7.1 REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Do not use bleach or abrasive cleansers on any surfaces of the main body.
Return the iLase to the charging station for recharging between procedures or when the low-battery
indicator is illuminated.
Periodically check the laser aperture for contamination. If
the aperture appears contaminated, wipe with a cotton
swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol until clean. The
iLase cover must be removed from the main body to be able to access the laser aperture for cleaning.
WARNING:
Failure to clean the aperture when contaminated, will lead to reduced optical power efficiency
and permanent damage to the system. To prevent aperture contamination, please keep the tip plug or
protective cover attached to the handpiece when not in use.
7.2 iLASE COVER GRIP REPLACEMENT
Although the iLase cover is designed to survive repeated autoclave sterilization cycles, its rubber grip
may become worn or damaged through repeated use. The grip has been designed to be replaceable
by the user if it becomes necessary. The iLase system is shipped with two additional grips for this
purpose.
To replace the rubber grip, remove the iLase cover from the main body. Slide the old grip off of the
small end of the cover and slide a new rubber grip onto the same end with the large end of the grip
first. Ensure that the grip alignment tabs on the grip snap into the grip alignment holes on the cover,
