4. SAPPHIRE PORTABLE DIODE LASER FACILITY
AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
In order to insure the safe use of the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser in your facility, please check to make sure
that the proposed location is compatible with the specifications listed below.
Power requirements for the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser follows:
Input Power - 110 – 120 v AC @ 60 Hz, 3A; 220-240 v AC @ 50 Hz, 1.5A (switchable)
Output Power - 24W, +5 v DC at 6A maximum
Heating and Ventilation:
The room where the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser is used should have an appropriate cooling and heating
system so that the lasers can be operated within the optimal temperature range of 20º - 30ºC (68º - 86º F).
Avoid storing or transporting the lasers in temperatures below 0º Celsius (32º F).
Lighting:
Overhead lighting and/or dental unit light should provide enough illumination to allow proper operator
visibility of the surgical site when activating the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser intra-orally.
Combustible Chemicals and Gases:
All gases that are combustible or support combustion and are used in the operatory area where the Sapphire
Portable Diode Laser is being operated must be turned off during the procedure. Cleaning supplies or other
flammable chemical compounds should be stored in an area away from the surgical site in order to avoid possible
combustion. Do not use in the presence of supplemental therapeutic oxygen supplies for patients with respiratory
or related diseases.
Plume evacuation:
Plume evacuation should be addressed when vaporizing tissues. A high volume vacuum system should be used
and 0.1 micron or less high filtration masks that are suitable for virus and bacterial control should be worn by
Clinicians, operators and auxiliary staff in the vicinity of procedures being performed with the Sapphire Portable
Diode Laser system.
Operatory Access during Sapphire Portable Diode Laser Use:
Access to the treatment area should be restricted while the lasers are in use. A sign indicating “LASER IN USE”
should be placed in a designated area adjacent to the treatment area entry location.
