Thank you for purchasing the Precise
®
SHP Soft Tissue Diode Laser.
The Precise SHP Diode Laser System perfectly combines state-of-the-art diode laser technology with the
cutting-edge operating system of an iPod touch
®
. It is the first diode laser system with an iPod touch
interface to receive FDA clearance for a variety of treatment procedures. The Precise SHP is also the first
diode laser system in the industry to include sterilized tips.
The revolutionary Precise SHP enhances everyday dental procedures with real-time technical support
through FaceTime at the iPod touch of a button. The Precise SHP’s versatility extends beyond soft tissue
surgical procedures and allows the practitioner to offer laser therapy for temporary relief of muscle and
tissue pain relating to dental and oral procedures, as well as in-office, laser assisted teeth whitening.
CAO Group (CAO) has been manufacturing high technology diode lasers for more than a decade and
we are proud of our record of quality, performance and safety.
The Precise SHP uses laser energy at a wavelength of 810nm to cut or ablate soft tissue. The 810nm
wavelength is optimally absorbed by oxyhemoglobin and melanin, and to a lesser extent by water.
In addition to these actions, 810nm laser energy is found to have an advantageous effect on wound
healing, pain reduction and accelerated hemostasis. This wavelength of energy is not absorbed by bone
or hard tissue and should not be used on these materials. The laser energy is generated within the Base
Module of the system and transmits through the handpiece tubing to the handpiece tip. The laser energy
is then transmitted through the air to the patient’s tissues.
To help speed your implementation of the Precise SHP into patient treatment, CAO has developed the
Precise Quick Start online video program to enable easy setup of the Precise SHP so that it is ready to
use the day it arrives. Also included in the video is a review of the basics of using the Precise SHP so that
you can develop familiarity with the unit and its operation, as well as trying initial or basic procedures.
