It is comprised of a Summary panel area and a tabbed interface area for displaying the various metrics associated with the case.  The screen also provides various controls for renaming the case, printing the End Case and Laser forms, and customizing the form’s content and layout via the Setup Form popup.Figure 2-71  End Case Screen: Anterior TabViewing of the various metrics associated with the case is accomplished by selecting the associated tabs - Anterior, Posterior, Laser, or Consumables. Pressing the Rename button above the tabs, displays a keyboard which enables the user to rename the case from the default name (date of surgery).The Print and Print Laser Form buttons are used to obtain a print-out of the End Case Form and Laser Form respectively.  The Laser Form is comprised of the End Case Form’s first header and the Laser metrics table only.  Modification of the End Case Form’s layout and content is accomplished using the Setup Form button.  When pressed, the End Case Form Setup popup is displayed.End Case Summary PanelThe Summary panel area lists those procedure steps that were used during the case along with their cumulative times. For a step to be included in the summary list, work must have been performed using the step. In most cases, work is performed when the treadle is depressed. Therefore, steps that are defined in the procedure but not actually used to perform work, are not be listed. This could occur, for example, if the surgeon used the 1st step of a procedure, selected the 2nd step but did not depress the treadle, and then proceeded ahead to the 3rd step to perform work. In this scenario, steps 1 and 3 would be included in the summary list, but step 2 would not be included in the summary since no work was performed with it.
8065751025  2.95Constellation® Vision System In computing a step’s cumulative time, it is necessary for work to be done while the step is selected in order for the current elapsed time to be added to the step’s cumulative time.  Therefore, a user may access a step and interact with the various touchscreen controls for an extended period of time but, unless the treadle is depressed, the current elapsed time will be discarded and will not be added to the step’s cumulative time.  If the step’s cumulative time is zero, the step will not be shown in the step summary list. Metrics TabsThe End Case Metrics screens are accessed through the labeled tabs next to the Summary panel. Tabs are provided for Anterior, Posterior, Laser, and Consumables. When selected, each tabs displays the associated metrics for that tab as shown by the Anterior tab in Figure 2-71.

Irreparable damage to the handpiece and tip can result if run dry.Ensure that test chamber is filled with BSS® sterile irrigating solution before tuning U/S handpieces. Tuning a handpiece dry may result in premature tip failure and breakage.
2.100  8065751025Constellation® Vision SystemWARNINGS!Use of an ultrasonic handpiece other than the U/S, or use of a handpiece repaired without  Alcon  authorization,  is not  permitted,  and  may  result  in patient  injury, including potential shock hazard to patient and/or operator.Use of the U/S handpiece in the absence of irrigation flow and/or in the presence of reduced or lost aspiration flow can cause excessive heating and potential damage to the cornea and other tissues.
8065751025  2.101Constellation® Vision System     TurboSonics® Family of Tips  U/S tips are made of medical grade titanium alloy, and are attached to an U/S handpiece to deliver mechanical energy to the lens, assisting in its removal by aspiration. Depending on the needs and technique preferred by the surgeon, various styles of tips and tip bevels are available (see Figure 2-77). Various U/S tip styles are color coded.  •  1.1 mm U/S Tips - The standard ultrasonic tips are the original 1.1 mm TurboSonics® tips. They are designed for use only with 1.1 mm infusion sleeves.  •  0.9 mm U/S Tips - The 0.9 mm ultrasonic tips are designed to allow entry through a smaller incision. They are designed for use only with 0.9 mm infusion sleeves.  •  Aspiration Bypass System - Tips with the ABS® feature contain a small hole in the distal portion of the tip’s wall. This helps to maintain flow through the system even during occlusion of the tip’s main port.WARNINGS!Use  0.9  mm  tips  with  0.9  mm  infusion  sleeves.  Use  1.1  mm  tips  with  1.1  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.Read all package label material printed on the consumable paks prior to their use.Standard U/S Tips - The 1.1 mm TurboSonics®tipwith the round shaft is the original, classical U/Stip shape. The 0.9 mm has a smaller diameter shaft.The Aspiration Bypass System - Tips withthe ABS®feature contain a small hole in the distalportion of the tip's wall.Kelman®Tips - The Kelman®tips have a bent shaftwhich generates transverse ultrasound motion, in additionto the conventional longitudinal motion, to enhance cuttingefficiency. In addition, the bend allows better visibilityduring the surgical procedure.Tapered Tip - The tapered ABS®tip is a combinationof the 0.9 mm tip and the flared ABS®tip. The shaftinner and outer diameters is equivalent to straight tips,while the distal end is comparable to flared tips. Thetapered ABS®tip has the improved holding force of aflared tip, and the same aspiration flow characteristicsas a straight tip.ABS®holeABS®holeABS®holeFlared ABS®Tips - The flared tips have a larger proximalport, providing increased holding force. They narrow in themiddle of the shaft, thus allowing smaller incisions andimproving occlusion breaks by reducing outflow from theanterior chamber, following occlusion breaks. Flared tipsalso have the Aspiration Bypass System feature, to furtherenhance performance.Figure 2-77  TurboSonics® Tips - Shown here are samples of U/S tips used with the U/S handpieces.

Infusion sleeves are used with the Infiniti™* U/S handpiece, and with some Ultraflow™* I/A handpieces. Infusion sleeves used with Infiniti™* U/S handpieces require a BSI (bubble suppression insert). Infusion sleeves must be correctly matched to the specific tip type (see the following descriptions).   Depending on the needs and technique preferred by the surgeon, various styles of infusion sleeves are available as listed in Table 2-2.Table 2-2.

8065751025  2.103Constellation® Vision System     Ultraflow™* Handpieces and Tips  The Ultraflow™* handpiece is used in I/A mode to maintain chamber pressure with irrigation while removing cortical material via aspiration. (See Figure 2-79 and note the band markings on the tips that identify size of tip aperture.) Some configurations of the Ultraflow™* IT and SP handpieces also use infusion sleeves. The following Ultraflow™* I/A handpieces and tips are available:  •  Ultraflow™* IT Handpiece and Interchangeable Tips - The Ultraflow™* IT consists of a handpiece body that accepts interchangeable tips. These tips do not require an adapter or infusion sleeve as they contain a built-in metal infusion sleeve.  •  Ultraflow™* IT Handpiece and Threaded Tip Adapter - Reusable I/A tips with TurboSonics® silicone infusion sleeves can be used with the Ultraflow™* IT handpiece with threaded tip adapter.  •  Ultraflow™* SP Handpiece (Single-Piece with fixed tips) - The Ultraflow™* SP consists of a single-piece handpiece with irrigation tip, threaded tip adapter, or I/A tip with a built-in metal infusion sleeve. Various tip configurations are available.WARNINGS!Use of non-Alcon surgical reusable or disposable I/A handpieces that do not meet Alcon surgical specifications, or use of an Alcon handpiece not specified for use with the Constellation® Vision System, may result in a fluidic imbalance. This, in turn, may cause a shallowing or collapsing of the anterior chamber.Exceeding the recommended level of 100 mmHg with a 0.5 mm or larger I/A tip may  cause  anterior  chamber  shallowing  and/or  incarceration  or  tearing  of  the posterior capsule.I/A tips are not to be used with U/S handpieces.
