INTRODUCTION
The Picasso line of soft tissue dental lasers is designed for a wide variety of oral soft tissue and teeth whitening procedures. Picasso
& Picasso Lite lasers utilize solid state diodes as a laser energy source. The energy is delivered to the operating area by means of a
delivery system consisting of a flexible fiber connecting the laser source and the handpiece. The device is activated by means of a
footswitch which may be wired or wireless (See Page 15 & 16 for details).
Picasso & Picasso Lite lasers are intended for use by dentists, hygienists and/or authorized dental professionals on oral soft tissue as
defined by the Indication for Use (See Page 12). The Picasso Laser may also be used in teeth whitening procedures. The use of these
devices requires proper clinical and technical training. This manual provides instructions for professionals that have completed the
appropriate training.
When used and maintained properly, Picasso & Picasso Lite lasers will prove to be a valuable addition to your practice. Please
contact your authorized representative or AMD LASERS

if you have any questions or require assistance.
SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DANGER: LASER RADIATION – AVOID EYE OR SKIN EXPOSURE TO DIRECT OR SCATTERED RADIATION!
WARNING: TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, AC/DC ADAPTER MUST ONLY BE CONNECTED TO A SUPPLY MAINS WITH PROTECTIVE EARTH!
The user should read and be thoroughly familiar with this manual before operating this dental diode laser. The equipment should
be routinely inspected and maintained in accordance with the instructions given in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of
controls or adjustments or performance or procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Unauthorized accessories not provided by the manufacturer may result in potential hazard.
All clinical procedures performed with Picasso & Picasso Lite must be subjected to the same clinical judgment and care as traditional
techniques. Patient risk must always be considered and fully understood before clinical treatment. The clinician must completely
understand the patient’s medical history prior to treatment. Exercise caution for general medical conditions that might contraindicate
a local procedure. Such conditions may include allergy to local or topical anesthetics, heart disease, lung disease, bleeding
disorders, sleep apnea, or an immune system deficiency. Medical clearance from a patient’s physician is advisable before treatment.
WARNING: Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD) is 2 m from the distal end of the fiber.
Note: Laser equipment not in use should be protected against unauthorized use by removal of the key from the key switch.
Note: Opening this unit or adjusting components inside the unit will void the warranty since such actions may compromise the
performance of the laser system.
Failure to comply with the stated precautions and warnings may lead to exposure to electrical shock and/or exposure to radiation
sources. Please comply with all safety instructions and warnings.
Picasso and Picasso Lite have been tested and have been found to be compliant with the latest electrical safety standard (IEC60601-1
3
rd
Edition).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these safety instructions before and during treatments:
• All operatory entrances must be marked with the appropriate danger warning sign.
• Do not operate the laser in the presence of explosive or flammable materials.
• Near infrared light (810 nm) from the laser can pass through the transparent components of the unprotected eye and is focused
on the retina at the back of the eye. This can cause permanent retinal burns and blindness. Patients and operating room personnel
should wear protective eyewear with an optical density (OD) of at least 5+ in the range of 800–820 nm during all procedures.
CAUTION: PERIODICALLY INSPECT EYEWEAR FOR PITTING AND CRACKING.
NOTE: For replacement, additional or prescription protective eyewear, please contact your authorized service representative or AMD
