Key tips
- ·Verify laser output with a real power meter, not the unit's own display - the display can drift independently of true output.
- ·Take "the image looks a little off" reports seriously - optical alignment drift is usually gradual, not sudden.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Light source / lamp failure
MediumSymptoms: Dim illumination, lamp error.
Root cause: Xenon/LED aging.
Probe / handpiece fault
HighSymptoms: No phaco power, error.
Root cause: Tip or handpiece wear.
Pump / fluidics fault
MediumSymptoms: Unstable anterior chamber.
Root cause: Peristaltic pump wear.
Imaging sensor drift
LowSymptoms: Blurry/offset image.
Root cause: Camera calibration drift.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Optical alignment / calibration check
- ·Lamp or laser output verification
- ·Annual full PM
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Light source / lamp failure
- Confirm the presentation - typically dim illumination, lamp error - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: xenon/LED aging.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the phaco handpiece / tip per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
