IEC EN 60601-2-22 (norm governing the safety of therapeutic and
diagnostic laser equipment) states that: ‘The laser equipment must be
controlled by the operator to verify the laser emission at all times, using
supplementary equipment if necessary.’
For this reason Intelect HPL 7 and HPL15 features a ‘Calibration’ function.
Using this test it is possible to measure the real power emitted, allowing the
operator to check correct laser emission.
1) Remove the magnetic spacer from the handpiece
2) Check that the lens fitted in the end of the handpiece is perfectly clean; if
it is dirty, clean it
3) Insert the handpiece into the calibration socket
4) Press ‘start calibration’ to start the calibration test; the footswitch must
be pressed during the test.
5) If response is “Calibration ok” use the machine. If response is “Fault” see
section 6.2
6) Repeat this calibration every two weeks and before first use.
