Contamination
Accessories
Danger of (cross) contamination. Pay attention not to hurt or stick
yourself or any other person with the laser fiber tip. This applies also if
the handpiece is placed in the holder.
Prior to each use, the handpiece sleeve and the optical light guide
(MultiTip) must be sterilized. The single-use fiber tips are delivered
sterile and must be used only once and disposed after use.
Tissue particles
During cutting and coagulation of tissue, tissue particles could become
aerosolized. Always wear a face mask, because a risk of infection
exists.
A extractor or a filter should be used. The operating personnel should
be aware that biologically active material could get into the environment.
It may contain particles of viable tissue.
WARNING
Single-use fiber tips (EasyTip) must not be sterilized again after
usage. They are disposable products and are not for re-use.
➢ Never reuse the single-use fiber tips as they can also damage the
handpiece optics if used more than one time.
