Calibration Procedure
Regulatory agencies require that manufacturers of US FDA CDRH Class III and IV, and Euro-
pean EN 60825 Class 3 and 4 medical lasers supply their customers with power calibration
instructions.
Calibration of the laser output should be checked periodically. With proper care under normal
operating conditions, Cutera recommends calibration every twelve (12) months to ensure that
the energy output delivered from the handpiece corresponds accurately to the user-selected set-
tings. The following procedure should also be performed after any service or repair work.
Excessive vibration may necessitate more frequent calibration.
WARNING
Failure to perform the annual calibration may contribute to device
malfunction and to potential patient injury.
DISCLAIMER WARNING
Calibration is a service procedure to be performed only by a
Cutera-certified Service Engineer or customers who have taken and
passed a Cutera Service Certification Training course. Adjustments
by anyone other than a trained Cutera Service Engineer or a certi-
fied customer voids any existing manufacturer’s warranty on the
instrument. A service manual for the GenesisPlus system may be
purchased from the Cutera Service Department, however, posses-
sion of service instructions or service tooling does not authorize
repair or modification of a Cutera system by uncertified personnel.
Calibration must be performed by an engineer or technician certified to work on energized
electronic laser equipment. Questions regarding this procedure should be referred to Cutera
Service
(refer to Appendix D)
.
Equipment Required
• Laser safety eyewear for all persons in the room (with appropriate optical density for
the 1064 nm wavelength).
• Laser energy meter (Ophir Nova display unit model with L40-150A-SH sensor). The
meter used must have received a NIST-traceable calibration within the past 12 months
(in the US) or a calibration conforming to the applicable standard (internationally).
