The following conventions apply in this manual:
• Left and Right sides of the instrument are as viewed from the front of the instrument, unless
noted otherwise.
• Dimensions are given in Metric, unless noted otherwise.
• All tool sizes for screws and nuts mentioned in the instructions are Metric, unless noted
otherwise.
Your service bulletins should be filed where easily accessible for quick reference.
NOTICE
Field Service Bulletins are Confidential and Proprietary, for the sole use of personnel
employed by Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. and Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. affiliates.
Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. has a well-deserved reputation for high quality, reliable
instruments, unsurpassed in the industry. However, in the hands of an unethical
competitor, relatively minor issues discussed in service bulletins can be distorted to cause
the instrument owner unjustified concerns regarding the instrument.
As an Advanced Medical Optics affiliate, employee, or distributor you are required
to handle your service bulletins as proprietary and confidential information.
• 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.
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.
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.

Fig. 1-8: Fluidic Subsystem Block Diagram for Dual Pump FUSION™ Pack
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.
Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump: A DC motor with dual vacuum pump heads.
Venturi Select Valve: A valve to connect the Venturi Port to the Vacuum Reservoir.
Rotary Vane Select Valve: A valve to connect the Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump to the
Vacuum Reservoir.
Vacuum Reservoir: A vacuum tank that is a source Reservoir for the Vacuum
Regulator.
Vacuum Regulator: Regulates its source vacuum, the Vacuum Reservoir, down to a
vacuum level set by a 4 to 20 mA current loop interface.
Pack Vacuum Valve: This valve connects the Vacuum Regulator to the Evacuation
Chamber in the FUSION™ Dual Pump Pack.
Vacuum Dump Valve: This valve relieves vacuum in the Evacuation Chamber of the
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.
The block diagram below (Fig. 1-14) shows the Diathermy power control signals.
The MaxDrive IV PCB has a number of functional areas within the PCB which include
power supply monitoring, Phaco Power control, Phaco Driver, Phaco Sense Circuitry, as
well as Diathermy driver and control (Fig. 1-19).
The Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) associated with the SLA battery located on the Base
Charge Controller PCB are off except under the following conditions:
• Charge cycle initiated (blinking yellow)
• No battery (solid red)
• Shorted battery (solid red)
• Open circuit (solid red)
• Battery in fast charge (solid yellow)
• End of charge (solid green)

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.
1.9.3 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).

experience identifies recurrent problems and appropriate diagnostic processes, this section will
be expanded to include additional troubleshooting aids.
Note: If the problem still exists, reinstall the original assembly that you removed, and
then continue with troubleshooting.
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ Service Manual 5-2 Z371100 Rev. B
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
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.
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.
Fig. 5-3: Subsystem Controller PCB LEDs D25, D26, D27, D28
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.
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).
LED D31 will turn green (Fig. 5-12) when the remote control is paired with its respective
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System.
• 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.

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).
2. On the popup screen (Fig. 5-16), choose “System Configuration”. From the System
Configuration screen, “Operator Diagnostic” is selected by default.
3. The Diagnostic screen (Fig. 5-17) displays the Diagnostic Routines, Logs, System Utilities
and Database Management functions that are accessible to the user.
4. Press the button for the diagnostic routine you wish to run or view. The Service and Factory
Diagnostic routines can only be accessed by authorized AMO service personnel.
As shown in Fig. 5-14, the Operator Diagnostics Mode is separated into four categories:
1. Tests + Diagnostics
2. Logs + Service Time
3. Utilities + Software
4. Database Management
The following is a brief description of each category.
In addition to the functions available under Operator Diagnostics, the “Service Diagnostics”
provides two additional functions under “Logs + Service Time”, and “Database Management”
sections which are available to the authorized AMO service personnel: Reset Service Interval,
and Clear the Surgeon Database.
8. Reconnect the power cord to the back panel and plug into a wall receptacle.
There are four different types of messages on the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE™ System:
• Faults
Immediate System Halt-no recovery possible (try cycling power)
System Transitions to Safe State
• Errors/Alerts
Message is displayed in red until cleared
Disables some functions until condition is cleared
Once cleared, the message is displayed in yellow until acknowledged
• Advisories
Displayed in yellow until acknowledge
• Log Information
Logged, but not displayed
Messages which read “Recycle Power” as a Corrective Action means that you turn the
System OFF through proper shutdown process, wait a few seconds, and then turn the System
back ON.

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.
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.
Tools Required
• Large flat head screw driver or similar tool
• Utility knife
Procedure
1. Before un-crating the Console Assembly, ensure that the Tilt and Shock indicators (Fig. B-2)
on the crate have not been triggered.
2. Locate the ramp panel and maneuver the crate to create ten feet of clearance in front of the
ramp panel (Fig. B-3).
3. Unlock all four Link Locks (two on the top door and two on the ramp panel) by twisting
them in a counter clockwise direction (Fig. B-4). Lift up and open the top door.
6. Unlock the two locking casters by pushing up on the lock lever (Fig. B-6).
7. Remove the two foam velcro pieces from the ramp panel. Do not discard the foam velcro
pieces.
8. Locate the ramp extension inside the crate’s left side panel (Fig. B-7).
9. Remove the wing nut. Do not discard.
10. Position the ramp extension at the front of the ramp panel (Fig. B-7).
