摘要:
Methods, devices, and systems for laser eye surgery generally make use of a console that interchangeably accepts multiple types of eye treatment cassettes. The cassettes enable one or both of displacement-based or vacuum-based aspiration. The console and the cassette may communicate to establish the functionality of the installed cassette by utilizing a component indigenous to the operation of the cassette. A dual-mode cassette may include a separable holding tank for enabling vacuum-based aspiration. A displacement-based pump may be provided to drain the holding tank while the vacuum system continues to aspirate fluids. A vacuum sensor for controlling the flow of aspirated fluids may have three ports for communicating with a handpiece, a displacement-based pump, a vacuum-based pump, or an irrigation source. The handpiece may be vented during vacuum-based aspiration by opening a vent valve interposed between the handpiece and the vacuum source.

A pump for moving a fluid through a fluidics system includes a surface and channel disposed along at least a portion of the surface. The pump also includes a driving mechanism having a rotatable shaft and a plurality of haptics operably coupled to the shaft. A closed portion is formed in the channel as the channel is compressed between the surface and at least one of the haptics, the closed portion having a thickness between the surface the haptic. The pump additionally has a circular path and a shaft path. The haptics are completely disposed inside the circular path and traversing the circular path during operation of the driving mechanism. The shaft path is traversed by shaft during operation of the driving mechanism, such at least one of the haptics is always in contact with the channel. The surface has a radius of curvature in the vicinity of the closed potion that is greater than the sum of a radius of the circular path and the thickness of the closed portion.

A sterile drape (10) maintains a sterile field during use of a flat panel touch screen (22) during diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures. The drape comprises sterile front (50) and rear (52) sheets formed from a thin layer of a transparent material that accommodates the transmission of tactile pressure. The rear sheet may comprise a folded extension of the front sheet along the top edge (54), with the sheets bonded along the sides. A bottom opening between the front and the rear sheets allows cooling air to enter, and at least one ventilation opening (68) is near the top.

The present application relates to a fluidics cassette (26, 26a, 26b), comprising a housing (32); an irrigation line (37) and an aspiration line (38), the lines configured to provided irrigation and aspiration functions for an eye treatment probe (22); a ramp (54) configured for transferring fluid through a resilient channel (56) when the resilient channel is engaged by a pump head (50, 70), the ramp comprising: a central portion (80) characterized by a first base curvature (C central ); an entrance portion (82) characterized by a base curvature (C entrance ) that is different from the first base curvature; and an exit portion (84) characterized by a base curvature (C exit ) that is different from the first base curvature; the arcuate extent of the entrance portion being unequal to the arcuate extent of the exit portion.

Devices, systems, and methods interface a cassette with an eye treatment system console to provide coupling between the console and an eye treatment probe. The console may receive the cassette using a driven axial translation linkage that inhibits rotation of the cassette. The cassette may facilitate accurately positioning of a pressure sensor relative to a the console by allowing sliding movement between the sensor and a cassette body. Multiple peristaltic drives may be mounted to the console so that their rotors rotate about a common axis. An integrated mount structure may support and/or position components of the console which will interface with cassette, and an axially compressible vacuum connector of the console seal to a tapered vacuum coupler of the cassette.
