UIC03 means “Phase/Mode change not allowed while surgical functions are in use.” Stop the active surgical functions, then change the phase or mode.
Filed under Error codes
UIC03 is a state restriction, not a failed touch screen or corrupted surgeon file. The system blocks a phase or mode change while a surgical function is active.
- Stop the active surgical function.
- Confirm that the system is no longer using the surgical function.
- Change the phase or mode.
The manual’s suggested action is explicitly to change Phase/Mode “while surgical functions are not in use.” This condition matters when a user tries to move between Ultrasound, Irrigation/Aspiration, Irrigation, Coagulation, or Vitrectomy while the system is still active. Do not interpret the message as saying that the selected phase or mode is unavailable; it says the change is not allowed at that moment. Once the active function is released or stopped, the phase or mode change can be attempted again.
