excel V+ System Components
The excel V+ consists of a system console with a boom and handpiece holster(s), handpiece(s), and a
footswitch. Other components necessary for operation, such as remote interlock plug and all electrical
cables, are also included.
System Console
The system console houses the touchscreen control panel, main power keyswitch, emergency off switch,
control electronics, laser source with associated optics, and power supply. The touchscreen control panel
allows you to select treatment settings.
Handpieces
The laser handpiece delivers laser energy from the system console to the treatment site. Three
ergonomically designed handpieces are available for use with the excel V+: CoolView, Genesis V, and
Dermastat.
The CoolView handpiece features integrated motorized zoom and epidermal cooling. The motorized
zoom feature enables you to adjust the laser spot size. The epidermal cooling feature allows you to
adjust the temperature of the sapphire cooling window to increase safety and efficacy.
The Genesis V handpiece features an integrated temperature sensor and LED temperature indicators,
which enable thermal monitoring of the target tissue. A working distance beam ensures proper
positioning of the handpiece when centered within the aiming beam.
The Dermastat is a pen-like handpiece for treating small areas with the 532 nm wavelength. An optional
standoff tip can be attached to the Dermastat to facilitate proper positioning of the handpiece at the
optimal working distance.
Footswitch
The footswitch activates the laser treatment beam.
Remote Interlock Plug
The system is equipped with a remote interlock plug which, when wired to an external door switch, shuts
down the system power if the treatment room door is opened or the interlock plug is removed.
