Obligation of the user
Users are obliged to use only faultless materials, to ensure correct
application and to protect themselves, the patient and other persons
against hazards.
All persons present during use of the SiroLaser Blue must wear
protective eyewear. To protect users, the patient, and other persons
against hazards, ensure correct application of protective eyewear.
Unauthorized access
In order to prevent false or improper use, the SiroLaser Blue must not
be used by unauthorized persons. Therefore the SiroLaser Blue
equipment must be protected against unauthorized access when not in
use. This can be achieved, for example, by switching the SiroLaser Blue
off following use so that the electronic access key (pin code) must be
entered before using it again.
WARNING
The SiroLaser Blue may only be used and maintained by thoroughly
trained personnel.
2.4
Physical working principle
The 445 nm, 970 nm and 660 nm laser radiation of the SiroLaser Blue
is generated via different laser diodes inside the control unit and guided
to the treatment region via quartz fibers. The laser radiation is absorbed
by the tissue and converted to heat used for cutting, coagulation, germ
reduction and desensitization.
2.5
Functional check
Please check the unit for proper functioning every time before putting it
into operation. In case of unusual noises, check both the unit and the
handpiece. If the unit dropped or has fallen to the floor, have it checked
by qualified technical personnel.
To prevent the unit being accidentally pulled from the table, the
handpiece hose should never be under tension. Please always ensure
that approximately 40 cm of the handpiece hose hangs and is not under
tension.
