The function selected with the cursor will flash.

To exit the service mode, press the RESET button at any time.

The service mode is divided into the following different menus:

- Resetting of surgeon data for one or all surgeon memories.

SURG-MEM INTERNAL
- Internal copying of surgeon data.
- Saving and retrieving data with USB stick.
SURG-MEM USB
- Copying of surgeon data from USB stick.

SNXXYYNNNN Serial number

SWCXX.YY SW version application programme
BOOTYYY SW version boot programme

6.3 Setting default values

All the limit values (stored values), pedal control and ParaProg settings can be reset to the values recommended by the
manufacturer in the SURG-MEM INTERNAL menu.

· In the SURG-MEM INTERNAL menu, select the surgeon storage location first or choose ALL for all surgeons by
keeping the AUX key depressed while pressing the keys below "SELECT SURGEON”.
· Confirm "SET ALL PARAMETER DEFAULT?" by pressing the Enter button ( 8 ).
· Confirm "CONFIRM DEFAULT?" by pressing the Enter button ( 8 ).

6.4 Save and import surgeon data

It is possible to store all surgeon and system parameters on a USB stick in the SURG-MEM USB menu. The USB stick must
be formatted as described in the section “Software update / device”.

Possibilities:

All data (settings, ParaProg, pedal settings, system parameters) from all surgeons will
"WRITE ALL TO USB"
be stored on the USB stick.
All surgeon data (settings, ParaProg, pedal settings) of all surgeons will be restored
"READ ALL FROM USB"
from the USB stick (with the surgeon’s name on the USB stick).
All surgeon data (settings, ParaProg, pedal settings) of only one surgeon will be
copied from the USB stick to a specified surgeon memory in the CataRhex 3 device.
The surgeon name in CataRhex 3 will not be changed.
"READ SURGEON FROM USB"
It is very important that the software version in the destination unit is equal to
or higher than the software version in the unit containing the source data!

In the menu SURG-MEM INTERNAL with the function “COPY SURGEON MEMORY” it is possible to copy all surgeon
settings (settings, ParaProg, pedal settings) from one surgeon memory to another selectable memory position. The surgeon
name from the destination will not be changed.

6.5 Checking and calibrating the pedal

The pedal settings can be checked and re-calibrated in the PEDAL menu. As part of this process, the mechanical positions
are synchronised with the sensor values. These values are then stored in the pedal. This means that a calibrated pedal can
also be operated with a different CataRhex 3 unit.

The CataRhex 3 unit will automatically detect whether another type of pedal is connected. SwissTech pedals can be used
with CataRhex 3 as well. OS3 and faros pedals cannot be used with CataRhex 3.

Display:

8 Software update
8.1 Device
The service interface is located below the display.

1 Service interface
2 Connections for vitrectomy handpiece
3 Connection for diathermy handpiece
4 Connection for phaco handpiece

New software can be loaded onto the device using a conventional USB memory stick. The stick must be properly formatted.

The connector with the name “Service” is to be used as the interface. This is a standard USB interface.

DANGER!
This connector is not designed for connecting conventional
components like printers, etc. Connecting such components poses a
risk to the safety of the patient!

The USB controller in the device only supports USB memory devices formatted in FAT12, FAT16 or FAT32 (FAT being the
name of the file system used) with a sector size of 512 bytes. In addition, only mass storage devices which support SCSI or
AT instructions are acceptable.

1. In order to format the USB mass storage device correctly, a command window must be opened in Windows. Start à
Execute à type in “cmd”.
2. In the command window, type in the following line: FORMAT “Name” /FS:FAT32 /A:512.
“Name” is the designation of the drive for the USB mass storage device (e.g. H:).

On USB mass storage devices larger than 2GB this formatting procedure is not possible for the whole device. In that case,
the device has to be divided into different partitions where the primary partition has to be smaller than 2GB.

Please note that executing the format command is usually only possible with administrator privileges.
The USB memory will not be recognized if a sector size other than 512 byte is used.

Once the USB memory is formatted, it can be used for any number of updates, as long as the file system is not altered.

The software (CR3AS_xxxx.BIN) can now be copied to the USB memory stick using a standard Explorer window. Care
should be taken that all of the older software on the memory stick is deleted in advance and that the software is copied to
the main directory.

Procedure:

1. Insert the USB stick into the “Service” connector. Ensure that it is the right way round.
2. When starting up, hold the “Reset” key depressed until the programme opens the boot loader (approx. 4 sec).

The update procedure will then start automatically. It is important not to interrupt this process (by pulling out the memory
stick)!

A new programme will be installed during the update. It is subsequently tested for proper execution. If, for some reason, the
procedure cannot be completed successfully, the partially programmed firmware on the device will be deleted. In this
situation, the device cannot be operated until new software has been installed.
