Advanced Medical Optics announced the launch of its WhiteStar Signature phacoemulsification system at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting in San Diego. The new system combines AMO's WhiteStar technology with its Fusion dual pump fluidic system to improve chamber stability and reduce post-occlusion surge, according to a press release from the company.

The system also features a streamlined user interface and a one step, one hand cassette, intuitive touch screen and intelligent help feature, according to the release.

David Chang, MD, clinical professor of ophthalmology at the University of California, San Francisco, said the dual pump marks a step forward in phaco fluidics.

"The dual pump represents the next generation in phaco fluidics, and the new user interface is a significant improvement for surgeons and staff," he said in the press release.
