ZEISS patented QUATTRO Pump

Experience chamber stability independent of IOP and flow

ZEISS patented QUATTRO pump is designed to minimize surge effect with regard to length and parameter settings.

  • ZEISS QUATERA 700 is designed to maintain chamber stability superior over competitive device

    QUATERA 700´s control system when aspirating is better able to compensate for variations in leakage flow when irrigating and aspirating fluid.

    Shorter duration and higher consistency

    QUATERA 700’s surge duration times are shorter and more consistent at all levels compared to Competitor A´s Vision System with Active Fluidics.1

    Active leakage compensation

    ZEISS QUATERA 700’s control system when aspirating is better able to compensate for variations in leakage flow when irrigating and aspirating fluid. This leads to the fact, that ZEISS QUATERA 700 demonstrated better incision leakage compensation than Competitor A.1

Great control at every step

One surgical view:

With one surgical view, everyone in the OR gets the same view as the surgeon.

One sterile cockpit:

ZEISS QUATERA 700 unites all elements of the ZEISS Cataract Workflow. You no longer have to switch between multiple user interfaces and parameters or different setups.

One data access:

With the integration of patient data from ZEISS IOLMaster and ZEISS FORUM, take advantage of paperless timeout checks and ensure that you have relevant information at hand.

Automated Ultrasound Power on Demand

Use automated ultrasound only when needed – upon occlusion

Power on Demand (PoD) is an ultrasound management technology that automatically (de)activates ultrasound only when needed.

Automated Ultrasound Power on Demand

Uncompromised efficiency

Surgeons report excellent ultrasound in terms of ultrasound energy applied and followability without compromises on efficiency.

Less stressful surgical environment

The surgical workflow integration and automated ultrasound activation are designed to deliver a less stressful surgical environment.

    Prof. Kris Rallah-Baker, recognized as Australia's first Indigenous ophthalmologist, shares his experience with the ZEISS QUATERA 700. He discusses its seamless integration within his surgical workflow, the consistent intraoperative environment it provides, and how its advanced fluidics and system responsiveness support his approach to cataract surgery. These features enable him to focus more on technique and precision.

"It’s the most pure, phaco experience that I’ve had, because I’m able to concentrate on what I do best. And that is removing the cataract. Not worry about making up for the unpredictability of the phaco machine."
Dr. Sri Ganesh, India
Dr. Sri Ganesh is wearing a red bow tie and blue suit in an indoor setting.

"In my experience, the chamber is absolutely stable, irrespective of the type of cataract, irrespective of the situation. It ensures safety and efficiency and you can work at the highest vacuum levels and flow rates and there absolutely is no chamber instability. This is something which is very assuring and I am very confident about operating even on the toughest cases, the toughest cataracts."
Dr. Wolfram Wehner, Germany

"Using the new Power on Demand function, I noticed an immediate drop in my ultrasound usage. Overall I save about two-thirds of ultrasound and for grade 2 cataracts and below I don't require any ultrasound at all."
Dr. Florian Kretz, Germany

"The higher aspiration presets definitely help with efficiency during surgery. I needed no ultrasound for cataract grade 2 and below. The small amount required for grade 3 and up was still much less than with other phaco machines."
Dr. Manolette Roque, Phillipines
Dr. Manolette Roque is wearing a navy blazer, light blue button-down shirt in front of the gray studio background.

“The QUATTRO Pump is really the game changer here because suddenly it’s a very stable chamber and compensates for all leakage. That’s what we all want in a machine.“
Dr. Nilesh Kumar, India

“ZEISS QUATERA 700 is not just an incremental upgrade, it's a generational leap in phaco technology. It combines high-performance fluidics with intelligent pressure modulation, allowing the surgeon to operate faster, safer, and with greater confidence across all cataract grades.”
Dr. Richard Barry, Australia
Dr. Richard Barry is wearing a black collared button-down shirt against a plain white background.

“It’s all about safety, and it’s about comfort, consistency, reliability, and trust between what the machine is going to do when you give the information with your foot pedal. ZEISS QUATERA 700 has delivered that better than any other machine I’ve used to date. And I’ve really used all of them.”
