Candela Corporation AlexTriVantage Laser System
Electrical and Mechanical Hazards
WARNING! The AlexTriVantage Laser converts and amplifies the AC line voltage to
produce extremely high voltages inside the laser system which are very dangerous,
even lethal. It is possible for high voltage components to retain a charge after the
power supply has been turned off, and even after the AlexTriVantage Laser has been
disconnected from the line voltage. Therefore, no part of the exterior housing should be
displaced, except by a trained and authorized technician.
WARNING! The AlexTriVantage Laser System laser delivery system utilizes fiber
optics that can be damaged if installed or subjected to excessive bending. To avoid
damage to the optical fiber, limit bends to a radius of 6 inches (15 cm) or greater.
Failure to follow recommended procedures may lead to damage to the fiber or delivery
system and/or harm to the patient or user. When damaged, the fiber or delivery system
becomes a potential fire hazard (see
“Fire Hazards” on page 1-10 ).
WARNING! Although the AlexTriVantage Laser System is well balanced, it weighs
more than 290 pounds (almost 135 kg) and may cause injury if proper care is not used
when moving it. The system should always be moved carefully and slowly.
Caution! To prevent the laser from moving, both front wheels must be locked. The lock
wheels, step down on the tabs on the front of the wheels. To unlock, pull up on the
extending tabs.
