Abstract: A surgical system is provided having all of the various pneumatic control subsystems integrally mounted on a common manifold (210). The various required control mechanisms such as valves are likewise integrally mounted to the common manifold. Air cylinders (245) for valve actuation are directly installed in bores (256) in the manifold, and pressurized air for the air cylinders is supplied to the cylinders through the manifold. Such a construction eliminates the need to use external air tubing to supply the air cylinders with pressurized air, thereby improving reliability and simplifying construction.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide top and bottom clamping of a surgical cassette. One embodiment of the present invention includes a surgical casset te adapted for use in a surgical system having a first side (e.g., an inner side) and second side (e.g., an outer side). The surgical cassette, according to one embodiment, comprises a body portion configured to interface on its first side with a surgical console during use, a first clamping portion projecting from the top of the body portion configured to contact a first clamp rail on the cassette's second side during use and a second clamping portion projecting from the bottom of the body portion configured to contact a second clamp rail on the cassette's second side duri ng use.

Abstract: A surgical system having a console that receives a cassette with a rigid flu id channel formed into a rigid plastic component or housing. The housing serves as a substrate for an elastomeric acoustic coupling that can be formed on the housing outside of t he fluid channel. The acoustic transducer is elastically mounted within the console, such as o n a spring, so as to provide a relatively constant force between the transducer and the acoustic coupling when the cassette is installed in the console.
