necessary to perform titrations until the desired treatment results are
obtained, The 532 wavelength also requires less power than that required with the
argon laser to obtain similar results. Therefore, you should begin your titration levels
with lower power than required for similar procedures with the argon laser.
WARNING!
Failure to titrate delivered energy may result in patient injury.
Use of this medical laser, as with any other instrument, requires training and
experience to obtain maximum clinical performance. Titrating the dosage is
recommended by initiating’a lesion formation in an area of normal retina with intact
pigment epithelium. Power and exposure duration should be varied incrementally
‘until the desired lesion is produced.
WARNING!
Hfunsure which settings are required, select low power, short duration, and large
‘spot size. Failure to do so may result in patient injury.
Delivery of Laser Energy
The laser beam is delivered to tissue via an endoprobe, illuminated endoprobe,
aspirating endoprobe, or Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscope (LIO). Reaction to applied
laser energy by the eye is a function of many variables.
‘The pigmentation of the eye, technique or procedure used, laser settings, and pre-
existing condition of the eye, such as cataract, will have an effect on the selected laser
parameters and the results obtained. Therefore, itis very important to consider all the
existing clinical conditions and titrate until the desired results are obtained.
Always use minimal illumination while maintaining good visualization in order to
reduce reflections and discomfort for the patient. Likewise, the aiming beam should
be used at a minimum setting while maintaining proper targeting of the selected
tissue. This will also minimize excessive reflections and scattering, particularly at
smaller spot sizes,
Tae
"8065752251CConstettation® Vision System
Doctor Protection Filter
The Constellation® Vision System laser can only be fired when appropriate steps are
taken to ensure that a doctor's filter is placed in the viewing device (e.g. surgical
microscope, etc.). The Constellation® Vision System laser supports two types of
doctor filters:
+ Non-tethered with fixed filter in viewing path.
Tethered with manual switch to place filters in and out of the viewing path.
The doctor protection filter must remain in the beam path during treatment, enabling
the targeted tissue to be seen with complete protection for the operator. ‘The filter has
virtually no effect on visualization (colored** view only).
Rotation of the tethered filter with manual switch in or out of the beam path is,
accomplished by means of a lever located on the right side of the filter. Note that if
the doctor protection filter is in the open position in endo modes, the laser will not
fire and the message “Please Engage Dr. Filter” will appear. Rotate the filter lever
clockwise until the doctor protection filter is in the beam path and the message clears.
Hf using a non-tethered fixed filter, and the system is switched from Standby to Ready
mode, the message "Verify appropriate Dr. Filters are installed in all viewing devices"
appears and the user must verify before the laser can switch to Ready mode.
If two tethered filters are in place (see rear panel description), both filters must be
switched into the beam path before the laser will operate. Switching either filter
out of the beam path while the laser is in Ready mode switches the laser to Standby
mode immediately. Inserting a filter tether into the machine while itis in Ready
mode switches the machine back to Standby mode until all tethered filters have been
verified to be in place.
WARNING!
Do not attempt treatment if aiming beam is not present. Patient injury may occur.
The aiming beam passes down the same delivery system as the working beam;
this provides a good method of checking the integrity of the delivery system. If
the aiming beam spot is not present at the distal end of the delivery system, if
reduced, or if looks diffused, these are possible indications of a
damaged or not-properly-working delivery system.
Nower Doctor Protection Fiters will have les tint than older ones.

‘Treatment Hazards
A single treatment exposure will typically cause a blanching of target tissue. Exposure
duration can be adjusted from 0.01 seconds to 2.0 seconds to result in the desired
effect. A continuous treatment beam can also be selected.
NOTE: In CW, depending on the thermal load of the system, the system may
shut down in safety mode prior to the footswitch being released.
Excessive combinations of power and exposure can cause undesirable tissue
vaporization and charring. Reports | through 6 (listed as footnotes at the end of this
section) indicate these hazards are no different from adverse effects from continuous
wave argon lasers used at these same settings, No evidence of non-thermal effects has
been observed.
Contra Indications
Patients with a condition that prevents visualization of target tissue (cloudy cornea,
or extreme haze of the aqueous humor of the anterior chamber or vitreous humor) are
poor candidates for LIO delivered laser treatment.
Side Effects
Comeal burns, inflammation, loss of best-corrected visual acuity, loss of visual field,
and transient elevations in intraocular pressure can occur as a result of ophthalmic
Jaser treatment. Unintentional retinal burns can occur if excessive treatment beam.
power or duration is used
Laser Safety
Back scattered radiation is of low intensity and is not harmful when viewed through
a protective filter. All personnel in the treatment room must wear protective eyewear,
OD4 or above at 532 nm, when the system is in Standby/Ready mode as well as
during treatment. The doctor protection filter is an OD greater than 4 at $32 nm.
WARNING!
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
‘specified herein, may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
CAUTION
Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by, or on the order of, a physician.

DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
“The Constellation® Vision System is a multi microprocessor-controlled ophthalmic
surgical instrument with associated memory and input/output (/O) circuitry.
‘The system communicates with the user via its Front Panel display, with voice
confirmations, and with tones.
‘An automatic self-test is initiated each time the system power is turned on. If the
system does not pass the self-test, either a Fault screen or an error message is
displayed depending upon the cause of the issue. When the system successfully
completes the self-test, it automatically goes into the Setup mode.
‘This section of the manual describes the system hardware, the user interface, and the
accessories that may by used with the system.
FRONT PANEL
Fluidies Module
‘The fluidics module is located in the center of the front panel. The module allows fast
and easy insertion of the cassette that contains all the fluidics connections required for
surgery.
Front Display Panel and ‘Touch Seren
The 17-inch front display panel tilts and extends forward to allow casy positioning
during setup and surgery. The front display is the user's main source of system
control, allowing fingertip command of system functions throughout the enhanced
graphical user interface.
A data card slot is located just beneath the LCD display. A data card (SD Memory
Card) can be inserted into this slot when the user wants to back up or restore
system settings. A 2 GB SD memory card is the maximum size that the system will
recognize. Larger capacity memory cards are not recognizable by the system and if
inserted, will lock up the system until removed.
Pneumatic and Electrical Connectors
‘The Constellation® Vision System console contains two vertical columns of connectors,
located on the left side of the eassette, for surgical probes and handpieces. ‘The right
‘column is for pneumatic probes, and the left column is for electrical handpieces.
LED Rings - The rings surrounding each front panel connector automatically
illuminate in a particular color to guide the user in making the proper connection to
the system as follows:
+ Blue ~ A surgical tool is selected by the user in Setup or a surgical tool i
to the current Step in surgery.
+ Groen - The system has detected that the appropriate surgical tool has been
connected to the port.
+ Amber - The system has detected, via RFID, a surgical tool that is not appropriate
for the port or is invalid for other reasons.

FOOTSWITCH
Functional operations of the Constellation® Vision System console ate controlled by
the footswitch shown in Figure 2-3. The footswitch consists of a treadle, left and right
horizontal/vertical switches, left and right heel switches, and a tension adjustment
knob. An advisory popup window is displayed if the footswitch is not connected.
Generally, the treadle is used to provide control of a parameter, such as vacuum, with
the treadle's angle of depression proportional to the parameter output. In some modes
of operation, the treadle is used to provide on/off control of a function, with any
depression resulting in a fixed output of its parameter,
‘The footswitch treadle is used in a mode-dependent fashion during system operation.
In U/S mode for example, when the treadle is depressed its range of travel is divided
into ranges 0, 1,2 and 3. Bach range is separated from the previous range by a
detent. Detent firmness levels are programmable in the Doctor Settings menu which
is discussed later in this section of the manual (see Settings). The footswitch icon
located in the upper left comer of the screen displays the current treadle position,
Right and left switches are used to enable and disable system functions. The switches
are nudged sideways (horizontal) for some funetions, and pressed down (vertical) for
others,
‘The tension adjustment knob, located on the front of the footswitch, is used to adjust
the pressure needed to depress the treadle,
CAUTION
Never pick up or move the footswitch by holding the cable. Damage may result.

GLOBAL CONTROLS
The Globals area of the screen allows the user to control certain functions that are
available in any of the system states (Setup, Surgery, and End Case). Global functions
can typically be turned on or off independently of other surgical functions (vacuum,
U/S power, ete.) although in some cases global functions are required to be on in
order to perform surgery. When a global function is on, the On/Off button is green
and the background becomes lighter in color.
Infusion Global Control
‘The Infusion global control (see Figure 2-28) is a dual function that controls both
infusion and JOP Compensation (if enabled in the Options/Doctor/Surgical popup).
‘The infusion global control allows the user to:
* Turn infusion On/Off.
+ Adjust infusion setpoints
‘+ Enable IOP Compensation mode (secondary function buttons).
* Display more information that allows the user to casily make detailed changes to
the infusion settings.
‘The Elevated Infusion Timer is displayed when infusion rises above the setpoint
entered in the Surgical Options popup (Options/Doctor/Surgical). It displays the
amount of time infusion has been elevated above the setpoint.
WARNING!
The closed loop system that adjusts IOP cannot replace the standard of care in
Judging IOP intraoperatively. The surgeon must continue the common practice
of informally judging 1OP using the following:
Finger palpation on the globe
Tactile feedback of the surgical instruments (eye wall deformation with
manipulation of instruments)
Retinal vessel perfusion/pulsations
Presence of comeal edema
Ifthe surgeon believes the IOP (using the techniques above) is not responding to
the system settings and is dangerously high, this may represent a system failure.
‘The surgeon can do one or more of the following as they deem appropriate in this
situation (with care to avoid sudden hypotony):
+ Close the infusion stop-cock
+ Pinch the infusion line
+ Remove the infusion line from the sclerotomy
‘The More Information popup for Infusion allows the user to quickly set values for its
two different set points:
+ Regular infusion - Infusion value the system will go to upon entering infusion
mode,
+ Alternate infusion - Infusion value the system will go to when the footswitch

PHACO MODE
Phaco mode provides phacoemulsification capabilities by using U/S (ultrasound)
powered handpieces controlled by the footswitch, Phaco power is defined as being
proportional to ultrasound displacement of the phaco tip. Amplitude of the ultrasound
displacement of the phaco tip is proportional to the ultrasound power displayed on the
console front panel.
When the U/S handpiece is selected, imigation, aspiration, and phaco power are
provided to the handpiece tip. Phaco power is defined as being proportional to
ultrasound displacement of the phaco tip. Amplitude of the ultrasound displacement
of the phaco tip is proportional to the ultrasound power displayed on the console
front panel. The user has the ability to adjust the aspiration rate, vacuum levels, and
phaco power at any time during the surgical procedure via their respective adjustment
arrows or remote control.
‘The phaco Power Limit is increased or decreased via the front panel in increments
‘of 5% from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of 100%. The amount of phaco power
delivered to the handpiece is controlled by one of two methods: linear or fixed
footpedal control.
In Flow mode, the Aspiration panel is displayed, while in Vacuum mode, the Vacuum
panel is displayed. In “Standard” display mode, only the Vacuum mode controls are
available. When system detects an occlusion in Flow mode, an alarm sounds and the
word "Occlusion" appears on the extraction panel under the primary limit control's
label.
WARNING! (
Good clinical practice dictates testing for adequate irrigation, aspiration flow,
reflux, and operation as applicable for each handpiece prior to entering eye.
‘The five submodes available in Phaco mode are listed below. In each submode, the
Aspiration and Vacuum panels are identical while the Ultrasound panels change
according to the requirements of the current mode.

+ Custom (Advanced View only)

Dynamic Rise
‘The value in the display bar indicates the current rise time for the aspiration pump
rate adjustment at occlusion onset. The Dynamic Rise setting can vary from 2 to 4,
in increments of 1. When Dynamic Rise -2 is displayed in the Adjust Bar, it indicates
that the rise time in aspiration pump rate adjustment is slowest. When Dynamic Rise
4 is displayed in the Adjust Bar, it indicates that the rise time in aspiration pump rate
adjustment is fastest. The Alcon default setting is 0. Dynamic rise is only available in
Flow Mode.
WARNING! (
The use of Dynamic Rise setting 1,2, 3, or4 may resultin aspiration levels (volumes)
exceeding irrigation flow. This may cause chamber shallowing or collapse which
may result in patient injury.

‘Smart Pulse Indication
When the algorithm is active, ultrasound power will be generated at 10% or half
of the commanded power, whichever is lower, prior to the application of the main
power pulse. This low-powered pulse contributes a negligible amount of energy to the
procedure, but it allows the electronic equipment to determine the optimum operating
parameters for the main power pulse, thus making it more efficient, even for the
shortest duration of ultrasound. The Smart Pulse algorithm can be active in Custom,
Pulsed, or Continuous modes when used with the OZiI® torsional or U/S handpieces.

When the OZil® torsional handpiece is selected, irrigation, aspiration, phaco power
and ultrasonic oscillations are provided by the handpiece. In this mode of operation
phaco power and ultrasonic oscillations alternately turn on and off. Amplitude of
the ultrasound and torsional displacement of the phaco tip are proportional to the
ultrasound power and torsional amplitude displayed on the console front panel. The
user has the ability to adjust the aspiration rate,
vacuum levels, phaco power, and torsional sonic
amplitude (ultrasonic oscillations) at any SSattation
time during the surgical procedure via their o g~
respective adjustment arrows or remote control. prac? =

OZil® Power/Amplitude
The Phaco Power Limit and Torsional Amplitude Limit are increased or decreased via
the front panel in increments of 5% from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of 100%.
Power/Amplitude to the handpiece is controlled by one of two methods: linear or
fixed footpedal control (except 3D mode whieh is always linear).
+ Linear Footpedal Control - If linear (increasing) footpedal control is selected,
the Limit buttons indicate the maximum phaco power and ultrasonic oscillations
(Torsional Amplitude) delivered with the footpedal fully depressed. In footpedal
position 3 (position 2 for 3D mode), power and oscillations start at the start limit
and change linearly until power reaches the end limit at full footpedal depression.
