mpower™ Delivery System
Caution:
Do not bend the optical fiber too sharply: the minimum permissible bending
radius is 40 mm. Mishandling of the fiber may lead to damage to the fiber or delivery
system and/or harm to the patient or laser operator.
Warning:
If any part of the Empower Delivery System overheats or produces smoke,
immediately power off the Laser System, discontinue operation, and contact
Customer Care for assistance.
Warning:
The use of accessories and/or optical fiber cables not specified for use
with this Laser System may result in unsafe emissions or damage to the Laser
System.
The Empower Delivery System is composed of a double-sheathed optic fiber and a hand
piece with interchangeable treatment heads. The laser emission is controlled with a finger
switch on the hand piece. During Emission, the LED indicator will illuminate. (
The functionality of the finger switch is influenced by
the “Override” setting in
Setup. When the operator is administering a treatment with Override
Off
, the
finger switch must be held down continuously to enable emission. When Override
is
On
, the finger switch acts as an ON/OFF switch allowing the operator to press
once and release to enable continuous emission.
Warning:
The
Override On
setting for the finger switch should only be used by a
qualified laser technician.
To end emission, the operator will then press and release again, which
will return the laser to
Ready
mode. The laser system will remain in
Ready
mode until the operator resumes the treatment or selects
Standby
on the touchscreen
to return to
Standby
mode.
Warning:
DO NOT press the finger switch without first verifying
the safe orientation and proper positioning of the distal end of the
optical fiber and hand piece. Ensure compliance with all safety
precautions.
Warning:
DO NOT
operate the laser system without a treatment
head (
Figure 16
). This can cause serious injury.
