Before inspecting and cleaning the handpiece, ensure that the
system is either turned off or in STANDBY mode. Always wear
proper protective eyewear while the system is on. Severe eye
damage can occur in the event of unintended laser emission.
Do not allow liquid or cleaning solution to enter the handpiece
housing,
as damage may occur.
Do not attempt to sterilize the handpiece. Damage will occur if
the
handpiece is autoclaved, immersed or otherwise handled
improperly.
Inspecting and Cleaning the Handpiece Lens
The recessed handpiece lens is located at the distal end of the handpiece. Prior to treatment, as well as
periodically during treatment, inspect the lens for cracks and debris. If the handpiece lens is cracked or
otherwise damaged, do not use the handpiece. If the handpiece lens is dirty, clean as directed below.
The system must be turned OFF or in STANDBY mode prior to
inspecting
the lens. Do not inspect the lens while the system is in
READY mode. Always wear proper eyewear while the system is
ON. Severe eye damage can occur in the event of unintended laser
emission.
Inspecting and cleaning the handpiece lens is the responsibility
of
the practitioner. If the lens is not properly maintained, debris can
build up on the surface of the lens, leading to permanent damage to
the lens and, ultimately, permanent damage to the handpiece
optical system. If debris cannot be removed from the lens, the
handpiece must be replaced.
