The Picasso® line of soft tissue dental lasers is designed for a wide variety of oral soft tissue and teeth
whitening procedures. Picasso® Plus & Picasso® Lite Plus (also referred to as Picasso+ and Picasso
Lite+ herein) employ 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 wireless footswitch.
Picasso Plus and Picasso Lite Plus lasers are intended for use by dentists, hygienists and/or authorized
dental professionals on oral soft tissue as defined by the “Indications for Use.” The Picasso Plus 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 Plus and Picasso Lite Plus 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 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
PROPERLY GROUNDED POWER SOURCE!
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.
CAUTION: 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 Plus and Picasso Lite Plus 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 2m from the distal end of the fiber to avoid eye
or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation.
WARNING: To avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation, do not use the Picasso Plus
or Picasso lite Plus without the appropriate tip for the procedure being performed.
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.
WARNING: To prevent device damage, use only the power supply provided with the system or provided
by AMD Lasers.
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 Plus and Picasso Lite Plus have been tested and have been found to be compliant with the latest
electrical safety standard (IEC60601-1 3rd edition).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Use of accessories and cables other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer
of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of this equipment, resulting in improper operation.
WARNING: Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and
external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the laser, including
cables attached to the laser. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
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.
• Do not position the laser such that it is difficult to disconnect the electrical plug from the wall or
disconnect the power input connector from the back of the unit.
CAUTION: PERIODICALLY INSPECT EYEWEAR FOR PITTING AND CRACKING.
NOTE: For replacement, additional or prescription protective eyewear, please contact your authorized
service representative or AMD Lasers.
• Do not look directly into the beam or at specular reflections.
• Never direct or point the beam toward the eyes.
• Remove or cover all highly reflective items in the treatment area.
