Inspecting and Cleaning
Routine care
• Do not tightly kink or bend the fiber-optic.
• When connected to the console, ensure that the fiber-optic is located
away from high traffic areas.
• Keep the fiber tip free of fingerprints.
• Do not bend the probe needle during use or storage.
• Do not strike the tip against hard surfaces.
• Keep the eye safety filter free of fingerprints.
Inspect the eye safety filter
Frequently inspect the eye safety filter for dirt, debris, and damage.
Clean the eye safety filter
To clean the eye safety filter:
1. Wrap a lens tissue around one end of a cotton-tipped swab.
2. Place several drops of 100% ethanol, 100% methanol, or high-grade
acetone on the tissue.
3. Wipe the lens gently with the swab to remove all dust and debris.
4. If the surface is still not clean, put a clean lens tissue around the end of
the swab and gently wipe it again.
CAUTION
Always handle the fiber-
optic cable with extreme
care. Do not wrap the
cable in a diameter less
than 15 cm (6 in).
Damage to the fiber can
impair light transmission
through the fiber-optic
and reduce power.
CAUTION
Turn off the console before
inspecting any delivery
device components.
CAUTION
Keep the protective cap over
the fiber-optic connector
when the delivery device is
not in use.
