4.4.2.4.2 Preparation for clinical application
1. The ActiveTip is delivered non-sterile. Make sure that the rod is clean
and sterile. The metal handpiece sleeve can be cleaned in the
autoclave (high-pressure sterilizer), see chapter "Cleaning,
disinfection and sterilization [ → 57]".
2. Please perform a visual check to make sure that the ActiveTip is not
damaged or has not reached its wear limit.
3. Put the optical connection of the ActiveTip on the optical socket of the
handpiece. Press the ActiveTip with light pressure against the
handpiece, until the ActiveTip perceptibly clicks into place and is
firmly seated.
4. Put the laser into operation. A corresponding description is provided
in chapter "Operation [ → 40]".
After treatment
Dismount the ActiveTip from the handpiece by deducting it carefully from
the optical socket of the handpiece.
For cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing the ActiveTip please refer to
chapter "Cleaning, disinfection and sterilization [ → 57]".
WARNING
Use of the laser unit when the aiming beam is not functioning properly
may cause injuries to operating personnel, assistants or patients. If you
cannot see the red aiming beam after switching the laser on or during
treatment refer to chapter "Troubleshooting of simple defects".
Only use the ActiveTip for treatments destined for it. The sterile single-
use fibers (UniTip 320µm/ EndoTip 200µm) and the light guide
(ActiveTip) have completely different optical characteristics.
Remove the protection cap of the handpiece optic for treatment only.
Never touch the proximal end of the ferrule and protect them against
damage and dirt.
Never use the laser without optical fiber, check for correct fixation.
CAUTION
As soon as you disassemble the ActiveTip after treatment make sure to
protect the optical fiber socket with the protective cap provided for this
purpose. Make sure that no dust or dirt can enter the optical system.
Otherwise the unit may be permanently damaged.
