Cumulative Dissipated Energy
Cumulative Dissipated Energy (CDE) is an estimation of the energy at the incision site experienced during the removal of cataractous lens and is measured in %-secs. The incision is defined as 5.6mm back from the cutting edge of the tip. A lower CDE indicates that less energy was present at the incision site.
Time frame: Day 0 (operative day), each eye
Aspiration (ASP) Fluid Used
Aspiration fluid used is the amount of aspiration fluid used during the removal of the cataractous lens. A lower value indicates that less fluid was removed from the eye.
Time frame: Day 0 (operative day), each eye
Aspiration Time
Aspiration Time indicated the amount of time the system was aspirating during the removal of the cataractous lens. A lower value indicates that the surgeon spent less time aspirating fluid and material from the eye during surgery.
Time frame: Day 0 (operative day), each eye
