Abstract
An apparatus, system and method for providing a may include at least a phacoemulsification surgical console having a customizable non-linear custom aspiration mode. The console may include at least an aspirator; a foot pedal; and a non-transitory computing code resident on a computing memory associated with a computing processor which, when executed by the processor, causes to be executed the steps of: receiving a percentage actuation of the foot pedal; calculating, including from a non-linear algorithm, a percentage actuation for the aspirator corresponded to the received percentage foot pedal actuation; and dictating the calculated percentage aspirator actuation to the aspirator.
Claims6
A phacoemulsification surgical console having a customizable non-linear aspiration mode, comprising:
- an aspirator comprising at least one of a positive displacement pump and a vacuum-based pump;
- a foot pedal;
- and
- non-transitory computing code resident on a computing memory associated with a computing processor which, when executed by the processor, causes the execution of the steps of:
- receiving by the processor a percentage actuation of the foot pedal;
- calculating, including from a non-linear algorithm, based on user definable parameters to customize a percentage actuation for the aspirator corresponding to the received percentage foot pedal actuation;
- and
- dictating the calculated percentage actuation to the aspirator to control an aspiration level,
- wherein:
- the calculating from the non-linear algorithm, comprises a start segment calculation, a performance-segment calculation, and a final-segment calculation, wherein
- the start segment calculation obeys:
- Y=(Y1/X1)*X
- wherein Y is the calculated percentage aspirator actuation, X is the percentage foot pedal actuation, X1 is a percentage foot pedal set point, and Y1 is an aspiration percentage set point corresponded to X1.
