Calibration Procedure
Regulatory agencies require that manufacturers of US FDA CDRH Class III and IV and European EN
60825-1 Class 3 and 4 medical lasers supply their customers with power calibration instructions.
Calibration of the laser output should be checked periodically.
With proper care under normal operating
conditions, Cutera recommends calibration every twelve (12) months to ensure that the energy output
delivered from the handpiece corresponds accurately to the user-selected settings. The following
procedure should also be performed after any service or repair work. Excessive vibration may
necessitate more frequent calibration.
DISCLAIMER WARNING
Calibration is a service procedure to be performed only by a Cutera-
certified
Service Engineer or customers who have taken and passed a
Cutera Service Certification Training course. Adjustments by anyone
other than a trained Cutera Service Engineer or a certified customer
voids any existing manufacturer’s warranty on the instrument. A
service manual for your system may be purchased from the Cutera
Service Department. However, possession of service instructions or
service tooling does not authorize repair or modification of a Cutera
system by uncertified personnel.
Calibration must be performed by an engineer or technician certified
to work on energized electronic
laser equipment. Questions regarding this procedure should be referred to Cutera Service (refer to
Appendix C).
Equipment Required
• Laser safety eyewear for all persons in the room (with appropriate optical densities at the
wavelengths being generated).
• Laser energy meter (Ophir Nova display unit model with L40-150A-SH sensor).
The meter
used must have received a NIST-traceable calibration within the past 12 months (in the US)
or a calibration conforming to the applicable standard (internationally).
Calibration Instructions
1. Set up the laser energy meter in a convenient location so that the sensor head can be
easily reached with the handpiece. Set the meter display unit to the ENERGY mode.
2. Ensure that all personnel in the room are wearing the appropriate eyewear.
3. Connect the service computer to the serial port.
4. Start the system in service mode and using the Cutera Service
software, place the system
in CALIBRATION mode.
5. Follow the prompts on the calibration screen.
