Method and system for evaluating performance of intra ocular pressure sensors and maintenance systems

An ophthalmic surgical system, comprising:

• a phacoemulsification probe having a needle at its distal end, the needle configured to be inserted into an eye of a patient;
• a pressure sensor;
• and
• a processor, configured to repeatedly:
• obtain a plurality of pressure values taken by the pressure sensor, each of the plurality of pressure values indicating an intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement taken during a surgical procedure;
• calculate an overall measurement for the surgical procedure based on the pressure values;
• and
• displaying on a display device a graphic representation of the overall measurement.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium retaining program instructions, which instructions when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:

• obtaining a plurality of pressure values from at least one sensor coupled with a handpiece and in communication with a surgical console, the sensor, the handpiece and the surgical console associated with an ophthalmic surgical system, wherein each of the plurality of pressure values indicates an intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement taken during a surgical procedure;
• calculating an overall measurement based on the pressure values;
• and
• displaying on a display device a graphic representation of the overall measurement, wherein the overall measurement illustrates the eye chamber pressure stability.
