12 General Operation
Laser console
The laser console houses the control screen, main power keyswitch,
emergency off button, control electronics, laser source and associated optics,
and power supply. The laser console is the central unit to which the laser
components and delivery devices attach.
Remote control (optional)
The optional remote control provides all of the necessary controls for setting
treatment parameters. It can be used in place of, or in addition to, the laser
console controls.
External door interlock plug
The external door interlock plug must be inserted into the external interlock
receptacle on the rear of the laser console for the laser to operate. The plug
comes pre-installed from the factory. The plug may be wired to an external
switch to disable the laser if the treatment room doors are opened during
treatment.
Footswitch
The footswitch activates the laser treatment beam when you depress it while
the laser is in ready mode. If you are using the Smart footswitch, the
footswitch engages the automatic eye safety filter when you place your foot
inside of the footswitch housing while the laser is in ready mode. If you are
using the PowerEase footswitch, you can adjust the laser power by pressing the
switches on the inside left (decrease power) and right (increase power) of the
footswitch housing.
Delivery devices
Delivery devices for a variety of applications may have been shipped with your
Novus Spectra laser. Refer to the operator manuals included with those
delivery devices for specific descriptions and operating instructions.
Compatible delivery devices include Acculite endoprobes, fibers, laser
integrated ophthalmoscopes (LIO), LaserLink Z and HS and integrated slit
lamps.
