The use of the OmniGuide System
Build up of tissue or tissue debris on the distal-end tip of the OmniGuide fibers or handpiece can result in
overheating of the device. If build-up/contamination occurs during use, clean the tip by dipping into
saline solution. Refer to OmniGuide fiber IFUs for specific instructions on how to clean fiber tips during
surgical procedures. Replace the fiber if performance does not improve.
The OmniGuide fiber is a single use device. Reuse of fiber voids all warranties of sterility and is
prohibited.
Do not bend the OmniGuide fiber to a radius less than the minimum radius and maximum angle
specified for the fiber (typically 3cm, 30 degree). Bending the fiber below this limit may cause fiber
failure. Refer to fiber IFUs for more instructions on fiber usage.
To assure the proper functioning of the device, FELS-25A must be serviced be performed by an
OmniGuide authorized representative.
After a surgical procedure, visibly inspect the integrity of the OmniGuide Fiber. In particular, verify that
no portion of the fiber is missing or detached.
Excessive bending of OmniGuide fiber will lower its output power. Please consult fiber IFUs for the
minimum allowable bending radius and angle of the fiber. Do not kink or pinch the Fiber.
The OmniGuide System is not compatible with optical accessories such as scanners.
4.2. Reflected energy protection
Avoid reflective metals near the laser beam.
Clinician and patient must use appropriate eye and skin protection.
4.3. Fire Protection
Drape the surgical field with materials designed for use with Lasers. The surgical drape must be flame
retardant.
Keep combustible materials away from the area of Laser use.
Take appropriate measures to prevent the possibility of a fire associated with anesthesia such as use of a
laser safe tracheotomy tube at the 10.6 micron wavelength, and maintaining oxygen levels at 30% or less
of the anesthetic mixture while firing.
4.4. Eye protection
Everyone in the Laser area must wear eye protection appropriate for CO2 Lasers.
Use special precautions when working around eyes.
Do not look directly at the Laser beam, even when wearing eye protection.
4.5. Tissue protection
Start with low power and increase power gradually to achieve desired effect.
Use the shortest exposure time for the desired result.
