摘要:
A surgical system that is able to sense the onset of an occlusion or other surgical event as well as the instant an occlusion breaks. To help avoid overheating of the tip, the system determines an approximate temperature of the eye using an irrigation flow rate and reduces the power to the handpiece automatically if an overheating situation is predicted. Alternatively or in addition, the system monitors the power drawn by the handpiece, which is indicative of the cutting load on the tip, and automatically adjusts the power or stroke of the tip to compensate for increased loads on the tip.

A flexible ring having a diameter suitable for an anterior chamber rhexis. Imbedded in the ring is a heating element or filament. Alternatively, the ring may contain a pair of adjacent, circular electrodes. The electrodes or heating filament are placed against the anterior capsule and electrical current is applied, causes localized heating around the electrodes or filament. The flexible nature of the ring and electrodes allow the ring to be folded so as to pass through a relatively small (

A surgical system console (12) having an electronic identification system (21), such as a bar code scanner (21), magnetic reader or other sensor, e.g., optical, magnetic or other system that works in conjunction with a unique identifier (18) on the surgical pak (14) so as to identify the contents of the pak (14) to the surgical control (12) such as a CPU 118. That information can be used for a variety of further activities, such as inventory management, product usage, traceability, patient billing, collection of statistical data, or support, automatic setting of the surgical operating parameters by the surgical console, servicing and to print (220) out the contents of the surgical pack on a list (200) or any other recordable media e.g., DVD, CD-ROM, floppy disk, hard drive, ZIP drive.
