MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Laser Power Calibration: This system is calibrated by the manufacturer and
cannot be calibrated by the user. Opening the enclosure will void the warranty
on this product.
The user can measure the power of the laser to ensure the system is
operating correctly. The laser power should be checked on an annual basis. Laser power
is measured using a laser power meter capable of measuring an 810nm wavelength.
Using a meter at any other wavelength will produce inaccurate results. The power
should be measured at the tip of a clean endoscope. The tip should be about ¼” from the
meter receiver. The power reading should be +/-20% of what the system is set for.
The
power output reading at the tip of the microendoscope is calibrated to be ± 20% of
the power setting. If the laser power reading is more or less than 20% of the power
setting the laser power display will flash and Endo Optiks should be called to
schedule servicing.
NOTE: Insufficient laser power could be a result of debris on the tip of the
microendoscope. Particular care should be employed at all times to ensure that the
tip is clean and free of tissue or any other debris
. Reduced laser power could also be
caused by
degradation of the laser fiber in the microendscope and a new
microendscope should be employed
.
WARNING
LASER SERVICE is to be done ONLY by Endo Optiks service engineers.
Possession of service instructions or tools does not authorize repair or
modification of this instrument.
WARNING
As a precaution against accidental exposure to a laser output beam or its
reflection, anyone servicing the E2 Microprobe¥ should wear specially
tinted laser safety glasses.
WARNING
If this equipment is modified, appropriate inspection and testing must be conducted
to ensure continued safe use of the equipment.
