Redefine your routine at EverydayStability.com INDICATIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR THE COMPACT INTUITIV SYSTEM CAUTION: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. ATTENTION: Reference the Directions for Use for a complete listing of Indications and Important Safety Information. INDICATIONS: The COMPACT INTUITIV System is an AC-powered device with a fragmenting needle for cataract surgery to disrupt a cataract with ultrasound and extract the cataract. The Single-Use Pack is used with the COMPACT INTUITIV System. The Single-Use Pack is sterilized using Ethylene Oxide and is designed for single use only. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: Do not activate the Phaco and Vitrectomy handpieces with the tips in the air as this reduces the useful life of the handpiece and the cutter. Do not attempt to use the system if it fails to perform properly and do not use near flammable objects, anesthetics, gases, fluids, and oxidizing agents. Obtain qualified advice prior to the use of the COMPACT INTUITIV System on patients with a cardiac pacemaker, as the system might interfere with this device. Ensure that the irrigation solution bottle height and fluid level are monitored at all times as a low bottle or empty bottle will a"ect intraocular pressure during aspiration and may lead to inadvertent chamber shallowing or collapse, aspiration or abrasion of the iris or other eye tissue, and ultrasonic wound burn. Do not come into contact with grounded metal parts or parts that have appreciable capacitance to ground. The use of an antistatic mat is recommended. Use proper handling and disposing methods for biohazards when disposing single-use components. Failure to properly attach the tubing to the appropriate vacuum source or pressure source a"ects the vitrectomy handpiece operation. Be sure to read the handpiece package insert for correct assembly procedures and connection procedures. Follow good operating room procedures to prevent injury or contamination. Place all monitoring electrodes or other types of equipment as far from the COMPACT INTUITIV System as possible. A high current limiting device is recommended for the protection of such systems. Do not use needle monitoring electrodes. Keep the diathermy cord, handpieces, leads and active electrodes away from the patient. Do not allow skin to skin contact of the patient, for example, between the arms and torso and insert dry gauze to avoid contact, as appropriate. Do not use near conductive materials, and renew electrode cables upon evidence of deterioration. All non-sterile accessories must be sterilized prior to use. Examine all handpieces closely prior to use, as contaminated or damaged system accessories can cause patient injury. Do not use non-AMO approved products with the COMPACT INTUITIV System. 1.
