Acquires over 9000 data points in 1.5 seconds. Analyzes elevation and curvature measurements on both anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea. Capable of detecting and analyzing posterior corneal abnormalities where corneal anomalies first appear. Features dynamic, Windows-based platform designed to integrate continuing advances via upgradable software. Customizable quad maps show any combination of measurements in one convenient format. Slit scanning technology combined with an advanced placido disc system Anterior corneal elevation and curvature. Posterior corneal elevation and curvature. Full corneal pachymetry. Simulated keratometry. White-to-white diameter. Pupil size (mesopic) Anterior chamber depth. Angle kappa Irregularity index.
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.
