Repeat Pulse
If the Laser is in Ready mode and the foot pedal is pressed, the Laser will switch between firing and
not firing, with each portion lasting for the amount of time displayed in the On field. This will be
repeated for as long as the foot pedal is pressed.
10.3.1.3.
On Time
This field changes the time values required for Single Pulse and Repeat Pulse discussed above. If
Continuous is chosen, this field is disabled.
10.3.1.4.
Gas Flow
User controls the flow in PSI during READY mode within the parameter space allowed by the RFID tag
on the fiber. If the user adjusts the flow during STANDBY that flow will take effect when the user goes to
READY. In STANDBY the flow will automatically be reduced to the low flow preset (set in the advanced
settings) or will remain the same as in READY if the flow at READY was set to lower than the low flow
preset.
10.3.1.5.
Power Setting
This field is where the power output of the Laser is set. The small number directly below the “Power” text
is the maximum power that is allowed at that time. The set power is displayed as the amount of blue bars
shown, as well as the large blue letters to the right of the bars. The up and down arrow control the power
output set point.
10.3.1.6.
Fiber Output
When Laser energy is fired into a fiber optic, a certain amount of that energy is lost and is not transmitted
to the patient. Each fiber will lose a different amount of energy depending on manufacturing variations.
The fiber output is the estimated amount of power output that passes through the fiber and is exposed to
the patient.
10.3.1.7.
Ready / Standby
The ready / standby button controls whether the Laser will fire when the foot pedal is pressed.
Depending on what the gas flow is set to, this button may also control whether the system is flowing the
displayed value, or a lower value while in Standby. The status bar to the left of the button displays what
state the Laser is currently in. It has three options:
•
Laser in Standby
The Laser will not fire if the foot pedal is pressed. Gas flow is set to minimal or the last value while
the Laser was in READY prior to going to STANDBY.
•
Laser in Ready
The Laser will fire if the foot pedal is pressed. Gas flow is set to the displayed value.
•
Laser is Firing
The foot pedal is currently pressed and the Laser is firing. Gas flow is set to the displayed value. The
status will change back to “Laser in Ready” once the foot pedal is not longer pressed.
