Manual Concept
Bausch+Lomb designs manuals to give you the information you need when you need it, without having to
search for it.
This manual is organized so that in the first chapter you will find enough information to quickly get up and
running, and get answers to general questions about the Stellaris®PC Vision Enhancement System. We
have included plenty of pictures so you can grasp concepts quickly. Be sure to read Chapter2 to become
familiar with the Graphical User Interface and the Foot Control. These are your connections to operate the
system. Chapter3 describes information on how to customize the system to suit your particular needs.
Chapter4 has detailed information about each function and feature, how to set up the function and its
associated disposables, and how to interact with each function. Chapter5 provides cleaning and sterilization
information. These chapters are meant to serve as a reference to questions of a more technical nature.
Chapter6 through Chapter8 contain information that you may rarely need, such as unpacking, installing
modules, system check-out, meanings of error messages, service information, and system specifications. Make
sure that you read and follow all safety precautions set forth in this manual. Information presented in
this manual relating to surgical procedures is a suggestion only, and does not constitute any warranty
of fitness or claim of responsibility, or undertaking of liability resulting from any surgical techniques
practiced. The surgeon is ultimately responsible for determining the appropriate procedure for each
patient.
Note: The user interface screens displayed in this manual may differ from what is on your system
depending on configuration. While the information is the same, the depiction may change. The
illustrations should not be used in place of the instructions in the manual.
