WARNING
Extreme caution should be used when treating near the eyes, taking
care to avoid ocular damage from the laser. Patient eye protection
appropriate for the treatment should be used. The laser beam should
always be directed away from the eye and only applied to the skin
outside of the orbital rim.
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.
Podiatry
Treatment of Chronic Fungal Toenail Infection (Onychomycosis):
Control panel settings—200 mJ, 20 Hz, ½ s on, ½ s off
Treatment Pass #1—Horizontal Pattern
Holding the handpiece perpendicular to the infected toenail, deliver a pattern of consecutive
laser spots of ~1 to 1.5 mm in diameter horizontally (medial-lateral direction) over the entire
surface of the toenail as well as to the skin approximately 2 mm beyond the perimeter edges of
the toenail.
Treatment Pass #2—Vertical Pattern
Holding the handpiece perpendicular to the infected toenail, deliver a pattern of consecutive
laser spots of ~1 to 1.5 mm in diameter vertically (proximal-distal direction) over the entire
surface of the toenail as well as to the skin approximately 2 mm beyond the perimeter edges of
the toenail.
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.
