All four buttons on the Foot Control are user programmable. They are initially set in the surgeon preferences
file, and can be modified either through the programming interface (see Chapter3), or in some cases through the
Footpedal More Screen (see page2-10).
The Footpedal More Screen is used to convey the current footpedal configuration and status to the surgical
team. It is displayed by selecting the Footpedal More Button, which is the below the Footpedal status icon on
the bottom of the Main Surgical Screen.
Footpedal
The footpedal itself, located in the center of the Foot Control, provides two axes of movement and thus allows
simultaneous control of two system parameters. Both controls are programmable with respect to function and
control parameters. In the pitch direction, the footpedal will provide approximately 15 of up/down movement.
In the yaw direction, the center pedal will provide approximately 10 of travel from center in both the left and
right directions, however, the center (home) position may be set to be offset approximately 5 in either direction
as explained on page2-33. When released, the footpedal will return to the home (up or center) position. The table
on page2-34 shows the possible combinations of control available. The programmable detents provide tactile
feedback to the pitch movement when it moves between different regions.
Note: Due to compliance with IEC 60601-2-2, position1 will not start until approximately 35% of
pedal travel is attained in the linear coagulation mode.
Each surgeon using the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System can program the system for their own preferred
operating configuration and instrument parameters. Several default surgeon preference files are pre-loaded on

4.3. IV Pole
WARNING: Use of an IV Pole extension or other means of altering the bottle height may cause inaccurate
setting displays resulting in serious permanent patient injury.
CAUTION: Do not manually force the IV Pole or use the IV Pole as a handle.
The Stellaris Vision Enhancement System IV Pole is an integral part of the system console. It can be directly
moved up, down, or to a specific preset height by through any of several methods. It can be controlled through
the touch screen, Foot Control (if programmed), remote control, or directly by using the buttons on the back of
the system console. The IV Pole can also be pre-programmed to a certain height for various surgical modes. The
system will not compensate if the bottle height is altered though the use of IV Pole extensions or other hardware
not provided with the system.
To change the bottle height during surgery, use the up and down arrows on the IV Pole control section of the
Surgical Screen (See page4-5), or use the buttons on the back of the system console.
In the lowest (stowed) position and with a 500ml bottle, the IV Pole will provide approximately 30cm.
(12in.) of infusion pressure, measured from the aspiration port to the middle of the Balanced Salt Solution drip
chamber. This is an equivalent pressure (not Intraocular Pressure) of 22.4mm Hg. The IV Pole can extend to
140cm (55in.), an equivalent pressure of 102.74mmHg.
To change the programmed bottle height settings for the current surgical mode, select the Fluidics More Screen
(See page2-7), then select the Infusion Tab to change the actual height, preset height, or the maximum height the
IV Pole is allowed to reach.
The maximum IV Pole height should be set when installing the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System in a
particular medical facility. You can do this using the programming interface (see Chapter3).
CAUTION: The remote control is not waterproof and is not sterilizable. The remote control must be
placed in a sterile cover prior to use in the sterile field.
The remote control transmits an infrared signal to the receiver at the bottom of the touch screen. For critical
functions you can activate a command directly through the remote control. The commands which may be given
from each remote control button are shown in the figure below.
The remote control is powered by two AA batteries, which should be replaced when the low battery light comes
on. Access the remote control batteries by removing the battery cover on the back of the remote.
Previous Phase
Vacuum
Note: The batteries should be removed from the remote control if the system is to be idle for more than
30days.
Note: Each Stellaris Vision Enhancement System has either an Advanced Vacuum Fluidics or an
Advanced Flow Fluidics function.
WARNING: For optimum aspiration and reflux performance, the patients eye level must be at the
same level as (no more than 7cm [3in.] from) the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System
aspiration port. Failure to follow this procedure may result in serious and permanent patient
injury.
With your Stellaris Vision Enhancement System, the irrigation line from an inverted bottle of Balanced
Salt Solution is integrated into the tubing manifold at the top of the vacuum cassette. The delivery pressure of
the Balanced Salt Solution is adjusted by varying the height of the bottle in relation to the patients eye. For
pressurized infusion, pressure is determined by the pressure setting of the air pump (see page4-31 for details).
On/off control of irrigation is accomplished through the footpedal, or via the touch screen.
As the cassette fills up, the system will give a Cassette Nearing Full warning. When the fluid level reaches
the maximum capacity, the system will give a Cassette Full warning. After this second warning, the aspiration
function will be disabled. You must replace the fluidics cassette that is either empty or nearly empty and reprime
before aspiration will be re-enabled.
Irrigation-Aspiration
Irrigation
Irrigation is part of the fluidics system, providing continuous fluid flow to compensate for fluid aspirated out
of the eye. Irrigation on/off is controlled by the pinch valve, which is opened when the footpedal is pressed and
closed when the footpedal is released.
An Irrigation-only mode is available, in which the footpedal controls irrigation on/off. The Fill Button on the
Surgical Screen opens the irrigation control valve for 20seconds to facilitate collection of irrigation solution
into a surgical container.
Irrigation/Aspiration
Note: Tubing must not be pulled tautit must be allowed to have a droop or sag between the cassette
and the handpiece.
Note: Whenever the cassette is ejected from the system console, keep the handpiece above the level of
the cassette port.
The Advanced Vacuum Function provides vacuum levels from 0mmHg to 600mmHg in 1mmHg increments
depending upon the mode of operation. Aspiration limits are set via the touch screen, the remote control, or the
Foot Control buttons (if programmed).
In I/A mode, irrigation is activated in Region1 of footpedal travel, and both irrigation and aspiration are
activated in Region2 of footpedal travel.
Capsule Polish
The capsule polish function is typically accomplished with a lower vacuum setting than standard settings. These
settings may be customized to allow quick entry into a lower vacuum level as explained in Chapter3.
Viscoelastic Removal
The viscoelastic removal function provides different settings for the doctors convenience. These settings may
be customized to allow quick entry into a specific vacuum level as explained in Chapter3.
Venting
The Vacuum Fluidics system provides the surgeon with either air or fluid venting options to free an occluded
tip when the footpedal is released. When air venting is selected, the vacuum build up is vented to atmospheric
pressure, and when fluid venting is selected, it is vented to a positive pressure equal to the bottle height head
pressure.
Reflux
Aspiration of fluid to the collection cassette occurs via the handpiece and a tube set. Reflux applies a
momentary reverse pressure through the aspiration line to clear the aspiration port of lodged material, and is
generated, in the Advanced Vacuum system, by irrigation pressure.
The Stellaris Vision Enhancement Systems Advanced Vacuum system is designed for use with continuous
reflux, but for any surgical mode reflux may be programmed to be either continuous or off (none). If enabled,
the reflux feature is activated by inward movement of the footpedal in all aspiration modes.
Vacuum Response
Vacuum response refers to the amount of time required to obtain the desired aspiration level. A fast response
value instructs the system to achieve the desired aspiration level in the shortest amount of time; similarly, slow
indicates that the time to achieve the desired aspiration will be much longer. The response can be changed
through the programming interface (see Chapter3) or the Fluidics More Screen (see page2-7). The Stellaris
Vision Enhancement System Advanced Vacuum System has five levels of vacuum response setting, with one
being fastest response and five being slowest response.
Once irrigation has been initiated and the footpedal has been depressed approximately five degrees (or as
programmed), a momentary increase in footpedal resistance will be noted signifying the transition from
Region1 to Region2 and the start of aspiration. Aspiration increases proportional to footpedal travel with the
maximum level being set via the Max Vacuum input on the touch screen. You can program Region2 to provide
either fixed or linear vacuum control. The Actual Vacuum display will indicate the current aspiration level.
If enabled, an audible linear tone will indicate aspiration. The pitch of the tone increases with increased
aspiration.
WARNING: Improper reassembly of tubing manifold to the cassette may result in inadequate system
performance.
7. Press manifold to release latch to free it from the cassette (Pink arrows).
9. Assemble tubing manifold by first sliding the front end under the cassette retainer (R).
WARNING: For optimum aspiration and reflux performance, the patients eye level must be at the same
level as (no more than 7cm [3in.] from) the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System aspiration
port. Failure to follow this procedure may result in serious and permanent patient injury.
WARNING: Ensure the maximum capacity of the fluid collection device is not exceeded as this could
cause a hazardous situation to the patient.
The Stellaris Vision Enhancement Systems Advanced Flow system consists of a retractable cartridge drawer,
a vacuum transducer system, a drive motor, control solenoids and electronics.
The Advanced Flow System cartridge is manually loaded and sits tightly in the drawer slot. Select Close
Drawer to engage the device.
Irrigation-Aspiration Mode
Irrigation
With your Stellaris Vision Enhancement Systems Advanced Flow system, the irrigation line from an inverted
bottle of Balanced Salt Solution is attached through the Advanced Flow System cartridge to the surgical
handpiece. The delivery pressure of the irrigation solution is adjusted by varying the height of the bottle in
relation to the patients eye. On/off control of irrigation is accomplished through the Foot Control or touch
screen. The inward yaw action of the Foot Control will always provide Continuous Reflux in the irrigation
mode, overriding the global reflux option that applies in all other modes.
Irrigation/Aspiration
A single aspiration port, driven by the disposable Advanced Flow System cartridge, provides flow control of
aspiration.
Flow Control: Aspiration in the flow mode of operation will provide flow rates from 1ml/min. to 60ml/min.
in 1ml/min. increments and vacuum limit control from 0mmHg to 650mmHg in 5mmHg increments utilizing
the up/down spin buttons. Aspiration limits are set via the touch screen and adjusted via the Foot Control or
remote control.
There are two modes of flow control: Fixed Flow Linear Vacuum Limit and Linear Flow Fixed Vacuum Limit.
Capsule Polish
The capsule polish function is typically accomplished with a lower vacuum limit setting than standard settings.
These settings may be customized to allow quick entry into a lower vacuum limit level as explained in Chapter3.
Viscoelastic Removal
The viscoelastic removal function provides different settings for the doctors convenience. These settings may
be customized to allow quick entry into a higher vacuum limit level as explained in Chapter3.
Venting
The Advanced Flow Fluidics system provides the surgeon with either air or fluid venting options to free an
occluded tip when the footpedal is released. When air venting is selected, the vacuum build up is vented to
atmospheric pressure, and when fluid venting is selected, it is vented to a positive pressure equal to the bottle
height head pressure.
Reflux
Aspiration is applied via the Advanced Flow Pump and subsequently to the surgeons handpiece via a tube set.
Reflux applies a momentary pressure through the aspiration line to clear the aspiration port of lodged material.
An additional reflux option is continuous reflux used to ease needle insertion through the incision. The reflux
feature is applied with the inward rotation of the footpedal in all aspiration modes. Yaw inward the footpedal
initiates the reflux cycle, releasing it completes the cycle. Subsequent reflux cycles may be applied with
repeated footpedal operations. Single reflux is limited. Forward revolutions of the pump are required before
reflux may be actuated.
Vacuum Response
Vacuum response refers to the amount of time required to obtain the desired aspiration level. A fast response
value instructs the system to achieve the desired aspiration level in the shortest amount of time; similarly, slow
indicates that the time to achieve the desired aspiration will be much longer. The response can be changed
through the programming interface (see Chapter3) or the Footpedal More Screen (see page2-10).
Once irrigation has been initiated and the footpedal has been depressed approximately five degrees (or as
programmed), a momentary increase in footpedal resistance will be noted signifying the transition from
Region1 to Region2 and the start of aspiration. In Region2, aspiration will be either fixed or proportional to
footpedal travel, as programmed. The maximum level is set by the Max Flow, Max Vacuum, and Vacuum
Response Time setting on the touch screen. The Actual Flow and Actual Vacuum display will indicate the
current aspiration level.
If enabled, an audible linear tone will indicate aspiration. The pitch of the tone increases with increased
aspiration.
Irrigation/Aspiration Setup
Refer to detailed instructions on page4-14. The only difference when using the Advanced Flow system is that the
fluid collection device is a bag instead of a cassette, and you must select Close Drawer on the Setup Screen
after inserting the cartridge.
Vitrectomy Mode
Similar to the Vacuum Fluidic module, the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System Advanced Flow module
offers a High Speed pneumatic vitrectomy cutter. The pneumatic vitrectomy cutter uses pressurized air
generated from an internal pump to drive the pneumatically operated guillotine type vitrectomy cutter. The
vacuum fluidic module provides aspiration to draw the vitreous material into the port and vitreous is then cut
and aspirated into the disposable collection container through the attached tubing.
WARNING: For optimum aspiration and reflux performance, the patients eye level must be at the same
level as (no more than 7cm [3in.] from) the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System aspiration
port. Failure to follow this procedure may result in serious and permanent patient injury.
WARNING: Assure the handpiece and accessories are sterilized before use as specified.
Note: Do not use StellarisPC Vision Enhancement System posterior or combined packs on a

c. Ensure that the irrigation clamp is open and the tip is immersed in irrigation solution. Select Setup, then
Pneumatic Vit Test. Select Show Me Steps for animated setup guide if needed.
d. After a successful test, select Advance to Surgery and select the Vit phase from the clock menu.
Once irrigation has been initiated and the footpedal has been depressed approximately five degrees (or as
programmed), a momentary increase in footpedal resistance will be noted signifying the transition from
Region1 to Region2 and the start of aspiration. Aspiration increases proportional to footpedal travel with the
maximum level being set via the Max Vacuum input on the touch screen. Region2 will provide linear control
of aspiration. The Actual Vacuum display will indicate the current aspiration level.
If enabled, an audible linear tone will indicate aspiration. The pitch of the tone increases with increased
aspiration.
For Fixed Cut vitrectomy mode, vitreous cutting is activated in Region2. The cut rate is fixed. Each successive
outward yaw movement toggles the cutter ON or OFF. If enabled, an audible tone will indicate cutter on (double
beep) or cutter off (single beep).
For Dual Linear Cut mode, outward yaw movement provides linear control of the cut rate as a function of
footpedal displacement once it is within Region2. The actual cut rate is displayed on the screen. When the
footpedal is released, it returns to center and the cutter is disabled. If enabled, an audible linear tone indicates
cut rate, and the pitch of the tone increases with increased cutter speed.
The Stellaris phaco handpiece is designed with SureLock, a luer lock irrigation connector, to prevent tubing
coming off during surgery and uses Attune energy management system, based on 6-crystal technology and
advanced power modulation software (see programming section for details).
Ultrasound Power
The ultrasound display allows you to adjust maximum ultrasound power pulses per second (PPS), duty cycle
(DC), pulse duration, and pulse interval. Both the current setting and actual value are shown on the Surgical
Screen display. The status bar (see page2-14), visible at the top center of the surgical screen, may display the
average ultrasound power (AVE), actual phaco time (APT), and effective phaco time (EPT), depending on
system settings.
The AVE display is internally calculated as the arithmetic average of all phaco power used since last reset. The
APT display indicates the time in minutes and seconds that phaco power has been energized since last reset. The
EPT is derived from multiplication of AVE and APT. Use the Case More Screen (see page2-13) to reset the phaco
timer and average. The timer is also reset when you select Next Patient on the End of Case Screen.
The pulse rate control does not adjust the ultrasound power. The control adjusts the number of cycles of
ultrasound power that occur during a one second time interval. In Pulsed Ultrasound Mode, the phaco
handpiece is energized for the portion of each time interval as programmed by the Duty Cycle setting.
When single burst mode is selected, a burst of ultrasound energy is emitted when the Foot Control is pressed to
90% of the linear control position, and is reset when the pedal is released to less than 90% of the linear control
position.

Pedal Position
When multiple burst mode is selected, a sequence of bursts of ultrasound energy are emitted. The time interval
between bursts is controlled by the linear control position of the footpedal. When the pedal reaches full travel in
the linear control, the ultrasound energy is limited by the Max Duty Cycle setting.
Power
Multiple Burst
Pedal Position
Ultrasound Submode
Up to three sets of ultrasound modulation settings may be stored with each ultrasound mode (see Description
of Ultrasound Modes, page4-22). Foot Control activation of the submode sequence may be enabled or disabled.
Submodes can be toggled with the Foot Control heel switch or by footpedal outward yaw motion in Region2 or
3, depending on how the system has been programmed.
Ultrasound Tuning
The ultrasound handpiece must be tuned with the needle installed before using. Select Prime and Tune on the
Setup Screen.
Ultrasound power may be adjusted from 0% to 100% in 5% increments using the up/down spin buttons, Foot
Control buttons, or remote, and 1% increments using the keypad. The ultrasound output will be activated at the
minimum programmed power level as the footpedal moves into the active ultrasound region, and will increase to
the maximum programmed output as a function of linear footpedal travel.
Ultrasound power is activated in Region3 of footpedal travel. Another momentary increase in footpedal
resistance will be noted (if detents are enabled) signifying the transition from one Region to the next, and the
start of ultrasound power. Ultrasound power will be initiated and controlled as a function of footpedal travel in
Region3. The next ultrasound submode may be selected (if enabled) by moving the footpedal in the outward
yaw direction.
Ultrasound power is activated in Region3 of footpedal travel. Another momentary increase in footpedal
resistance will be noted signifying the transition from one region to the next, and the start of ultrasound power.
Linear ultrasound power will be initiated and controlled as a linear function of footpedal travel in Region3.
Pulsed ultrasound may be toggled on/off by moving the footpedal in the outward yaw direction.
Note: If single or multiple burst mode is selected, position3 (or outward yaw movement) does not
control ultrasound power, but rather the burst interval (for multiple burst) or nearly full travel
initiates and resets the single burst (see page4-23).
Ultrasound power is activated in Region3 of footpedal travel. Another momentary increase in footpedal
resistance will be noted signifying the transition from one region to the next, and the start of ultrasound power.
Linear ultrasound power will be initiated and controlled as a linear function of footpedal travel in Region3 (see
note).
Ultrasound power is activated in Region3 of footpedal travel. Another momentary increase in footpedal
resistance will be noted signifying the transition from one region to the next, and the start of ultrasound power.
Linear ultrasound power will be initiated and controlled as a linear function of footpedal travel in Region3.
Note: If single or multiple burst mode is selected, position3 (or outward yaw movement) does not
control ultrasound power, but rather the burst interval (for multiple burst) or nearly full travel
initiates and resets the single burst.
Aspiration is activated by Region2 of footpedal travel.A momentary increase in footpedal resistance will
be noted signifying the transition from Region1 to Region2, and the start of aspiration. In Region2, linear
aspiration will be developed at the selected aspiration level. The screen will display the actual amount of
aspiration.
Linear ultrasound power will be initiated and controlled as a linear function of outward yaw footpedal travel in

WARNING: Check the coagulation power level when changing between extraocular and intraocular
cauterization.
WARNING: Use only bipolar handpieces and cables designated by Bausch+Lomb for use with this
system.
WARNING: Failure of HF surgical equipment could result in an unintended power output increase.
CAUTION: The patient leads should be positioned in such a way that contact with the patient or other
leads is avoided. Temporarily unused bipolar handpieces should be stored in a location that is
isolated from the patient.
CAUTION: All bipolar accessories must be rated for an operating voltage of at least 120V.
Note: When the device 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.
Note: The output power selected should be as low as possible for the intended purpose.
Bipolar coagulation is accomplished with the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System Coagulation Function.

WARNING: When using Pressurized Infusion with Balanced Salt Solution bottle hung on the system
automated I/V pole, the actual intraocular pressure will be higher than the air pressure
displayed in the machine. The actual intraocular pressure would be equal to air pressure
combined with hydrostatic pressure created from the gravity force.
Note: Specific instruction for cleaning and sterilization included with the handpiece or accessory take
precedence over these instructions.
Note: Once pressurized infusion pump is turned ON, it will continue to operate even when the function
is removed from the screen display.
Note: When using pressurized infusion, hang the bottle so that the drip chamber is close to the patient
eye level.
The Pressurized Infusion function infuses a preset air pressure to pressurize the Balanced Salt Solution bottle.
The pressure generated would force Balanced Salt Solution into the eye to maintain a preset intraocular pressure
(IOP). The air pressure is generated by a compressor in the system and air is infused into the bottle through
air tubing. The use of Pressurized Infusion function would replace the gravity infusion that depends on bottle
height. The preset air pressure may be adjusted from the system screen display.
Pressurized Infusion is an optional function of Stellaris. The function could be built into the system according
to the customer order or the function could be added into existing field systems with an upgrade. A zero level
bottle hanger (BL4363) is an optional accessory that allows the Balanced Salt Solution drip chamber to be level
with the aspiration port.

5. Attach the Ethernet cable on the back of the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System Computer Unit
(J). Attach the other end of the data communications cable to the Ethernet connector of the MMC (L)
labeled with the Stellaris icon.
WARNING: Connecting the MMC data communication cable to equipment other than the Stellaris Vision
Enhancement System may cause damage to both systems.
6. Turn on the microscope camera and the video recorder and/or monitor.
7. Verify that the image captured by the surgical microscope camera is displayed on the video monitor.
With the MMC powered off, the MMC is operating in a video bypass mode; thus the video input is
directly connected to the video output.
8. Turn on the MMC by pressing the power on/off switch. The power indicator on the MMC front panel
will change from a bright blue to a dimmer blue.
9. After approximately one minute, verify that the Bausch+Lomb logo appears in the lower right corner
of the video image on the monitor.
10. Turn on the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System as directed in Chapter1. The Stellaris Vision
Enhancement System mode and settings information will not be displayed until a surgical mode is
entered.
11. Verify that the Stellaris Vision Enhancement Systems mode and setting information is overlaying the
video image from the microscope camera on the video monitor.
Video Capture
The MMC has FireWire DCAM output capability, which can be used to send video to a personal computer
for video capture. To take advantage of this capability, you must install software to support your video capture
software. This software may be obtained by contacting Bausch+Lomb Global Product Support.
Note: A six foot FireWire cable is provided with the MMC module.
Note: Preventative scheduled maintenance is recommended once a year to insure that the Stellaris
Vision Enhancement System meets it optimum performance, reliability and safety standards set
by the manufacturer. The maintenance shall be done by a Bausch+Lomb certified individual
only.
Note: Other than main fuses, this system contains no parts that are serviceable by the user. All
maintenance shall be done by a Bausch+Lomb certified individual only.
If the power supply chain appears to be intact, you may have a blown fuse. A blown fuse is usually noticeable
after removal from the system by obvious discoloration within the fuse and/or an obviously broken fuse-wire
within the fuse.
Fuse Replacement
The Stellaris Vision Enhancement System has 2 user-replaceable fuses. If an over-current condition should
occur which opens these fuses, they should be replaced with fuses of the same value as the original fuses (see
specifications table in Chapter9).
With the system off, using a known good outlet, no power is sent to the system when you flip the main
power switch to on. (i.e., the stand-by power switch is not lit up, no faint fan noise from the lower
rear of the system, etc.).
A blown fuse is usually noticeable after removal from the system by obvious discoloration within the fuse and/
or an obviously broken fuse-wire within the fuse.
Note: If damage is apparent to either fuse, both should be replaced to ensure proper operation.
a. Remove the power cord from the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System. The presence of the power
cord will physically prevent the removal of the fuse drawer.
b. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the fuse holder counter-clockwise, and pull outward. One style of
fuse holder will come partially out and the fuse will drop out. On the other style, the fuse is retained by
clips on the back.
c. Reinstall the fuse holder, and lock it by turning clockwise.
d. Snap the fuse drawer back into place.
e. Replace the cord and the system should be ready to run again.

Mode of Operation Continuous
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Class A
The Stellaris Vision Enhancement System is a piece of medical equipment. As such, it requires special
precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). It should be installed and put into service
according to the EMC information provided in the tables below.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can potentially affect all electronic medical equipment,
including the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System. Guidance on maintaining appropriate separation between
communications equipment and the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System is provided in the tables below.
A complete line of accessories for the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System and other surgical instruments is
available from Bausch&Lomb. Contact your Bausch&Lomb sales representative or login to Storzeye.com and
visit the online store for detailed information. The use of accessories and cables other than those specified by
Bausch&Lomb in the table below may result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased immunity to
external electromagnetic radiation resulting in decreased patient safety.
As with all medical electronic equipment, the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System should not be used
adjacent to other equipment. If adjacent use is necessary, the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System should be
observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
Note: The Stellaris Vision Enhancement System includes functions that use high frequency signals
for treatment, including bipolar coagulation and pulsed phaco. As with all systems using high
frequency signals, interference may occur between the bipolar function or the pulsed phaco
function and other equipment. If any physiological patient sensors are to be used in conjunction
with the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System, the phaco and bipolar circuits should be
activated briefly prior to contact with the patient while the sensor operator is monitoring the
output of the sensor. If there is noise observed on the sensor during the precheck or during
surgery, the operator may adjust the sensor according to the instructions of the sensor
manufacturer.
When phaco or bipolar functions 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

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular / cordless) telephones
and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, and
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which
the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above,
the Stellaris Vision Enhancement System should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the
Stellaris Vision Enhancement System.
