Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to a method of preparing for conducting a phacoemulsification procedure, comprising: querying a lookup table maintained on a control unit of a phacoemulsification device, the lookup table being for a series of fluid related parameters, wherein the table comprises a plurality of fluid parameter related conditions potentially expected to be encountered during the phacoemulsification procedure and a plurality of warning entries, each warning entry associated with fluid parameter related conditions potentially expected to be encountered during the phacoemulsification procedure. The method further comprises issuing a warning to an operator when a warning entry for one fluid parameter related condition potentially expected to be encountered during the phacoemulsification procedure corresponds to a level of performance outside a predetermined range.
