4. Inspect the lens. If necessary, clean the lens again with a new cotton swab.
The lens must be clean before treating a patient. Chips, pits, cracks
or
burned spots on the lens are not acceptable, and a handpiece
with these types of defects must be replaced.
Inspecting and Cleaning the Cooling Window
The cooling window has two optical surfaces that need to be maintained: the patient contact surface and
the proximal surface. Prior to treatment, as well as periodically during treatment, inspect both surfaces of
the cooling window for cracks and debris. If the cooling window is cracked or otherwise damaged, do not
use the handpiece. If the cooling window is dirty, clean as directed below.
The system must be turned off or in STANDBY mode prior to
inspecting the cooling window
. Do not inspect the window 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 cooling window is the responsibility
of
the practitioner. If the cooling window is not properly maintained,
debris can build up on the surface of the window, leading to
permanent damage to the window. If debris cannot be removed
from the window, the handpiece must be replaced.
1. Ensure that the system is turned OFF or is in STANDBY mode.
2. Clean the patient contact surface of the cooling window, as follows:
Prior to treatment, clean the patient contact surface with a germicidal disposable wipe,
such
as Sani-Cloth
®
Plus or Sani-Cloth
®
HB from Professional Disposables International,
Inc.
During treatment, clean the patient contact surface every 50 pulses,
or as necessary, with
4x4 gauze if gel is used. If gel is not used, clean the patient contact surface every 5
pulses, or as necessary, with a cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol or with a germicidal
disposable wipe.
The patient contact surface has no optical coating; therefore,
aggressive
scrubbing and cleaning of this surface is permitted.
