1.3 WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Service Strategy

A two-level service strategy is used for the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System: on-site
service, and Repair Center service.
On-site service employs modular replacement, wherein faulty circuit boards and certain other
assemblies are replaced rather than repaired on-site. These faulty assemblies are shipped back to
the AMO Regional Service Operations.
All designated Repair Centers for second level service perform major circuit board and assembly
trouble-shooting and repair, plus any other service action that requires special equipment or
procedures not available in the field.
The circuit boards in the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System are multilayer boards and use
Surface Mount Technology (SMT) components. These circuit boards require special equipment
and techniques for troubleshooting and repair.
The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System service procedures listed below must be performed
at a designated Repair Center. All other service procedures can be performed in the field.
1. Circuit board troubleshooting and component replacement
2. Assembly / FRU repair
3. Footpedal repair
4. Remote Control repair
For U. S. Domestic and for International Service Operations, parts and assemblies may be
ordered through AMO Regional Service Operations.
1.4 Customized Surgeon Programs / Service Disclaimer Form

Customized surgeon programs can be entered and stored in the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™
System by the user. This data is stored on the Hard Disk Drive. There is the possibility that this
data may become altered, corrupted, or erased, either by the customer or by the Field Service
Representative or by some unknown means, making it impossible to retrieve or salvage. The
Field Service Representative will make every effort to retrieve this data (if retrievable and not
corrupted) and reenter this data onto another Hard Disk Drive, if it was necessary to replace the
original Hard Disk Drive. To avoid any misunderstanding by the customer, the customer must
read and sign a prepared Disclaimer Form that explains the possibility of irretrievable, altered, or
lost data. The Disclaimer must be signed before you start servicing the WHITESTAR
SIGNATURE™ System. Refer to the Appendix section of this manual that explains the
disclaimer for the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System.
To minimize the possibility of altering the customized surgeon programs during service, the
following practices should be observed:
• Before servicing a customer's WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System, transfer Customize
Surgeon database to a USB flash memory drive. When finished servicing the WHITESTAR
SIGNATURE™ System, restore, if necessary, the customized surgeon programs using the
USB flash memory drive.
• Never intentionally alter the customized surgeon programs.

• When replacing the Hard Disk Drive, transfer the customized surgeon programs from the old
Hard Disk Drive to the new Hard Disk Drive in order to retain the original customized
surgeon programs within the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System.
• If a new Hard Disk Drive must be installed, and you were unable to retrieve the customized
surgeon programs before doing the replacement, inform the customer that their customized
surgeon programs were irretrievable and that they will have to reenter the customized
surgeon programs. You may suggest to them to keep a copy of the customized surgeon
programs on a USB flash memory drive, just in case the customized surgeon programs are
irretrievable or lost.
1.5 Precautions
The following precautions should be observed whenever the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™
System is being installed or serviced. Point out to the customer any potential hazard and the
appropriate corrective action.
1.5.1 Pathogenic Contamination Precautions

Service personnel working on the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System must carefully follow
appropriate precautions for working on equipment that has been exposed to potentially infectious
materials.
1. Before starting to work on the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System, ensure that the
operator(s) have:
• Removed all used disposable items (needles, tubing, cartridge, collection bag)
• Properly cleaned and sterilized the Handpieces.
2. When working on the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System, wear clean latex examination
gloves. When finished, discard the gloves in the proper manner.
3. When returning used Handpieces (Phaco and I/A) to the factory or to a repair center, ensure
that they have first been properly cleaned and sterilized.
1.5.2 General Safety Precautions

1. The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System is equipped with a grounding-pin power plug.
The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System should be plugged into an outlet with a properly
grounded receptacle. Use of a 2-prong plug adaptor is not recommended. DO NOT modify
or remove the ground pin.
2. Ensure that the fuses installed in the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System are of the proper
rating.
3. Use of an extension cord is not recommended. Doing so may compromise the safety of the
operator and/or patient.
4. Do not overload the AC outlet used to operate the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System.
5. If the power cord or plug on the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System is damaged, a shock
or fire hazard may result. Do not allow continued operation of the WHITESTAR
SIGNATURE™ System until the damaged cord or plug has been replaced.
6. Do not place the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System on uneven or sloped surfaces.

7. The instrument has ventilation openings at the base of the console to allow ambient air intake
and the release of heat generated during operation. If the openings are blocked, heat build-up
can cause system failure which can result in a fire hazard.
8. Do not place the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System on deep pile carpets or over objects
on the floor such as cables and power cords.
9. Use caution when you extend, retract or swivel the Mayo tray articulating arm. Stay clear of
the hinged hardware.
10. Use caution when using Handpieces with sharp edges or pointed tips.
11. Always replace the tubing cassette pack between cases.
12. Wrap the excess power cord neatly around the cord wrap on the back of the console.
1.5.3 Instrument Precautions

1. When the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System is being unpacked, save the shipping
materials for possible future use. Whenever the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System is
shipped, it must be properly packed to prevent damage.
2. When spare parts are received, save the shipping materials for returning the defective part(s),
if appropriate.
3. The Phaco Handpiece is very delicate and should be handled with extreme care. If it is
dropped or receives any other significant impact, it may not work properly.
Note: The Phaco ultrasonic titanium tip should never touch any solid material while in
use. DO NOT touch the tip or touch it to any solid object.
4. Before performing any services, ensure that you first discharge any electrostatic charge that
may have built up on your body. A convenient way to do this is to simply touch a bare metal
surface on the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System while it is plugged into a well
grounded power outlet. If the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System is not plugged in,
some other well grounded surface must be used.
5. DO NOT flex the circuit boards. The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System uses multilayer
circuit boards. Multilayer circuit boards are inherently susceptible to damage by excessive
flexing.
6. Proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions must be observed whenever you are
disassembling or handling the circuitry of the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System. Many
of the components are extremely vulnerable to static discharge damage. A Field Service
Static Protection Kit must be used for ESD protection during WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™
System service.
7. Do not hang more than two glass bottles of 500 ml saline solution on the IV pole hook.
Note: The IV pole may cause interference with TV, radio or other devices. If this
happens, reposition pole (i.e., the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System) or move
the device being affected.

1.6.2.5 PD Controller
The PD Controller, located on the Subsystem Controller PCB, is responsible for controlling
the electronics that drive the Phaco and Diathermy subsystem (Fig. 1-5). It is based off of
the PD controller used on the SOVEREIGN® and SOVEREIGN® Compact
Phacoemulsification systems. The PD Controller uses a Freescale 9S12 micro-controller.
Its I/O bus connects to the Instrument Host Processor PC/104 bus through a bus translator
CPLD. The PD Controller interfaces directly to the Phaco and Diathermy drive electronics,
located on MaxDrive IV PCB. The PD Controller Subsystem accomplishes the following
tasks:
• Receive digital commands over a PC104 communication bus
• Process digital signals
• Process Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) readings of analog control signals
• Control Phaco Handpiece frequency and amplitude
• Verify valid Handpieces
• Characterize the Phaco Handpiece
• Monitor power output
• Operate the Diathermy Handpiece

Fig. 1-5: PD Controller Interface Block Diagram
The PD Processor Feedback and Control Signals consist of the following:

1.6.2.5.1 Phaco Phase
This parameter is derived using the same patented technology developed for the
SOVEREIGN® system. The Phaco voltage and current clocks are generated on the
MaxDrive IV PCB and are used by the phase detector circuit that generates a
quantitative Handpiece phase value that is read by the processor.
1.6.2.5.2 Phaco Handpiece Current
This is a scaled voltage representing the actual Phaco Handpiece current. It is an input
into a RMS to DC converter and results in a DC voltage readable by one of the
microcontroller’s analog inputs. It ranges from 0V to +5V.
1.6.2.5.3 Phaco Handpiece Voltage
This is a scaled voltage representing the actual Phaco Handpiece voltage. Along with
the Handpiece current, this yields the Handpiece impedance. It is an input into a RMS
to DC converter and results in a DC voltage available to one of the microcontroller’s
analog inputs. It ranges from 0V to +5V.
1.6.2.5.4 Phaco Handpiece Ground Fault
This analog 0V to +5V DC signal is used to monitor the Handpiece return connection
and functionality. If either of the two grounding wires opens while Phaco is being
driven, this signal will indicate a non-zero voltage which signals a ground fault error.
One of the microcontroller’s analog inputs is used for this signal.
1.6.2.5.5 Phaco Handpiece ID
This analog 0V to +5V signal is used to determine which type of Phaco Handpiece is
connected and whether or not it is making a proper connection. It is fed to one of the
microcontroller’s analog inputs. Six unique Handpieces can be defined in this design,
each with a different value resistor. The voltage step size required to differentiate each
different Handpiece is nominally 0.25 volts. A signal above 2.7 volts would indicate
that no Handpiece is connected.

1.6.2.5.6 ELLIPS™ Phaco Handpiece Frequency

One of the new accessories available for use with the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™
ELLIPS™ Phaco & Dual Pump System is the ELLIPS™ Phaco Handpiece. The
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System software allows the system and the new
handpiece to operate in two frequencies:
The lower frequency range (24.5 kHz to 26.5 kHz), where the tip of the Phaco
needle is able to move in both a vertical/longitudinal range and horizontal/
transverse direction (this is known as “T-Phaco”).
The higher frequency, which operates at a resonance ranging from 37.5 kHz to 39.5
kHz, where the tip of the Phaco needle is able to move in vertical/longitudinal
direction.
1.6.2.5.7 Diathermy Current
This analog 0V to +5V signal provides information on the Diathermy Driver current.
Because this current varies as a function of output setting, the firmware uses a varying
threshold as a function of power to determine if the driver is operating within normal
limits.
1.6.2.5.8 Diathermy Control Voltage
An analog 0V to +5V signal that is generated by the firmware that controls the
Diathermy output. This output is not linear so that it will provide a linear Diathermy
power as a function of power percentage as requested by the user.
1.6.2.6 Fluidics Controller
The Fluidics Controller located on Subsystem Controller PCB is responsible for controlling
the electronics that drive the fluidics subsystem. The main functions of the Fluidics
microcontroller are to detect Pack type, control the fluid level in the Evacuation Chamber,
control flow rate and vacuum level using the Peristaltic Pump, control vacuum level using
the Vacuum Pump, control valves, communicate with the Host, and monitor the fluidics for
proper operation. It is functionally similar to the controller used on the SOVEREIGN® and
SOVEREIGN® Compact Phacoemulsification systems, but it will also control a Rotary
Vane Pump, and a Venturi Vacuum Pump. Additionally, it uses the standard Peristaltic
Pump as well as controlling a Pack Capture/Eject Valve, which switches compressed air to
capture/eject the FUSION™ Pack or the Dual Pump FUSION™ Pack. The Fluidics
Controller communicates with the Instrument Host Processor via the PC/104 bus (Fig. 1-6).
The primary function of the Fluidics Controller is to monitor and control the fluidics of a
cataract surgery instrument. The fluidics system consists of a Peristaltic Pump, a Rotary
Vane Pump, a Venturi Vacuum Pump, two Pinch Valves (irrigation & reflux/vent), a
Vacuum Sensor and FUSION™ Pack or Dual Pump FUSION™ Pack. The controller board
provides signals to activate the pinch valves, the peristaltic pump, and the pneumatic rotary
vane pump. The controller board also receives input from the vacuum sensor. Using
controlled aspiration rate and controlled vacuum levels, fluidics are pulled from the
Handpiece tip. Additionally, Fluidics Controller opens and closes the irrigation valve that
lets fluid flow from the IV bottle through the irrigation port of the Handpiece.

The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System uses a dual-pump design that allows these
functions to be performed by a traditional peristaltic pump or by a rotary vane vacuum
pump. The aspirated fluid is then diverted to a waste bag for disposal.
Fig. 1-6: Fluidics Subsystem Hardware Overview
The Fluidic Subsystem will accomplish the following tasks:

• Communication
• Irrigation Control
• Peristaltic Pump Operation
• Pack Operation
• Vacuum Venting
• Fluid Reflux
• Calibration
• Error Checking
• Diagnostics
1.6.2.6.1 FUSION™ Pack

pack consists of the irrigation tubing from the bottle spike to the drip chamber through
the irrigation pinch valve, to the handpiece. The FUSION™ Pack’s aspiration tubing
runs from the handpiece to the pack’s vacuum sensing chamber. The drain tubing runs
from the aspiration port to the peristaltic pump and to the drain bag. The molded pack
contains a vacuum sensing chamber, peristaltic pump head, irrigation valve interface,
and pinch valve interface. The pinch valve connects the irrigation tubing to the
aspiration tubing for venting.

and drain bag. The molded pack contains a vacuum sensing chamber, peristaltic pump
head, irrigation valve interface, pinch valve interface, evacuation chamber, and drain
pump head. The pack’s vacuum sensing chamber is connected to the evacuation
chamber by two paths. One path is through the peristaltic pump and the other is
through the pinch valve. Tubing from the evacuation chamber to the drain pump and
drain bag complete the pack and tubing set.

valve must be open to generate flow.
1.6.2.6.4 Pinch Valve
An On/Off valve for selecting between the Peristaltic Pump operation and Vacuum
Pump operation. Valve is closed for Peristaltic operation and open for Vacuum
operation. Valve is also used for venting vacuum in the Peristaltic mode of operation.
Valve is open for venting.
1.6.2.6.5 Vacuum Sensor
Vacuum is sensed from a strain gauge that is magnetically coupled to a diaphragm in
both the FUSION™ Pack and the FUSION™ Dual Pump Pack. The output of the
strain gauge is read by the fluidics micro-controller.
1.6.2.6.6 Peristaltic Pump
The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Peristaltic Pump consists of 4 tubing pinch
rollers symmetrically arranged on a circular aluminum housing attached to a stepper
motor driven by the Fluidic Controller. The pump tubing segment is routed around the
rollers and clamped against a molded pump head in the tubing pack. When the pack is
installed, the pump segment and pump head are brought into contact with the Peristaltic
rollers to form the pump. The Peristaltic Pump is a stepper motor that is driven by a
micro-stepping H-Bridge power amplifier that can deliver 0.54Arms continuously,
0.76A peak at 24V. The motor driver can drive the motor in both directions and has a
low power (detent) mode for holding the stepper motor position when the pump is
stopped. The Peristaltic motor encoder is a 16-bit quadrature encoder for monitoring
the position of Peristaltic Pump stepper motor.
1.6.2.6.7 Pack Capture/Eject & Pack Sensors
The pack capture/eject is driven by a valve controlled by fluidics micro-controller. This
valve switches compressed air to an air cylinder to capture/eject the pack and is driven
as a digital On/Off valve. Pack detect and eject switches are read by the microcontroller
to initiate Pack capture and ejection. A Pack type switch is read by the microcontroller
to determine if a FUSION™ Pack or FUSION™ Dual Pump Pack has been installed.
1.6.2.6.8 Drain Pump
The Drain Pump functions in venturi mode of operation and is used to drain the fluidics
collected in the Evacuation Chamber of the FUSION™ Dual Pump Pack. Its operation
is the same as the Peristaltic Pump explained above.
1.6.2.6.9 Evacuation Chamber Fluid Level Sensors
There are three Optical Fluid Level Sensors part of the Fluidics Module that are read by
the fluidics microcontroller for starting/stopping the Drain Pump and turning off all
pumps when there is an overfill condition in the Evacuation Chamber of the tubing
pack.

1.6.2.6.10 Venturi Shop Air Valve

Shop air flow to a Venturi port is controlled by the Venturi Shop Air Valve. The flow
past the venturi port generates a vacuum in the Vacuum Reservoir. The valve is driven
as a digital On/Off valve.
1.6.2.6.11 Vacuum Valve
The Vacuum Pump has four low current valves. One valve is used for selecting the
Venturi port as the vacuum source for the Reservoir. A second valve is used for
selecting the Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump as the vacuum source. A third valve is for
connecting the Vacuum Regulator to the Evacuation Chamber. A fourth valve is a
vacuum dump valve for emergency relief of the Evacuation Chamber vacuum. All of
these valves are driven as digital On/Off valves.
1.6.2.6.12 Vacuum Pump Vacuum Sensors
There are three vacuum sensors. One monitors the Vacuum Reservoir, the second
monitors the Vacuum Regulator output, and the third monitors the Evacuation
Chamber. The three sensors have fully conditioned 0-5V outputs that are controlled by
the fluidics microcontroller.
1.6.2.6.13 Vacuum Regulator
The Vacuum Regulator is powered from 24V. Its vacuum level is set through a 4-
20mA current loop interface. The fluidics microcontroller sets the vacuum level through
a 12 bit I2C DAC whose voltage output drives a voltage to current converter.
1.6.2.6.14 Venturi pump
The venturi pump is a type of vacuum pump where vacuum is generated by controlling
the flow of compressed air past a venturi port. It requires a compressed air source for
operation.
1.6.2.6.15 Rotary Vane pump
The rotary vane pump is a type of vacuum pump where vacuum is generated by vanes
mounted to a rotor that rotates inside of a cavity. The Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump is an
internal vacuum source for the Vacuum Pump. The driver is a high current Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM) drive.
1.6.2.6.16 Vacuum pump
The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System vacuum pump (Fig. 1-9) is comprised of both
a Venturi Pump and a Rotary Vane Pump. The vacuum pump has the valves necessary to
select either the Venturi or Rotary Vane pump as the vacuum source. The next figure is a
block diagram of the Vacuum Pump. The Vacuum Pump has two vacuum generating
sources, the Venturi Port and the Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump. The Venturi port requires
external shop air at a minimum of 90 PSI (Maximum 120 PSI) to generate a vacuum of up
to 600 mmHg in the Reservoir. The vacuum level generated by the Venturi Port is
determined by the air flow past the Venturi Port. The vacuum level generated by the
Rotary Vane Pump is determined by its level of energization. The vacuum to the
Reservoir is from the Venturi Port when the Venturi Shop Air Valve is enabled, the
Venturi Select Valve is enabled and the Rotary Vane Select Valve is disabled. The
vacuum source is the Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump when it is enabled, the Rotary Vane
Select Valve is enabled, and the Venturi Select Valve is disabled.
The Reservoir vacuum level is controlled by the Fluidic Controller reading from a
vacuum sensor and then setting the Venturi Shop Air Valve or the Rotary Vane Pump
appropriately. The Vacuum Regulator operates from the vacuum in the Reservoir. The
vacuum level set by the Vacuum Regulator is applied through a Hydrophobic Filter to
the FUSION™ Dual Pump Pack for vacuum level control of aspiration. Vacuum
Sensors after the Vacuum Regulator monitor the Evacuation Chamber vacuum.
Pressure Regulator: A manual regulator at the shop air input is set for 90-120 PSI.
Venturi Shop Air Valve: This valve controls the flow of air through the Venturi Port.
Venturi Port: The flow of air past the Venturi Port creates a vacuum at the port.

FUSION™ Dual Pump Pack.
Vacuum Sensors: There are three vacuum sensors. One monitors the Vacuum
Reservoir, the second monitors the Vacuum Regulator output, and the third monitors the
Evacuation Chamber.
Hydrophobic Filter: Provides a water barrier between the Evacuation Chamber and the
Vacuum Pump.
Evacuation Chamber: The Evacuation Chamber is an integral part of the FUSION™
Dual Pump Pack. The chamber collects aspirated debris and fluid from the procedure.
Drain Pump: When the Evacuation Chamber is full, the Drain Pump is turned on to
drain the chamber. The Drain Pump is a stepper motor with attached peristaltic rollers
that are in contact with the tubing and pump head located in the Pack.

Fig. 1-10: Fluidic Hardware Block Diagram

1.6.2.7 Pneumatic Controller

The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ Pneumatic system has been designed so that it may
either use the internally generated air pressure from the Piston pump or externally supplied
air pressure. This high-pressure air supply will then drive the pneumatic (guillotine)
Vitrectomy cutter, venturi vacuum pump in the Vacuum Control Assembly for venturi
vacuum operation and also drives a cylinder which is used to capture and release the
FUSION™ Pack or Dual Pump FUSION™ Pack tubing. The Pneumatic Controller located
on the Subsystem Controller PCB is responsible for controlling the electronics that drive the
Pneumatics subsystem. The pneumatic controller will control the pneumatic (guillotine)
Vitrectomy device. The Pneumatic Controller uses the Freescale (Motorola) 9S12
controller. The Pneumatic Controller communicates with the Instrument Host Processor via
the PC/104 bus.
The Pneumatics Controller subsystem has five functions:
• Communication with Host
• Select Air Source
• Vitrectomy Control
• Capture and Release FUSION™ or Dual Pump FUSION™ Pack
• Provide air supply to the venturi vacuum pump to generate vacuum for venturi operation
The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System provides Anterior surgery functions plus
Vitrectomy. Vitrectomy requires high pressure that can have two different sources: Shop
Air or Piston Pump.
• If there is sufficient shop air pressure available in the operating room, it is used unless the
user specifically decides not to. If there is no shop air (or insufficient shop air pressure)
available in the operating room, the system’s piston pump is used.
• In a case where the Fluidics subsystem requires shop air, the Pneumatics Controller will
stop the Piston Pump and energize valve “V1” (Fig. 1-11) in order to allow shop air to
pressurize the system.

Fig. 1-11: High Pressure Pneumatics Subsystem Block Diagram

1.6.2.8 Diagnostic Controller

The Diagnostic Controller located on the Subsystem Controller PCB, as the name suggests,
provides diagnostic information for the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System. It does not
control any devices during normal operation; rather it simply monitors signals within the
system to determine if there are any problems. Additionally, the Diagnostics Controller
will assist in debugging / troubleshooting by having the capability to inject signals, attach
dummy loads, and other such actions. The Diagnostics Controller measures the electrical
energy applied to the Phaco Handpiece when requested by the Instrument Host. The
Diagnostics Controller Analog to Digital converter samples the AC voltage and current
waveforms coming from the MaxDrive IV PCB and calculates energy, power, voltage RMS
and current RMS. It can also read the voltage RMS and current RMS generated at the
Subsystem Controller Board for testing purposes.
The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Diagnostic Controller uses the Freescale
(Motorola) DSP56803 and will communicate to the Instrument Host Processor via PC/104
bus (Fig. 1-12). The Diagnostics Controller subsystem performs the following tasks:
• Phaco Diagnostics & Reporting
Phaco Electrical Power Test
Phaco Energy Calculation and Reporting
Phaco Frequency and Amplitude Test

Fig. 1-12: Diagnostics Controller Overview
1.6.2.8.1 Phaco Diagnostics:

The Diagnostics Controller monitors the Phaco 24 Volt and reports the status of this
signal upon request from the Instrument Host. The Diagnostics Controller measures the
24 Volt supply to the Phaco Handpiece driver. This is the actual voltage that goes to the
driver not the 24 Volt coming from the power supply. For testing Phaco functionality
without a Handpiece the MaxDrive IV PCB has a dummy load with the same
impedance of the Handpiece. This dummy load is connected and disconnected by a
relay that is controlled by the Diagnostics Controller (Fig. 1-13). The Diagnostics
Controller monitors all control signals that are used to run Phaco:
Phaco_ON_OFF enables the amplitude control signals
Phaco_Power_Enable turns the 24Volt supply on
Phaco_Power_Reset resets all 24V logic
Phaco_Over_Current over current detection

Fig. 1-13: Phaco Control Signals Block Diagram

The Diagnostics Controller measures this analog signal.
Diathermy Voltage: An analog signal that represents the amount of voltage applied
to the Handpiece. The Diagnostics Controller measures this analog signal.
Diathermy Clock: A signal used to generate Diathermy frequency. The
Diagnostics Controller measures the frequency of this signal.

The block diagram below (Fig. 1-14) shows the Diathermy power control signals.
Fig. 1-14: Diathermy Power Control Signals Block Diagram
1.6.2.8.3 Fluidics Diagnostics:

The Fluidics Controller (Fig. 1-15) controls the stepper motor that drives the peristaltic
pump. The Fluidics Controller and associated circuitry generates two semi-sinusoidal
waves shifted 90 degrees. These signals are applied to the driver to control the motor.
The driver provides a sample of the current flowing through each phase of the stepper
motor. The Diagnostics Controller measures both the control and current signals for
each phase. It verifies integrity and functionality by signal processing.
Fig. 1-15: Fluidics Control and Current Signals Block Diagram

1.6.2.9 Solid State Disk Interface

The Disk-On-Chip located on the Instrument Manager SBC PCB contains QNX operating
system programs and the Instrument Host software. The Disk-On-Chip is used to manage
and control the activities of the Instrument Host.
1.6.2.10 Footpedal Controller
The Footpedal Controller, located on the Rear Panel Connector PCB is responsible for
reporting the position of the single linear Footpedal to the Instrument Host software. This is
accomplished by monitoring the Footpedal zero switch, the encoder position, and the
condition of the other switches within the Footpedal.
The Footpedal is plugged into the Rear Panel Connector (RPC) PCB, where it receives the
DC power and communicates with the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System through the
cable. The Footpedal subsystem communicates with the Instrument Host via a serial port.
The controller uses a member of the Freescale (Motorola) 9S08 family. The Footpedal
software will accomplish the following tasks:
• Inform the Instrument system as to the current status of the Footpedal
• Accept configuration commands from the Instrument Host
1.6.2.11 PC/104 Bus
Several of the micro-controllers that the Instrument Host controls are attached to the PC/104
bus (Fig. 1-16) of the Instrument Host processor.
The PC/104 bus (which is simply the PC ISA bus) uses IO Port addressing to communicate
with the attached peripherals.

Fig. 1-22: Power Supply Block Diagram

1.6.2.17 Battery Management System

The Battery Management System is an integral part of the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™
Phacoemulsification System. Its main functions are to store and deliver energy to the
Remote Control and Dual Linear Wireless Footpedal, inductively. The Module consists of a
Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) battery charge controller, SLA battery charger, SLA battery,
Primary Inductive Driver, and the Base Charge Controller. The Primary Inductive Driver
consists of a transformer primary assembly for driving the Remote Control secondary. The
transformer secondaries, the NiMH chargers, and the NiMH batteries reside on the Remote
Control (Fig. 1-23).
The Sealed Lead Acid Battery (SLA Battery) is charged by the Sealed Lead Acid Battery
charger located on the Base Charge Controller PCB. The function of this battery is to
provide power for charging the Remote Control and Wireless Footpedal (future option)
batteries when the host AC power is not on or is disconnected.
The Primary Inductive Driver (PID) main function is to inductively couple the AC drive
(12VAC p-p) to the Remote Pot Core secondary, which is converted to a DC voltage for
charging the NiMH batteries in the Remote Control PCB.
The Base Charge Controller (BCC) PCB is the heart of the Battery Management System. It
contains the charging circuitry for the Sealed Lead Acid Battery, and the AC drive for the
Remote charger. The BCC also controls charge completion and system power down.
The Battery Management System performs the following tasks:
• Charge the SLA battery in 4.5 hours or less when fully discharged
• Charge the NiMH batteries of the Remote Control subsystem
• Charge the NiMH batteries of the Wireless Footpedal (future option) subsystem
• Diagnostic Indicators

1.7 Remote Control

The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Remote Control consists of the Remote Control
Master firmware residing in the GUI PCB and the Remote Control Slave board, and its
associated firmware that resides inside the Remote Control housing. The Remote Control is
powered by four “AA” NiMH rechargeable batteries. The batteries are recharged by the
inductive coupling cradle located on the top panel of the system. It will take nine hours to
charge fully discharged batteries. The Remote Control has a battery life of 34 hours minimum of
continuous operation with backlight on. The Remote Control Master and Slave communicate
with each other via a BLUETOOTH® channel. The Remote Control Master communicates with
the GUI Host via a serial port. Refer to the following figures for the Subsystem, Master
Hardware and Slave Hardware block diagrams (Fig. 1-24, 1-25, and 1-26).

The Remote Control Master and Slave communicate with each other within a 20 foot range and
only on one BLUETOOTH® channel at any given time. The Remote Control turns on the
backlight for 60 seconds delay time when the Backlight button is depressed. The backlight
remains on for another 60 seconds when any button is depressed within that delay time. The
LED on the backlight button of the Remote Control blinks when the batteries are charging and
shall turn off the LED when the batteries are fully charged.

1.8 Single Linear Footpedal

The Single Linear Footpedal is a user input device for use with the WHITESTAR
SIGNATURE™ System. The Footpedal consists of a PCB that resides inside the Footpedal
housing. The PCB contains the firmware that executes the command from the host and
processes foot switches, and solenoid for tactile feedback. The Footpedal operates in a wired
mode. In normal operation, the Footpedal is plugged into the Rear Panel Connector (RPC) PCB,
where it receives the DC power and communicates with the system through the cable. The
Footpedal communicates with the Instrument Host via a serial port. The Footpedal firmware
reads and processes switch inputs, pitch linear positions, and control tactile feedback. It allows
the host to define up to 3 tactile thresholds on the pitch and controls the tactile solenoid as
commanded by the host for tactile feedback on the pitch. Refer to the following figures for the
Single Linear Footpedal Subsystem and Hardware block diagrams (Fig. 1-27 and 1-28).
The Footpedal performs the following tasks:
• Process Footpedal input signals
• Footpedal communication
• Provide user feedback
• Provide watchdog function

1.9 Functional System Description

There are four major operational modes in the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System:
• Phacoemulsification
• Irrigation / Aspiration (I/A)
• Vitrectomy
• Bipolar Diathermy
Each mode uses its own function. In addition, except for the Diathermy, all other modes use the
irrigation, aspiration, and reflux functions. Collectively, these are referred to as the fluidic
modes.
1.9.1 Phacoemulsification
Purpose: To breakup and emulsify the cataract tissue and the nucleus of the lens in the eye and
remove the debris from the Anterior Chamber.
Process: The Phaco Handpiece has a sharp-ended hollow needle that vibrates longitudinally,
and in ELLIPS™ mode both longitudinally and transversal, using ultrasonic frequency. The
vibrations are provided by electrically-driven piezoelectric crystals inside the Handpiece. The
movement of the needle emulsifies the cataract when they come into contact. The debris is
removed by suction through the hollow needle (aspiration). Resulting loss in volume of the eye
chamber is compensated by gravity fed saline (irrigation).
Protection: The body of the ultrasonic Phaco Handpiece is electrically isolated from all the
active electronic circuits and is connected to the instrument via a ground fault detection circuitry.
The ground fault detector circuit will shut down the power to the Handpiece when a grounding
fault is detected. Other protection includes fault detection of irrigation and vent pinch valves,
monitoring of vacuum level by pressure transducer, and monitoring of pump rotation.
1.9.1.1 Phaco Handpiece
The Phaco Handpiece has been designed with a straight-through aspiration channel for more
efficient removal of nuclear fragments, to minimize clogging and to facilitate cleaning. The
hand piece is lightweight, slim, and well-balanced, making it comfortable to use and easy to
manipulate.
1.9.1.2 The ELLIPS™ Phaco Handpiece
An ELLIPS™ phaco handpiece is available for use with the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™
System. The ELLIPS™ handpiece provides both longitudinal and transversal movement.
The ELLIPS™ handpiece provides greater followability and does not require the use of a
Kelman tip.

1.9.1.3 Prime/Tune
Before the start of each surgical case, the system requires Prime, Tune or Prime/Tune to be
executed. The Prime mode incorporates the function of tubing purge, and completes the
fluid irrigation, aspiration and vacuum check. The Tune mode incorporates the ultrasonic
power calibration and safety check for the connected Phaco handpiece. The Prime/Tune
mode starts the prime cycle, initiates the Phaco handpiece tuning while priming, completes
tuning, and finalizes priming.
1.9.2 Irrigation/Aspiration (I/A)

Purpose: The Irrigation / Aspiration mode allows for controlled aspiration of cortical material
from the eye, while maintaining intraocular stability, by replacing the aspirated material with
balanced salt solution (BSS). Irrigation is used to supply fluid to the anterior chamber of the eye.
Aspiration is used to withdraw fluid and emulsified remnants.
Process: Irrigation is accomplished by utilizing the gravity-fed solution from BSS
Bottle. Irrigation is switched on/off by a valve that is controlled by the Footpedal. Irrigation
pressure/flow can be varied by lowering or raising the IV pole.
Aspiration is created by a peristaltic pump driven by a stepper motor. The peristaltic pump
provides a predictable and stable aspiration rate. When the Footpedal is moved to the “0” (zero)
position, or when a preprogrammed Footpedal side switch is activated, pump will stop and a
valve in the aspiration line momentarily vents to the irrigation line (called "venting to fluid") to
quickly reduce any residual pressure/vacuum in the aspiration line.
Protection: Protection includes fault detection of the irrigation and vent pinch valves,
monitoring of the vacuum level by a pressure transducer, and monitoring of pump rotation.
1.9.2.1 Dual Pump
The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System provides a fluid aspiration system using either a
peristaltic (flow-based) pump or a Venturi (vacuum-based) pump system. The surgeon can
utilize the Venturi pump system to provide a fast vacuum rise time for the IA surgical
procedure.
1.9.2.2 Irrigation Only
Purpose: When the surgeon requires only irrigation, not aspiration, to maintain the
chamber depth, an irrigation-only mode of the instrument can be selected.
Process: In this mode, irrigation will begin once the Footpedal is depressed into position 1,
and will remain on through the full range of the Footpedal treadle travel. Aspiration will
never come on while Footpedal is in position 1. It should be noted that the Phaco
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System can only turn on or off the irrigation by means of a
pinch valve and otherwise does not control fluid flow. Flow is determined by bottle/drip
chamber height (and thus "pressure head") and Handpiece tip diameter.
Protection: Protection consists of a fault detection of the irrigation pinch valve.

1.9.3 Vitrectomy
Purpose: This mode is used to remove vitreous humor presented in the anterior chamber during
surgery. The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System uses air pressure to drive the vitreous
cutter. The wide range of user-controlled, programmable cut rates supports anterior segment
surgeries.
Process: An air compressor supplies pulsating air to the Vitrectomy Handpiece via the cut valve
which pulsates the air flow. The Handpiece has a cutter consisting of a tube within a hollow
needle. The inner tube is attached to a diaphragm that vibrates from the pulsating air supplied by
the compressor. Aspiration is connected to the inner tube. As the vitreous humor is sucked in, it
is snipped off by the inner tube in a guillotine motion. The system is capable of providing
pneumatic to the Vitrectomy Handpiece to cut at rates between 100 and 2500 cuts per minute, in
increments of 50 cuts per minute, as selected by the user and specified by the Host.
Protection: Since the Vitrectomy probe does not have any electrical connections, it does not
need any type of grounding. Protection includes fault detection of the irrigation and vent pinch
valves, monitoring of the vacuum level by a pressure transducer, and monitoring of pump
rotation. The pressure of the pneumatic line within the console is checked by the pneumatic
controller (via a pressure transducer) which will provide a warning message if the pressure goes
out of range.
1.9.4 Diathermy
Purpose: To stop bleeding in tissues by rapid coagulation.
Process: Pulses of high-frequency high voltage are applied to the tip of the Diathermy forceps.
The energy transferred to the tissue by the resulting spark or dielectric breakdown coagulates the
tissue. The power is controlled by varying the number of pulses in a fixed time window called a
cycle. One pulse is one complete cycle of the square wave.
Protection: The Diathermy circuit is electrically isolated from the rest of the WHITESTAR
SIGNATURE™ System and has no return path to ground. A power-limiting circuit limits the
maximum average power that can be delivered to the Diathermy forceps (power level set from
the front panel).

WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
5 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
5.1 Introduction
The troubleshooting aids in this section will help to diagnose operating difficulties and system
malfunctions in the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System. As Field and Repair Center
experience identifies recurrent problems and appropriate diagnostic processes, this section will
be expanded to include additional troubleshooting aids.
5.2 General Guidelines for Assembly Level Troubleshooting

On-site assembly level troubleshooting poses unique and complex challenges to the Field Service
Engineer. In addition to identifying and replacing the faulty assembly, the Field Service
Engineer must often travel great distances to the customer location, resolve operator errors, and
identify power and environmental causes of problems while satisfying the customer's perception
of quality service.
A structured approach to resolving field problems can greatly increase customer satisfaction and
the Field Service Engineer's effectiveness. There are seven major tasks in resolving field
equipment problems. Refer to Table 5-1.
Table 5-1 Field Service Tasks
Prior to Going On-Site While On-Site

1. Obtain a Service History for the Instrument 1. Have the Operator Demonstrate the Problem
2. Query the Operator of the Instrument 2. Resolve the Obvious
3. Check for Field Service Bulletins that may 3. Substitute the Failing Assembly
address the Problem
4. Confirm the Repair
Each of these tasks is explained below.

Prior to Going On-Site:
1. Obtain a Service History for the Instrument.
Knowledge of previous problems will assist your troubleshooting efforts. Find out when the
last Preventive Maintenance (PM) service call was performed (if applicable). If a PM is
due, or will be due shortly, be prepared to perform this task in addition to the repair.
2. Query the Operator of the Instrument.
Get a description of the problem and inform the operator that you will need him/her to
demonstrate the problem to you when you arrive. A description of the problem should
include the symptoms displayed and also the type of problem. Determining the type of
problem helps you establish your approach to solving the problem and confirming the repair.
All problems can be broadly categorized into one of three types:

• Solid Failure - the problem presents itself continuously.

• Intermittent Duplicable - the problem is intermittent in nature. Usually a specific
sequence of events reproduces the intermittent symptom, although occasionally these
problems may be random in nature. By performing the proper sequence of events, the
problem can usually be reproduced. If a sequence of events readily reproduces the
problem, examination of this sequence of events may help identify the faulty assembly.
• Intermittent Non-Duplicable - the problem is intermittent, and all reasonable attempts
at recreating the symptoms fail. These are the most difficult problems to resolve.
3. Check for Field Service Bulletins that Address the Problem.
If a service bulletin addresses a resolution, be sure to take the necessary equipment to
perform the changes.
While On-Site:
1. Have the Operator Demonstrate the Problem.
This is very important. Before doing anything, always have the operator attempt to
demonstrate the problem to you. By having the operator demonstrate the problem, you may
solve the problem immediately, or avoid some incorrect assumptions. Having the operator
demonstrate the problem will ALWAYS result in one of the following:
• Reveals Operator Error - You may immediately see that the cause of the problem is
operator error. You then have the opportunity to train the customer in the proper use of
the instrument, instead of spending time troubleshooting a nonexistent instrument
problem.
• Demonstrate specific problem sequence - The operator will show you the specific
sequence of events needed to reproduce the problem, reducing your diagnostic time.
• Help Form Ideas - The operator may not be able to duplicate the problem. However, the
sequence of steps used to demonstrate the problem will give you ideas on how to pursue
the problem in other ways. In this case you have the opportunity to explain to the
customer the difficulty in resolving a non-duplicable problem.
2. Resolve the Obvious.
Obvious mechanical or physical defects should be resolved when discovered. Often,
resolving the obvious will lead you to the real problem.
3. Substitute the Failing Assembly
Once you have deduced which assembly is at fault, or is suspected to be at fault, it should be
substituted with a known good assembly.
4. Confirm the Repair.
After an assembly is replaced, confirmation should be made by reinstalling the failing
assembly to witness the original symptom. This assures the effectiveness of the repair.
(This also reduces the number of No Problem Found PCBs returned to Depot repair
facilities.) Confirming the repair often helps to bolster customer confidence, as well. To
avoid repeat service calls it is especially important to confirm intermittent problems. Time
spent confirming a repair is time well spent.
Note: If the problem still exists, reinstall the original assembly that you removed, and
then continue with troubleshooting.
5.2.1 Solving Solid Failures:

It is usually straightforward deductive logic or electrical checks that will lead you to replace the
faulty assembly. After replacement of the assembly in question resolves the symptom, it is
imperative that you CONFIRM THE REPAIR by reinstalling the original assembly and
witnessing the original symptoms again. For many assemblies this is the only means of
positively verifying that the replacement circuitry has resolved the problem.
5.2.2 Solving Intermittent Duplicable Failures:

These failures are resolved in the same manner as solid failures but always require more time to
resolve and confirm.
The frequency of the problem helps you determine how long it will take to verify a repair. A
good rule of thumb when troubleshooting intermittent problems is: 2 times the frequency of the
symptom gives an 80% confidence level of the repair.
EXAMPLE:
Problem
The problem appears only about once an hour. The sequence of events needed to reproduce
the problem leads you to believe a circuit board is the likely cause.
Solution
The suspected circuit board is replaced. To provide an 80% confidence level that the circuit
board resolved the problem, the instrument will need to be tested for 2 hours without failing.
5.2.3 Solving Intermittent Non-Duplicable Failures:

These failures present the greatest difficulty to the Field Service Engineer. The most effective
means for resolving these types of problems requires careful thought and the utilization of all
available resources that the Field Service Engineer possesses.
It is important that before replacing an assembly, good solid rationale for its replacement be
developed and a backup plan devised in case replacement of the assembly does not affect the
symptom. It is best NOT to replace any hardware until solid rationale for replacement is clearly
evident.
Once an assembly is replaced by a Field Service Engineer, the customer's expectations are set for
a hardware resolution to the problem. This can prove to be a handicap. A good sequence to
follow for resolving intermittent non-duplicable problems is:
1. Analyze the service history in detail. Look for trends or the possibility of a previous repair
inducing the problem.
2. Query the operator(s) at length for any other clues such as:
• Times of failures;
• More failures with certain operators.
3. Watch the operator set up and use the instrument.
4. Check all Field Service Bulletins.
5. Contact other Field Service Engineers involved in previous repairs.

6. Look at the operating environment - static, power, grounding, temperature or rate of

temperature change, humidity, etc.
7. Contact your Technical Support Specialists.
8. Keep a record of everything you've done to solve the problem.
9. Document the customer service report. Record what you feel should happen if the problem
returns. This will help a different Field Service Engineer in the resolution of the problem.
10. Give the customer a thorough update on the situation.
11. Educate the customer on logging pertinent information that may benefit a Field Service
Engineer should the problem return. Often, engaging the customer in the pursuit of a
solution emphasizes the difficulty of the situation. In some instances, the customer may
welcome the feeling of being involved in resolution of the problem.
5.3 Power-On Self Test

Each time the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System is powered on, it automatically executes a
series of power-on self tests. These tests first check System Software and Host Software, then
initialize the Fluidics, Pneumatics and PD (Phaco, Diathermy) Processors on the Subsystem
Controller PCB. Communication protocols are run on the Footpedal, Remote Control and IV
Pole. Tests are then run on the system Diagnostics and Doctor Database, after which the
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System begins running background diagnostics. Completion of
individual tests is indicated by a green color bar and a “100% Passed” displayed on the screen.
Fig. 5-1: Startup Self Test Screen

As shown in Fig. 5-1, the “power-on” diagnostics tests being performed are as following:
• System Software
• Host Software
• Footpedal
• IV Pole
• PD Processor
• Fluidics Processor
• Pneumatics Firmware
• Diagnostics
• Doctor Database
System LED Indicators
During the power-on sequence and normal operation, three red Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
(D9, D15 and D32) on the Subsystem Controller PCB will blink randomly indicating the
Diagnostics (D9), Fluidic (D15) and Pneumatic (D32) subsystems are functioning properly (Fig.
5-2). If an LED fails to illuminate, this is an indication of a malfunction within the designated
subsystem. Note: LED D9 is not directly visible and is hidden behind the Phaco Controller
Adapter PCB. However, when viewed at an angle and in the direction shown by the red arrow in
Fig. 5-2 below, LED D9 is clearly viewable.
Fig. 5-2: Subsystem Controller Board LEDs D9, D15, D32

There are four additional green LEDs on the Subsystem Controller PCB (Fig. 5-3) that are
voltage indicators and will illuminate when appropriate voltages are present. Refer to Table 5-2.
Table 5-2: LED Voltage Indicators
LED Indicator Voltage

D25 +12 VDC
D26 +24 VDC
D27 +5 VDC
D28 -12 VDC
Fig. 5-3: Subsystem Controller PCB LEDs D25, D26, D27, D28
Instrument Manager SBC PCB LED Indicators

Under normal operating condition, LED D1 on the Instrument Manager SBC PCB will turn on
within 5 seconds after the system is powered on. The LED will then turn off momentarily and
come back on blinking, indicating that communications between the Instrument Manager SBC
PCB (Instrument Host) and the GUI Manager SBC PCB (GUI Host) has been established (Fig.
5-4). This LED will remain blinking as long as communication between the two PCBs is not
interrupted.

Fig. 5-4: Instrument Manager SBC PCB LED D1
Rear Panel Connector PCB LED Indicators

Visible on the Rear Panel Connector PCB are four green voltage indicator LEDs (D12, D13, D14
and D15) and one red (D10) Footpedal zero switch indicator LED (Fig. 5-5). All four green
LEDs should be lit under normal operation. The red LED (D10) should be lit when the
Footpedal is at rest (zero switch activated). When the Footpedal is pressed down (zero switch
deactivated), the red LED should turn off.
Fig. 5-5: Rear Panel Connector LEDs D12, D13, D14, D15, D10

Other LEDs located on the Rear Panel Connector PCB are D1, D3, D6, and D7. LEDs D1 and
D3 are associated with the Footpedal. Under normal operating conditions, D1 and D3 are not lit.
If they are lit (Fig. 5-6), this indicates a problem with the Footpedal. The Footpedal may not be
connected properly, it is defective or the Footpedal cable is defective.
Fig. 5-6: Rear Panel Connector PCB LEDs D1 and D3
LEDs D6 and D7 (Fig. 5-7) also located on the Rear Panel Connector PCB, relate to the
programmable IV pole. These LEDs are upper and lower limit switch indicators. When the IV
pole reaches its maximum height (approximately 106cm) D6 will illuminate red (Fig. 5-8).
When the IV pole contracts to its lowest position, D7 illuminates green (Fig. 5-9).
Fig. 5-7: Rear Panel Connector Board LEDs D6 and D7

Fig. 5-8: Rear Panel Connector PCB, LED D6
Fig. 5-9: Rear Panel Connector PCB, LED D7

Remote Control LED Indicators

There are two LEDs on the Remote Control PCB inside the Remote Control; LEDs D30 and D31
(Fig. 5-10). LED D30 illuminates red (Fig. 5-11) continually as long as the Remote Control
PCB circuitry is functioning properly and all four batteries are installed and are charged. Once
the batteries lose their charge the LED turns OFF indicating the batteries need to be recharged or
replaced. It is important to note that when installing batteries into the remote control, be sure
that LED D30 turns ON (red) before reassembling the remote control cover.
Fig. 5-10: Remote Control LEDs D30 and D31

Fig. 5-11: Remote Control LED D30
LED D31 will turn green (Fig. 5-12) when the remote control is paired with its respective
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System.
Fig. 5-12: Remote Control LED D31
Base Charge Controller PCB LED Indicators

There are four LED indicators on the Base Charge Controller PCB that provide a visual
indication about the status and condition of the Base Charge Controller functions:
• The red LED D16 will turn on if there is an open or short condition on the +12V circuitry of
the Base Charge Controller PCB. In that case, fuse F2 on the PCB might be blown.
• The red LED D17 will turn on if there is an open or short condition on the +24V circuitry of
the Base Charge Controller PCB. In that case, fuse F1 on the PCB might be blown.

• LED D18 is a dual LED. The top amber LED turns on when the Remote Control is being
charged on the top charging cradle. The bottom amber LED turns on when the Dual Linear
Footpedal (future option) or the Remote Control is being charged on the base charging cradle
(Fig.5-13).
• LED D19 is a tri-color, tri-LED showing the charging status of the SLA Battery (Fig. 5-14).
When the system is turned on the amber LED initially starts blinking and then stays on solid
indicating that the SLA Battery is being charged. When the SLA Battery is completely
charged, the green LED turns on. The red LED when turned on, indicates that the SLA
Battery is not connected or is defective.

Fig. 5-14: Base Charge Controller PCB LED D19

5.4 Logs
The WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System maintains logs of useful data and historical
information for troubleshooting. Theses logs are stored on the Hard Disk Drive. The available
logs are the events log and the error log. These logs are nonvolatile (data is maintained when
power is turned off).
5.4.1 Events and Error Log

The Events Log and the Error Log contain information that may be valuable for troubleshooting
instrument problems. Total of 1000 error entries and 1000 event entries are stored on the Hard

5.7.2 Fuse Replacement Procedure

If the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System does not POWER ON when the power switch is
turned ON, and you have confirmed that the power cord is properly connected and plugged in, it
may be possible that a fuse has blown.
To prevent the risk of fire or damage to the instrument, replace the fuses with the exact type and
rating as indicated below.
Table 5-3: Fuse Specifications
Location Voltage Quantity Fuse Specifications

Console 100/120/240 2 6.3A, 250V, Bussman GDA 6.3 (or equivalent)
To replace the console fuses:

1. Unplug the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System from electrical power and the power cord
from the back panel.
2. Locate the fuse holder on the back panel of the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System (Fig.
5-18).
3. Using a small screwdriver, gently pry open the cover to expose the fuse holder.
4. Gently pry out the fuse holder.
5. Pop out the bad fuse(s) and replace it (them) with new fuse(s) (value and size specified
above).
6. Install the fuse holder, making sure that the arrows are pointing towards the right of the back
panel. Tilt the fuse holder slightly to the right and push in.
7. Push the fuse holder cover up and in until it snaps closed.

8. Reconnect the power cord to the back panel and plug into a wall receptacle.

5.7.3 Most Common User-Correctable Problems

Use the information in this section if you are unable to successfully complete the System Check-
out. Consult this section to resolve the problem before you call AMO for technical service.
Before you call AMO for service:
• Make sure that the System is plugged in.
• Make sure that there is electrical power to the receptacles.
• If there isn’t any Phacoemulsification, make sure that the Phaco needle is properly tightened
on the Handpiece.
• If there isn’t any Phacoemulsification, make sure that the Phaco needle is compatible with
the Handpiece (for example, non-AMO Phaco needle on an AMO Handpiece).
• If there isn’t any Phacoemulsification, confirm that Phaco needle/Handpiece was not
damaged by dropping or misuse.
• If no irrigation occurs, shake the drip chamber to confirm that the ball or valve rattles freely.
If there is no rattle sound, replace the tubing pack.
5.7.4 Error Handling

The Fluidics, Pneumatics and PD controller sub-systems are the only software-controlled sub-
systems that impact safety. Whenever a functional error occurs, the user may not access the
effected sub-system until the error is cleared. The exception is for diagnostics / maintenance
mode where attempt is made to communicate with the disabled device in order to diagnose the
problem or to execute a self-test in order to clear the error.
5.7.5 System Operation Error Messages

5.7.5.1 Advisory, Warning and Error Messages
The display on the system gives Status, Warning and Error Messages for certain problems.
The message can present possible solutions or recommendations to clear the error. The

7 Parts
7.1 Introduction
This section contains Level 1 parts lists and associated information for the WHITESTAR
SIGNATURE™ Phaco System. It contains instructions for ordering parts and returning
defective parts.
7.2 Parts Orders – US Domestic Service Operations

Parts needed overnight or spare parts may be ordered by calling your local AMO Service
Operations Team Monday through Friday. Customers are billed for shipping charges, including
any customs fees required.
7.3 Parts Orders - International Service Operations

Parts needed overnight or spare parts may be ordered by calling your local AMO Service
Operations Team Monday through Friday. Customers are billed for shipping charges, including
any customs fees required.
7.4 Returning Instruments / Defective Parts

When equipment or parts needs to be returned to AMO, it is important that it is properly packed
for shipment, and that an RMA Tag for each item being returned is included with the equipment
or parts shipped. A Return Authorization number may be obtained by calling AMO Surgical
Service Operations. Direct AMO Field Service Engineers will use the AMO RSM Client
Solution to process returned parts.
Note: When equipment is received, the original packing materials should be preserved for
possible later use. Costs to repair equipment damage caused by improper packing for
shipment to AMO Regional Hub become the responsibility of the sender.
7.4.1 Equipment Return Authorization

Authorization must be obtained from the local AMO Surgical Service Operations before parts
and/or assemblies are returned for repair. A Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number is
required for each part and/or assembly being returned to AMO Regional Hub.
7.4.2 Packing the Instrument for Shipment

Defective instrument subassemblies / parts should be packed in the shipping container received
with the replacement subassembly or part.
7.4.3 Returning Defective Parts

The return of defective subassemblies is very important. Subassemblies are rebuilt and returned
to service stock, and are available as needed by the Service Engineers. Inventory is kept low to
keep operating costs down.

When you return parts and/or assemblies to the AMO Regional Hub, attach the AMO "RMA
Tag"(Refer to Appendix C) to the ESD bag (or box) of each defective part.
The Field Service Engineer retains one copy of the Tag (green) and attaches the rest of the copies
to the part returned. The following sections of the RMA Tag must be completed by Field
Service Engineer:
• Date
• RMA/Call #
• System S/N: (Serial Number)
• Part #
• Description
• FSE (Field Service Engineer)
• Failed in Machine
• Failed on Arrival
• Returned Unused
• Used for Troubleshooting
• Patient Injury
• Problem
This information will enable the AMO Repair Centers to make repairs as efficiently as possible.
Also, the Service Parts Return Tag will be used to remove the part from the Field Service
Engineer's inventory.
When you receive spare or replacement parts from the AMO Parts Department, save the
packaging material for returning the defective part for repair. Many of the parts are delicate and
expensive; extra attention to packaging will pay off in less damage to parts during shipment.
7.5 Available Spares Parts

Parts that are recommended as spares for supporting field repairs as well as Depot repair for the
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System are listed in Field Service Bulletin titled Available Spare
Parts (NGP-002). A list of available tools, test equipment and service supplies are included in
