against hazards.
Unauthorized access
In order to prevent false or improper use, the SIROLaser Xtend must
not be used by unauthorized persons. Therefore the SIROLaser Xtend
equipment must be protected against unauthorized access when not in
use. This can be achieved, for example, by switching the SIROLaser
Xtend off after usage so that the electronic access key (pin code) must
be entered before using it again.

thoroughly trained personnel.
2.4
Physical working principle
The 970 nm laser radiation of the SIROLaser Xtend is generated via a
laser diode inside the control unit and guided to the treatment region via
quartz fibers. The laser radiation is absorbed by the tissue and
converted to heat used for cutting, coagulation, germ reduction and
desensitization.

Functional check
Functional Check
The system owner is obliged to use only technically faultless products.
Please check the unit for proper functioning every time before putting it
into operation. In case of unusual noises, check both the unit and the
handpiece. If the unit has fallen down, have it checked by qualified
technical personnel.
To prevent the unit being accidently pulled from the table, the
handpiece hose should never be under tension. Please always ensure
that ca. 40 cm of the handpiece hose hangs.
If there is any doubt about the correct function of the switching power
supply or the correct electric power supply (wall outlet) the unit may only
be used with internal electric power supply (battery).
Do not use the SIROLaser Xtend if a visual inspection shows that it has
been damaged.
