Candela Corporation AlexTriVantage Laser System
Distance Gauge
The Distance Gauge is the only part of the Handpiece that comes in contact with the patient
(see
Figure 2-8 ). It is used to ensure proper focusing and spot placement on the treatment
area. It is used with all of the three Handpieces.
The Distance Gauge must be removed before the distal end of the Delivery System cable is
inserted into the Calibration Port.
Footswitch
The energy is delivered through the laser when the Footswitch is depressed. The amount of
energy delivered and the length and number of pulses delivered depends on the settings
selected during setup. The Footswitch is connected to the Footswitch connector on the rear
of the system.
Figure 2-10 shows the Footswitch.
