fiber may cause accidental laser exposure or injury to the treatment
room personnel or patient, and/or fire in the treatment room.
• To avoid possible damage to the optical system, use only qualified
Lumenis delivery systems. Using other than Lumenis delivery systems
may jeopardize safe operation or damage the laser system and will
void your Lumenis warranty or service contract.
• To prevent accidental laser discharge, always turn off the laser system
before connecting the optical fiber.
• Always check the expiration date on the optical fiber packaging; do
not use a optical fiber whose expiration date has passed.
NOTE:
SIS (Secure Identification System) enabled Lumenis Pulse 50H and
Lumenis Pulse 100H laser systems will only operate with Lumenis-
qualified SIS optical fibers. Attaching any other type of fiber will disable
laser emission.
To ensure sterility of the optical fiber, the following aseptic technique
must be used when you connect the optical fiber to the laser system:
1.
Inspect the optical fiber as instructed in the appropriate optical fiber
instruction guide.
WARNING:
Never inspect the optical fiber while it is connected to the laser
system. Accidental laser exposure can cause severe eye damage.
2.
The scrub nurse hands off the laser connector to the circulating nurse.
3.
The circulating nurse removes the protective cap from the laser
connector.
