72 73
Do not dispose of the SKIN SMOOTHING LASER™ or accessories with
normal household waste at the end of its life. The handpiece contains
a lithium ion battery. Do not incinerate the handpiece, because the
battery could rapidly disassemble, causing injury and release toxic
and hazardous materials. Contact your local authorities to determine
the proper method of disposal of potentially bio hazardous parts
and accessories.
The SKIN SMOOTHING LASER ™ is a battery-operated device that
uses laser energy at a wavelength of 1440 nm as the mechanism
for wrinkle reduction. A lithium ion battery supplies power to a laser
diode to produce infrared laser light. A complex set of lenses is used
to shape the infrared laser light into a pattern of spots. The spots are
emitted from the laser aperture on the tip of the handpiece (applied
part) and illuminate the skin with each treatment pulse.
The control electronics provide feedback to the user through lighted
displays, sounds and usage data collection. Usage data is stored in the
memory of the handpiece. An industry standard USB 2.0 (or greater)
interface is used to access the usage data.
The power cord (AC Mains adapter) converts home AC power to low
voltage DC power used to recharge the internal, non-replaceable,
lithium ion battery in the handpiece. The power cord is Class II medical
electrical equipment and provides isolation from AC Mains voltages.
