Suction
Use high-speed suction as required to maintain a clear field of vision during treatment. Do not
use the EPIC V-Series if you cannot clearly see the treatment site.
Plume Removal
Special care must be taken to prevent infection from the laser plume generated by vaporization
of virally or bacterially infected tissue. Ensure that appropriate protective equipment (including
high-speed suction to remove the plume, appropriately filtered masks, and other protective
equipment) is used at all times during the laser procedure.
Clinical Use
Use your clinical judgment to determine all aspects of treatment including, but not limited to, the
laser treatment protocol, technique, power settings, pulse duration and interval settings, mode
of operation as well as the accessories (
e.g.
, tip type) and other procedural requirements.
Closely observe and monitor clinical effects and use your judgment to determine clinical
parameters and approach for the treatment. Make appropriate power, pulse length, and interval
adjustments to compensate for varying tissue compositions, density, and thickness. Always start
treatment at the lowest power setting for that specific indication and increase as required.
