Remote Interlock
A remote interlock connector on the back panel, when used in conjunction with an external
switch connected to the treatment room door, will shut down the system if the treatment room
door is opened.
Protective Housing
The GenesisPlus system console has a protective housing that prevents unintended human
access to laser radiation above Class I limits. The housing must be opened only by a Cutera-
certified representative.
NOTE
No section of the protective system housing can be opened without
special tools.
Laser Safety Shutter
The laser system contains a “normally closed” safety shutter that prevents laser emission when
in the closed position. The shutter is opened only when the system is in the READY mode.
Audible Emission Indicator
Each Nd:YAG laser pulse delivered is accompanied by an audible tone. In addition, the system
emits three distinct audible tones that correspond with user-selected pulse intervals of either
25/100/500 pulses or 100/1000/5000 pulses.
Manual Reset
If the system shuts down during operation (due to electrical power loss, depression of the
emergency off button or opening of the door interlock switch), the system must be manually
restarted using the keyswitch to resume operation. The system internal memory will recall the
most recent operating parameters upon restart.
Electronic Fault Detection Circuitry
If the electronic system detects a fault condition, treatment beam exposure cannot occur. The
high voltage power supply is turned off, the high voltage capacitor is discharged, the safety
shutter is closed and the footswitch is disabled.
Some fault conditions may be cleared by the operator. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide in
this manual for additional information.
