Maintenance
Clean the external surfaces of the Spectranetics CVX-300 Excimer Laser System with a soft
cloth and a mild detergent after each use.
Clean the face of the energy detector with an alcohol prep before and after each use.
The system should be stored in a secure place, protected from freezing or extremely high
temperatures, and draped with a protective cover when not in use. Never store the laser
system in areas that may be below 32 °F (0 °C) or above 140 °F (60 °C). Relative humidity
must be between 5% and 95% non‑condensing. The same conditions should be
observed when transporting the laser system.
When moving the laser system, avoid traversing large bumps or extremely rough surfaces.
The Spectranetics CVX-300 system requires regular maintenance and calibration to ensure
problem-free operation. Spectranetics recommends that preventive maintenance be
performed on the unit every three to six months. Preventive Maintenance is required
annually at a minimum. Internal maintenance must be solely performed by a Spectranetics
Certified Field Service Engineer. Internally, the CVX-300 contains no user serviceable parts.
Product safety tests in the form of current leakage and ground testing should be performed
by a Biomedical Engineer according to generally recognized technical rules.
Only cables and power cords supplied by Spectranetics should
be used on the CVX-300. Use of alternate parts may affect EMC
compliance.
Prior to use, the operator should perform the following checks on the laser system:
1) Visually inspect the system for damage of the laser covers.
2) Visually inspect the power cord to insure connections on both ends are not damaged.
3) Visually inspect the power cord jacket to insure the insulation is not damaged.
4) Visually inspect the ground connection to insure it is intact.
5) Clean the face of the energy detector with an alcohol prep.
6) Turn the CVX-300 on, warm it up, and calibrate the laser with a Reference Catheter.
If any of the above do not pass visual inspection or the Reference Catheter does not calibrate,
contact Spectranetics prior to using the laser.
