Fluidics adjustment techniques for use in a surgical procedure

An apparatus comprising:

• a control unit comprising:
• a processor;
• a user interface configured to provide data received from the processor to an operator;
• and
• a memory unit configured to provide information to the processor;
• wherein the memory unit comprises a lookup table configured with a plurality of fluid parameter related conditions potentially expected to be encountered during an ocular surgical procedure and a plurality of warning entries, each warning entry associated with fluid parameter related conditions potentially expected to be encountered during the ocular surgical procedure;
• and wherein each warning entry corresponding to a level of performance outside a predetermined range is conveyed to the operator via the user interface.

A phacoemulsification system comprising:

• a control unit comprising:
• a processor;
• and
• a memory unit configured to provide information to the processor;
• wherein the memory unit comprises a lookup table configured with a plurality of fluid parameter related conditions potentially expected to be encountered during a phacoemulsification procedure;
• and
• wherein any set of fluid related conditions that according to the lookup table may potentially result in phacoemulsification system operating condition corresponding to a level of performance outside a predetermined range results in a change in fluid functionality of the phacoemulsification system.
