Epic Hygiene User Manual
EYEWEAR
Doctor, patient, assistant, and all others inside or entering the operatory must wear appropriate laser
protective eyewear suitable for the 9 8 0 nm ± 10 nm wavelength, OD 4 or greater (DIR LB 4 ) ,
whenever the laser is in use. Prior to use, inspect the eyewear for pitting and/or cracking. Replace
if damaged; do not use.
CAUTION: The specifications for the protective eyewear provided with the Epic Hygiene
laser system are marked on the side of the glasses.
Always check the eyewear
specifications marked on the glasses to ensure they offer the required protection for
the specific laser wavelength.
For additional information, refer to the instructions for use provided with the glasses.

Contraindications, Warnings, and Precautions
ANESTHESIA
In soft-tissue cases anesthesia may not be required, but patients should be closely monitored for signs
of pain or discomfort at all times. If such signs are noted, adjust settings, apply anesthesia, or cease
treatment if required.
ADJACENT STRUCTURES
A
lways be aware of adjacent structures and substructures during use. Be extremely careful not to
inadvertently penetrate or ablate underlying or adjacent tissues. Do not direct energy toward hard-
tissue such as tooth or bone. Do not direct energy towards amalgam, gold or other metallic surfaces.
Do not direct energy towards cements or other
filling materials. Exercise extreme caution when using
this device in areas such as pockets, cavities or channels such as third molar sockets, where critical
structures (i.e. nerves, vessels) could be damaged. Do not proceed with using the laser if visibility is
limited in these areas.
SUCTION
Use high-speed suction as required to maintain a clear field of vision during treatment. Do not fire the
laser if you cannot clearly see the treatment site.
PLUME REMOVAL
CAUTION: Laser plume may contain viable tissue particulates.
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.
