1.2 GREENLIGHT HPS FIBER OPTIC
Product Description
The GreenLight HPS fiber (catalog number 10-2090) features a “side firing”
mechanism delivering up to 120W of 532nm light to tissue. The fiber is
guided to the treatment site by the continuous flow cystoscope, consisting of
an inner and outer sheath set, 30º forward oblique telescope, and visual
obturator.
The GreenLight HPS fiber is used to cut, coagulate and vaporize tissue in
endoscopic and open surgical procedures at a 70º forward defection angle to
the fiber axis. It can rotate 360-degrees, allowing tissue access in multiple
planes; and it is used in surgical applications where lateral delivery of laser
energy is desired. GreenLight HPS fibers are sterile and designed for single
use only.

Fiber Optic Handling Guidelines
If the tip of the fiber accumulates tissue debris during a procedure, turn the
laser to STANDBY, remove the fiber from the cystoscope and carefully wipe
the tip clean with moistened sterile gauze.
The correct method of removing debris from the fiber is to gently wipe from
the tip of the fiber toward the control knob. When the procedure is
complete, dispose of the fiber using the standard hospital procedure for bio-
hazardous material. GreenLight HPS fibers are single use devices and are
not designed to be re-sterilized or re-used.
S
Caution: Improper cleaning of the fiber tip may cause damage to
the fiber.
Calibration Information
GreenLight HPS fibers are tested at the factory to insure they have the
proper transmission factor. They do not have to be calibrated by hospital
personnel.
