    The CENTURION™ OZIL™ HANDPIECE is not limited to a number of uses.  As stated in the Directions for Use (DFU), reuse is limited by physical damage and failure of pre-surgical check cycle.  Each time the handpiece is connected to the driving console, it performs a check cycle. If the handpiece performs improperly and fails the check cycle, remove it from the driving console and return it to Alcon for evaluation.  Before each use, the handpiece and power cord should be inspected for damage (e.g. nicks, crimps, dents and exposed wires). If the handpiece is damaged it should be immediately removed from service.  Use of a damaged handpiece may result in serious permanent patient injury.

    During filling of the viscoelastic syringe, a small amount of air can remain in the syringe tip. This amount of air can easily be flushed out when following the instructions for use as mentioned in the package insert. In order to avoid that this air migrates into the body of the syringe we recommend that the syringe is stored upright.

    Alcon stability studies indicate that orientation of the syringe filled with OVD product has no effect on the product’s physicochemical stability and additionally indicate that the product should be stored upright and given time to allow the air bubble to move back to the end of the syringe prior to use in surgery.

    CLAREON™ intraocular lenses do not contain metallic properties and are considered MRI-compatible.
