1.3 General contraindications
The FOX 514 is not intended to be used for interventions of the central circulatory system
(arteriae pulmonales, aorta ascendens, arcus aortae, aorta descendens to the bifurcatio
aortae, arteriae coronariae, arteria carotis communis, arteria carotis externa, arteria carotis
interna, arteriae cerebrales, truncus brachiocephalicus, venae cordis, venae pulmonales,
vena cava superior and vena cava inferior).
Furthermore, the FOX 514 is
not intended to be used for treatments on the central nervous
system (brain, meninges and spinal cord).
A T T E N T I O N
The device may only be operated by specially trained personnel who are experts in the medical
effects and possible dangers of the device. You must have the necessary skills to use the laser
in accordance with this instruction manual.
The device not in use should be protected against unauthorized use.
1.4 Theory and Technical Set-up
The FOX 514 laser is a diode laser and emits laser radiation with the wavelength 514nm. By
doting the individual transitions as well as the individual manufacturing processes, laser
diodes at A.R.C. Laser GmbH in this wavelength are available. The laser radiation of the
diode is collimated through the optics in the „fast“ and in the „slow“ axis and consequently
transferred to a surface of approx. 2mm x 4mm.
The laser diode is operated with high current up to 20 amperes and low voltage. Since the
diode is very sensitive to any voltage fluctuations, the battery integrated into the FOX 514
laser has a buffer preventing any voltage fluctuations at the diode.
Via beam deflection mirrors and coupling elements the laser light is coupled into a silica glass
fiber. The transmission of the various wavelengths is independent from the fiber.
Transmissions ranging from 70 to 80 % of the laser power are possible.
The laser beam emitted from the diode is polarized and therefore easy to adjust.
