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.
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 D).
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).
WARNING
Failure to perform the annual calibration may contribute to device
malfunction and to potential patient injury.
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 the Excel V 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.
