Candela Corporation AlexTriVantage Laser System
Caution! Do not enter the Ready state without a fiber installed and without having the
proper protective eyewear on.
Caution! Before the laser system is turned on, a Handpiece must be installed on the
end of the optical fiber.
Caution! Handpiece lens and the tips of the laser fiber may be damaged from
exposure to dust particles or any other foreign particles that may deposit on their
surfaces. Particles on these surfaces will burn and leave a deposit when exposed to
laser energy. This may lead to lower fiber or Handpiece transmission and/or failure of
the assembly. In order to reduce the probability of damage please observe the
following guidelines.
Caution! To reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the Delivery System
cable, use the Fiber Pole to support the delivery system at all times. When not in use,
insert the Handpiece in the Calibration Port. This removes excess slack from the
Delivery System cable and reduces the possibility of damage to property and/or
personal injury from stepping on or tripping on the cable or running the wheels over it.
Caution! When using the Fiber Pole to support the Delivery System, make sure there
are no sharp bends in the Delivery System cable. The laser system can be damaged if
the cable is subjected to excessive bending. To prevent damage, never pulse the laser
system if the Delivery System cable bend radius is less than six inches.
