SURGICAL CONSOLE

摘要

An ophthalmic surgical system for filling a syringe with a retinal tamponading gas is disclosed. The system includes a surgical console having a user interface, a computer, first and second bottles containing pressurized retinal tamponading gases, and a port for fluidly coupling to an automatic gas filling consumable including a syringe. A user selects a particular retinal tamponading gas via the user interface, and the system fills the syringe.

主权项

1. An ophthalmic surgical system comprising:
a surgical console, comprising:
a graphical user interface configured to allow a user to select a retinal tamponading gas;a computer;a first bottle containing a first pressurized retinal tamponading gas removably disposed within said console;a second bottle containing a second pressurized retinal tamponading gas removably disposed within said console; anda pressurized air line; said system further comprising an automatic gas filling module disposed within said console, said module comprising:
a port for fluidly coupling with an automatic gas filling consumable, said automatic gas filling consumable comprising a syringe having an end cap;a first shutoff valve fluidly coupled to said first bottle;a second shutoff valve fluidly coupled to said second bottle;a pressure regulator fluidly coupled to said first shutoff valve and said second shutoff valve; anda third shutoff valve fluidly coupled to said pressurized air line; wherein said computer is electrically coupled to said automatic gas filling module and to said graphical user interface and is configured such that selection, by a user, of a retinal tamponading gas via said graphical user interface provides a filling of said syringe with said retinal tamponading gas from one of said first or said second bottles, and further provides a purging of said retinal tamponading gas and air disposed in said syringe to atmosphere using said pressurized air line fluidly coupled to said end cap.
