2.7 SINGLE-USE TIPS
The tips are single-use accessories and are provided in three core diameters:
200μm, 300μm,
and 400μm, in different lengths (see Appendix C).
CAUTION:
Tips are single-use only
to avoid cross-contamination and are designed
to withstand a single sterilization cycle; they must be disposed of after
use in a biohazard medical waste Sharps container.
To connect the tip, insert it firmly into the distal end of the Handpiece as far as it will go, then
tighten by turning clockwise (Figure 2.7). Bend the metal cannula according to the specific
procedure requirements (Figure 2.10).
NOTE:
To provide proper laser operation, do not connect tips when the Handpiece is
disconnected.
