NOTE: Use the eye safety filter appropriate for the laser in use. If you are using a two-position eye
safety filter, you may need to configure your laser before installing the filter. Follow the
configuration instructions in your laser manual.
WARNINGS:
If you are using a beam splitter on your operating microscope, you must install the fixed eye
safety filter before installing the beam splitter.
If the pouch is open or damaged, do not use the probe.
Always inspect the fiber-optic cable before connecting it to the console. A damaged
fiber-optic cable could cause accidental laser exposure or injury to you, your patient, or
others in the treatment room.
CAUTION: Gently finger-tighten the connector to the port. Do not overtighten.
Laser Spot Size
