22.
Servicing and maintenance must be performed by authorised specialist personnel only. A technical safety
inspection must be performed on the laser system at least once a year to maintain safe operation of the system and
to check its performance parameters. (see Section 7.3).
23.
The device must be disconnected from the charger before cleaning/disinfecting.
24.
If the system is damaged or there are signs that the system is not working properly, operation must be
suspended immediately and the manufacturer notified, as there may be the risk that laser radiation could be emitted
at unforeseeable parts of the device. The therapeutic effect is also no longer ensured.
25.
The laser system must not be used to remove tooth hard tissue as this can lead to warming of the tooth tissue
and damage to the dental pulp.
26.
When using the surgery programs, the following rule applies: "Start with the lowest power possible and then
increase it later if necessary".
2.2
Warning notices – system hazard
If the following instructions are ignored or not followed correctly, this may result in damage to the system. It may
not be possible to continue with ongoing treatment or this may only be possible with some delay.
27.
Please ensure that the device is placed in a secure and stable position on the stand supplied.
28.
If the device is brought from a cold environment into a warm environment, please wait a sufficient amount of
time (at least 30 minutes) until the device has reached the ambient temperature before switching it on.
29.
Please stop using application fibers if there is less than 1 mm of fiber left (visual check before use).
30.
Please handle applicators with care and do not squeeze, twist or apply a heavy load on them.
31.
The flexibility of the fibers is limited. Pressing, bending, stretching or compressing the fibers too heavily can cause
them to break.
32.
Applicators must not be replaced while the device is ready for use and a program activated, as the emission
switch may be activated by accident.
33.
The battery may only be replaced by authorised elexxion AG service personnel. Replacing the battery yourself
may leave the device in a dangerous condition. Caution: risk of fire and explosion!
2.3
Warning notices – additional information
Refers to important and useful additional information. If this information is ignored, this may result in a device
malfunction such as reduced power output or complete loss of function.
34.
Do not use pointed objects to operate the membrane keypad.
35.
If the intensity of the pilot beam is visibly reduced, a reduction in power output is to be expected, which will
result in the loss of or a reduction in the therapeutic effect. elexxion AG's service centre should be contacted in this
event.
36.
The claros pico system is equipped with high-precision optics in the handpiece. Foreign bodies such as dust and
moisture can therefore result in a reduction in power output (loss of or reduction in therapeutic effect). For this
reason, a protective cap or applicator must be placed on the laser aperture when cleaning the handpiece. We also
recommend using a protective cap or applicator when the laser is not in use in order to prevent penetration of dust.
37.
The claros pico system complies with applicable electromagnetic compatibility regulations, both with regard to
background radiation interference and the emission of electromagnetic interference. However, it is strongly
recommended that no strong electromagnetic transmitters such as mobile phones, radio remote controls, etc. be
used in the vicinity of the laser system. If an electromagnetic effect / interference is suspected, the system may no
longer be operated until the cause is determined and remedied. Non-compliance may result in risks during use.
