Preparing the ZEISS CT LUCIA 602
(Formerly EC-3 PAL)
-
Apply a small amount of viscoelastic directly to the opening of the cartridge tunnel, as well as a generous amount into the loading chamber.
-
The cartridges are equipped with guide rails. Use forceps to push the lens onto the guide rails from the rear and position it in the middle of the loading chamber.
-
While closing the cartridge, use canula or forceps to press down gently on the lens optic.
-
Position the trailing haptic of the lens into the notched area of the cartridge.
Close the cartridge until the click-lock mechanism engages. IMPORTANT: The lens should be injected within two minutes after loading. Viscoelastic materials may lose their lubricity if allowed to stand too long while exposed to air. -
Guide the cartridge into the opening at the front end of the injector and push it to the very front position.
-
Carefully advance the plunger forward and guide its tip into the loading chamber of the cartridge. IMPORTANT: Retract the plunger back approximately 2 millimeters and then push forward again. This step ensures that the lens is always engaged correctly with the plunger tip.
-
To commence implantation, when the tip is inside the incision, first turn the injector clockwise so that the leading haptic points left in a flat manner as it starts to exit the tip.
-
As the IOL optic leaves the injector and starts to unfold, slowly turn the injector counter clockwise.
IMPORTANT: The CT LUCIA 602 and Z Cartridges are for single-use only.
However, the ZEISS R28 injector can be cleaned and re-sterilized for repeated
use.
Instructions for cleaning and sterilizing the injector can be found in the
Instructions For Use packaged with the Injector.
