EXCEL V OPERATOR MANUAL
D1025, REV H, 10/17
Treatment Information
For treatment-specific guidelines, refer to the Excel V Treatment Guidelines accompanying this manual.
These guidelines can also be obtained from your local Cutera representative or on the Cutera website.
Patient Information
Prior to treatment, the user should conduct a patient consultation. The consultation should include a
complete medical history and exam. At that time, the user should also discuss all potential benefits,
complications, options and risks of treatment.
WARNING
Extreme caution should be used when treating near the eyes, taking
care to avoid ocular damage from the treatment beam. Patient eye
protection appropriate for the treatment should be used. The
treatment beam should always be directed away from the eye and
only applied to the skin outside of the orbital rim.
WARNING
It is essential that all safety precautions as recommended in this
manual be carefully observed, especially with respect to the
wearing of protective eyewear by the patient, practitioner, and
attending staff. In addition, the development of eye-hand-foot
coordination while using the laser system’s handpiece and
footswitch is important to avoid inadvertent laser operation when the
handpiece is removed from the target tissue.
WARNING
The Excel V system is not intended for hair removal. Using the
Excel V for hair removal may result in injury to the patient.
CAUTION
It is recommended that the clinical user begin with a low fluence and
observe the tissue response before increasing the fluence.
Increasing the fluence may provide increased efficacy, however
factors such as skin type and tanning may limit the maximum usable
fluence without unwanted epidermal damage.
