To ensure sterility of the delivery system, the following aseptic technique
must be used when you connect the delivery system to the laser:
1.
Open the fiber port window by moving the window handle from left to
right.
Figure 11: Fiber Port
2.
Inspect the delivery system as instructed in the appropriate delivery
system instruction guide.
WARNING:
Never inspect the delivery system while it is connected to the laser. Acci-
dental laser exposure can cause severe eye damage.
3.
The scrub nurse hands off the laser connector to the circulating nurse.
4.
The circulating nurse removes the protective cap from the laser
connector.
5.
The circulating nurse secures the laser connector to the laser by
screwing the connector into the fiber receptacle on the front of the
laser.
If the laser connector is not properly seated and securely screwed into
the fiber connection port,
Fiber not connected
appears in the
notification area on the control screen.
WARNING:
When removing the protective cap, hold the laser connector, not the strain
relief or fiber optic cable. Pulling on the strain relief or fiber optic cable
may damage the delivery system and result in unintended laser exposure.
CAUTION:
Do not remove the protective cap from the laser connector in the sterile
field. Removing the protective cap in the sterile field may compromise
sterility.
