Accessories: Phaco Hand Pieces

#1
Problem	No Phaco Power.
Solution	Check to see that the hand piece is plugged into the front panel receptacle. Make sure you are in the “PHACO” mode. Check to see that the phaco tip is not loose. Check to see if the bubble suppressor is not stuck, (it should easily rotate) and see that it is not torn. Check if the foot pedal is driving machine to phaco position. Try non-linear mode.
#2
Problem	Wiggle to work.
Solution	Broken power cord don’t use. Send to SDC.
#3
Problem	Heating Up.
Solution	If only one hand piece is heating up, send it to SDC.
#4
Problem	Leaking at rear of hand piece.
Solution	If the hand piece is a STM replace rear connector. If the hand piece is a TF check that the stack is seated completely in to the coil. Make sure that the metal shell over the cocoon is tight. Make sure that “O” rings are not damaged.
#5
Problem	Not working in linear.
Solution	Check to see that the linear function light is displayed and that it adds an additional 4 cc/min upon depressing of the foot pedal.
#6
Problem	Making metallic sound.
Solution	Change the O-rings, tighten the shell.
#7
Problem	louding in Anterior Chamber.
Solution	Check settings, ART, occlusions. Increase flow rates
#8
Problem	Corneal burns/edema.
Solution	Change the infusion sleeve. Make sure incision size is correct for Phaco Tip. Make sure that there is sufficient flow before engaging phaco.
