2. INTRODUCING THE TRABECTOME® I/A CONSOLE 2.1 Console Overview The Trabectome® I/A Console integrates an adjustable speed peristaltic pump with a tubing pinch valve to provide fluid management of up to two (2) fluid tube set lines. This configuration is ideal for procedures requiring both a pinch-valve regulated irrigation capability (e.g., from an elevated drip chamber spiked irrigation bottle or bag) and a separate, controlled-rate aspiration or suction capability using a volumetric flow-based peristaltic pump. Both the peristaltic pump and pinch valve have been configured to allow easy and reliable loading/unloading of tube set lines. The Trabectome® I/A Console Model 550014-01 has a flow range of 1-40 ml/min depending on the size of peristaltic pump tubing utilized. Please refer to Section 7.3 of this manual for additional flow performance and compatible tube set sizing information. The Trabectome® I/A Console is housed in a rugged, compact enclosure with a single, convenient front panel mounted rotary switch knob to select the device’s operational mode. Operational modes include an automatic “PRIME” mode, wherein the peristaltic pump operates continuously at high speed and the pinch valve is open to allow fluid flow; and a “FIXED FLOW” mode wherein the flow rate of the peristaltic pump is selected from a range of four (4) increasing flow rate presets. The actual flow rates in the four (4) “FIXED FLOW” mode preset positions depend upon the tube set size loaded through the peristaltic pump. Various standard tubing size options have been characterized in graph form in Section 7.3 of this manual. The Trabectome® I/A Console is powered by an external DC power supply that accepts a full range of international AC operating power inputs from 100VAC to 240VAC at 50-60Hz. The console can be secured to the Trabectome® roller stand using the console’s rear panel mounting hardware. This mounting configuration allows remote activation of the Trabectome® I/A Console using the Remote Footswitch and remote pass-through activation of a compatible external companion device using rear console panel cable connections as described in Section 4.3. Accessory equipment connected to the Trabectome® I/A Console shall comply with the system standard IEC 60601-1. Everybody who connects additional equipment to the signal input part or signal output part configures a medical system, and is therefore responsible that the system complies with the requirements of IEC 606011. If in doubt, consult the technical services department or your local representative.

NeoMedix – TRABECTOME® I/A Console Operations Manual (230V) 4.4 Operation With Remote Footswitch In order to remotely actuate the Trabectome® I/A Console, a Remote Footswitch (standard accessory) must be properly attached [refer to Section 3.3].
When properly connected, the Remote Footswitch controls the functions of the Trabectome® I/A Console when the Flow Control Knob is in any of the four (4) fixed flow settings. Note that the Remote Footswitch, even when properly connected, does not control any of the functions of the Trabectome® I/A Console when the Flow Control Knob is in either the “STANDBY” or “PRIME” settings. When the Actuation Pedal of the Remote Footswitch is not being depressed, depressing and releasing the Pinch Valve Toggle Switch of the Remote Footswitch toggles the pinch valve of the Trabectome® I/A Console between the open and closed states. The Pinch Valve Toggle Switch may be used, for example, to control availability of irrigation to the surgical field when the Actuation Pedal is not being depressed. Depressing the Actuation Pedal from the un-depressed position to the fully depressed position causes the Actuation Pedal to move through a progressive series of actuation zones, each of which produces particular functional actions of the Trabectome® I/A Console:

(*) Controlled by Pinch Valve Toggle Switch. When the Remote Footswitch Actuation Pedal is not depressed, the Pinch Valve may be toggled between the open and closed states by the Pinch Valve Toggle Switch. Depressing the Actuation Pedal initiates travel through Zone 1 and the Pinch Valve of the Trabectome® I/A Console always goes to the open state. Further depressing of the Actuation Pedal causes travel through Zone 2 and the Peristaltic Pump of the Trabectome® I/A Console begins rotating, pumping at the flow rate corresponding to the setting of the Flow Control Knob of the Trabectome® I/A Console. Finally, further depressing the Actuation Pedal causes travel through Zone 3, adding activation of a Trabectome® companion device via an accessory Activation Cable). 4.5 Operational Guidelines – Connections, Loading/Unloading, Settings CAUTION: Verify proper functional operation of the Trabectome® I/A Console and attached accessories prior to making patient fluid line connections. Prior to Setup: Ensure the Trabectome® I/A Console is disconnected from live power source by verifying that the front panel Power LED is not lit and that one of the power source connections is detached. Place the front panel Flow Control Knob in the “STANDBY” setting. Place console in a secure location (e.g., preferably mounted to the Trabectome® Roller Stand, wall, or other suitable equipment mount). Verify equipment has been cleaned/disinfected (refer to Section 5.2).

Refer to the illustration in Section 4.2 of this manual and verify that the console’s front panel Flow Control Knob is in any position other than the “STANDBY” position. [Rotating the Flow Control Knob to the fully counter-clockwise “PRIME” setting position will automatically trigger the pinch valve to open and the peristaltic pump to operate at high speed, regardless of whether or not any remote console actuator devices (such as a footswitch) are connected or what actuation state they are in. Placing the Trabectome® I/A Console in “PRIME” mode is an easy method for determining if all internal components are functioning and may help isolate troubleshooting problems to accessory connection errors or failures in external accessory components (such as a footswitch.)] Determine if an external accessory remote actuator (such as a footswitch) is securely connected at the plug connection in the lower right corner of the Trabectome® I/A Console’s rear panel. If remote actuator accessory is connected, please note that the console will not function in any other mode except “PRIME” unless the remote actuator mechanism is activated (e.g., the pedal on a footswitch is being depressed.). Disconnect the accessory’s cable connector from the console’s mating rear panel connector and verify the Trabectome® I/A Console functions normally in the “PRIME” setting of the Flow Control Knob. If console functions normally with the remote actuation accessory disconnected, reconnect the accessory cable connector and reverify that the console will still not respond to activation of the external remote actuation accessory. Verify that the activation mechanism of the external accessory remote actuator can be smoothly transitioned through its range to verify that there is no debris that has obstructed the mechanism. Verify that the connecting cable is not kinked and that its terminating connector is securely seated and mated to the console. If none of the steps above correct the problem, replace the remote accessory with an identical NeoMedixsupplied replacement (see Section 2.2). If problems persist after replacing the accessory, contact NeoMedix or your local authorized distributor for Technical Support and to request an RGA per Section 6.2 of this manual.
