Use the Bausch + Lomb | Stellaris Elite Phaco Machine The first thing you'll notice about this unit is that it has a different look than the company's previous phaco machines. Its primary upgrade involves a longer air force infusion (AFI) spike, which relies on both gravity and pressure to infuse the eye during surgery. On conventional phaco machines, surgeons typically manually set the bottle of balanced salt solution (BSS) at a certain height — 100 cm to deliv- er more pressure into a shallow eye chamber or 50 cm if less pressure is needed — to maintain fluid equilibrium in the eye. Instead of relying solely on gravity, this machine employs adaptive fluidics, which combine precise aspiration control with pre- dictive infusion management to maintain the eye chamber with more precision. It also automatically adjusts to the internal eye pressure to compensate for how much vacuum the surgeon applies to remove fragmented lens pieces. Those features offer huge clinical advantages, because a surgical field that gets very shallow when too much fluid leaks from the incision can get the surgeon into deep trouble. • GRAVITY The fluid pressure delivered to the inside of the eye by the Stellaris Elite is no longer limited by the Earth's gravitational force.
