Orientation of Aspiration Port Relative to Silicone Sleeve Irrigation
3. Insert the appropriate tip into the handle making sure that it is
correctly engaged, as shown in the figure.
4. If the selected I/A tip requires a silicone infusion sleeve, place
the infusion sleeve onto the tip until the desired exposure of the
aspiration tip is achieved.
When setting the exposure of the tip, the orientation of the
irrigation port holes on the sleeve should be at a right angle to
the aspiration port on the tip as shown.
5. Initiate irrigation fluid flow (following the manufacturer's
instructions) and verify fluid flow out of the irrigation ports.
Checking System Operation
1. Fill a test chamber with balanced salt solution (BSS) and slide the
test chamber onto the I/A tip.
2. Place or hold the I/A handle horizontally at the level of the
cassette.
3. Pinch off the aspiration tubing close to the I/A handle's aspiration
Luer and activate the system's aspiration pump. Make sure the
system responds as required.
4. With the aspiration pump still activated, release the pinch of the
aspiration line while watching the test chamber. The chamber
should maintain its shape or dimple only slightly. After verifying
chamber stability the vacuum may be released.
