METHOD OF TESTING A SURGICAL SYSTEM

摘要

A method of testing a surgical system that takes advantage of the fact that in
a balanced irrigation/aspiration system (inflow '||to_char('&')||'gt;= outflow) the duration of
the aspiration pressure recovery to the irrigation fluid source pressure
immediately following pump stop is independent of pump run time. This method
provides a more reliable way of detecting restricted irrigation flow
configurations not detectable by the current methods, such as marginal
irrigation flow cases that could potentially lead to surgical complications
(e.g. chamber collapse during post-occlusion break surge).
