Exposure of charred tissue to the laser radiation can heat and injure underlying tissue layer.
The clinician’s skin should be protected from exposure and the patient’s skin should be protected from
overexposure to Laser radiation.
The CO
2
laser is approved for soft tissue only and can cause thermal damage to bones and teeth. Protect
them from exposure to laser radiation as necessary.
4.6.
Smoke Control
Smoke from the procedure could contain biologically hazardous materials and has to be evacuated. Run
smoke evacuator for 30 seconds after lasing stops.
The clinician should wear a mask.
Refer also to the Cautions section of your Laser Manual and to Laser Labeling for additional precautions.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
In this section the specifications and characteristics of the FELS-25A system will be discussed. Characteristics
to be discussed include mechanical, thermal, electric and the laser system user interfaces. Also discussed are
environmental requirements and limitations.
5.1.
Fiber Enabled Laser
The Laser is a class IV sealed, RF excited CO
2
Laser capable of producing CW or pulsed laser radiation at
10.6 µm wavelength. The laser is operated via a foot pedal to allow laser radiation only when required.
The back and front of the Laser are shown in
Figure 5-1
and
Figure 5-2
respectively.
