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.
Claims21
A phacoemulsification surgical console having a customizable non-linear custom aspiration mode, comprising:
- an aspirator;
- a foot pedal;
- 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, 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 aspirator actuation to the aspirator.
A method of providing a customizable, non-linear custom mode for aspiration in ophthalmic surgery, comprising:
- receiving a foot pedal actuation percentage from an ophthalmic surgery console;
- relationally comparing the foot pedal actuation percentage to a non-linear custom zone algorithm which is calculated from at least one user-indicated set point for aspiration corresponded to a particular one of the foot pedal actuation percentage;
- calculating a next one of the aspiration from the custom zone algorithm.
