2. Laser power
In this example, the power output setting is 2.0 W. By pushing on the
power touch field you will be transferred to another screen where you
will be able to adjust the emitted power between 0.2 W and 3.0 W in
0.1 W increments either by typing in the numbers or by moving higher
or lower by using 'plus' or 'minus'.
WARNING
The preset power levels are considered to be safe for patients.
Increasing the power levels entails the risk of overheating the
patient's soft or hard tissue. Setting the power to excessively low
levels may result in reduced treatment efficacy.
3. Time
In our example, the output duration (time) is set to continuous (00 s). In
this mode, the laser is activated as long as the finger or wireless foot
control is pressed. By pushing on the time touch field you will be
transferred to another screen where you will be able to adjust the time
between continuous or to durations from 1 to 9999 seconds either by
typing in the numbers or by moving higher or lower by using 'plus' (+)or
'minus' (-).
4. Duty cycle
In our example, the duty cycle is set to CW (continuous wave mode).
The duty cycle is defined as the ratio between the pulse duration (the
duration that the laser beam is actually activated) and the total period of
time (which is the time from the beginning of a pulse to the beginning of
the next pulse). By pushing on the duty cycle touch field you will be
transferred to another screen where you will be able to adjust the duty
cycle between 10% and 90% by typing in the numbers or by moving
higher or lower by using 'plus' (+) or 'minus' (-).
NOTE
If the frequency is set CW, the duty cycle will not be changeable.
