1.4 STERILIZATION
Laserscope recommends that GreenLight HPS fibers be used in only one
surgical procedure. The GreenLight HPS fiber is a sterile, single-use,
disposable device and should not be re-used or re-sterilized. After the
completion of the procedure, dispose of the GreenLight HPS fiber following
the standard hospital protocol for bio-hazardous material. The GreenLight
HPS fiber is ethylene oxide sterilized and is not designed or certified for
multiple use.
Do not re-sterilize. Do not reuse.

WARNING: Never secure a fiber optic using a clamp as doing so
can result in an unsafe use condition. Use of a clamp can result
in the fiber optic being bent at sharp angles or fiber damage
which, in turn, can also result in an unsafe use condition. The
fiber optic can break causing a burn in the protective jacket and
the release of laser energy. If undetected, this condition can
result in a burn or ignition of flammable materials.
When using the fiber with the laser, the fiber device connector
should never be allowed to touch the floor or any wet or non-
sterile surface. If the fiber connector does come into contact
with a surface other than the laser device port, dispose of the
fiber in accordance with hospital safety regulations.
