摘要: A system includes an enclosure, an irrigation retainer, one or more sensors, and a processor. The irrigation retainer is coupled with the enclosure and configured to accept an irrigation container holding irrigation fluid for pumping to a phacoemulsification handpiece. The one or more sensors are coupled with the irrigation retainer and configured to provide at least one signal indicative of a remaining amount of the irrigation fluid. The processor is configured to receive the at least one signal, and in response to the at least one signal, output an estimation of the remaining amount of the irrigation fluid in the irrigation container or an estimation of the amount of irrigation fluid used.

摘要: A system and method include vibrating a needle of a phacoemulsification handpiece by driving one or more piezoelectric crystals in the handpiece with one or more electrical signals having different respective frequencies using one or more respective drive modules. The needle is inserted into an eye of a patient. The frequencies of the electrical signals are tuned to respective one or more target frequencies, and respective electrical impedances seen by the drive modules are registered. In response to an electrical impedance seen by at least one of the drive modules undergoing a change exceeding a preset impedance change, an indication is provided that material in the eye surrounding the needle has changed, a level of vibration of the needle is changed, and/or the frequency of at least one of the drive modules is adjusted to an electrical resonant frequency thereof.

摘要: A phacoemulsification simulation apparatus includes a trigger device, at least two sensors, and a processor. The trigger device configured to apply, to fluid at an inlet of a needle of a phacoemulsifier, a pressure profile as a function of time in response to an input waveform. The at least two sensors are configured to measure a pressure of the fluid at respective points in the phacoemulsification simulation apparatus. The processor is configured to (a) drive the trigger device with the input waveform, thereby causing the trigger device to apply the pressure profile to the inlet while the fluid is aspirated via an aspiration line, (b) receive measurements of the pressure of the fluid from the at least two sensors, and (c) analyze an aspiration performance of the phacoemulsifier in response to the measurements.

摘要: A system and method that includes inserting a needle of a phacoemulsification handpiece into an eye of a patient and vibrating the needle in a first trajectory. Matter from the eye is aspirated via an aspiration line while the needle is vibrated in the first trajectory. An indication is received, of a vacuum level in the aspiration line. Determined is, that the vacuum level has changed by at least a preset vacuum level change, and in response vibrating the needle is switched to a second trajectory, different from the first trajectory.

摘要: A method for tuning a phacoemulsification probe during a procedure for treating an eye. The method includes vibrating a piezoelectric actuator of the phacoemulsification probe, by applying to the piezoelectric actuator a tuning signal that (i) covers an operational bandwidth of the phacoemulsification probe and (ii) has an initial power level that is lower than a normal power level set for treating the eye. The tuning signal is measured during an initial signal tuning session. An operating frequency for the phacoemulsification probe is derived from the measured tuning signal. A driving signal, having the normal power level and the derived operating frequency, is applied to the piezoelectric actuator.
