Protective Housing
The excel V+ system has a protective housing that prevents unintended human access to laser radiation
above Class I limits. The housing must be opened only by a Cutera-certified representative.
Laser Safety Shutter
The laser system contains a “normally closed” safety shutter that prevents laser emission when in the
closed position. The shutter is opened only when the system is in the READY mode.
Audible Emission Indicator
Each laser pulse delivered is accompanied by an audible tone. In addition, a distinctive “water drop”
sound is emitted each time the pulse counter reaches a count that ends in “00” in order to indicate the
delivery of 100 pulse increments.
Manual Reset
If the system shuts down during operation (due to electrical power loss, depression of the emergency off
button or opening of the door interlock switch), the system must be manually restarted using the
keyswitch to resume operation. The system internal memory will recall the most recent operating
parameters upon restart.
Electronic Fault Detection Circuitry
If the electronic system detects a fault condition, treatment beam exposure cannot occur. The high
voltage power supply is turned off, the high voltage capacitor is discharged, the safety shutter is closed
and the footswitch is disabled.
Some fault conditions may be cleared by the operator. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide in this manual
for additional information.
NOTE
No section of the protective system housing can be opened without
special tools.
