LENS INSPECTION PROCEDURE
The lens is at the distal end of the Fiber Optic Cable (Figure 9.2); this is where debris may accumulate
over time with use. To inspect the lens, take the following steps:
1. Remove the Handpiece from the fiber shaft.
2. Inspect the distal end of the fiber using a magnifier or loupes with at least
10X magnification (Figure 9.3).
3. Inspect the lens.
CLEANING THE LENS
If debris or dark spots are observed on the lens, clean the window using the
procedure outlined below.
1. Always use a new, unused Microbrush (provided) to clean the lens
(Figure 9.4).
2. Dip the Microbrush in isopropyl alcohol.
3. Gently rub the lens surface to remove debris or dark spots
(Figure 9.5).
4. Repeat as needed using a new Mirocbrush each time until no residue
appears on the swab.
CAUTION:
DO NOT inspect the lens while the laser system is powered on; the aiming
beam or laser beam can permanently impair vision if aimed at the eye.
CAUTION:
Never reuse single-use Tips as this will damage the Fiber Optic Cable.
CAUTION:
If blemishes appear below or inside the lens,
contact BIOLASE or your authorized service representative to
order a replacement lens.
