▪ Temperature monitoring which disables System operation if the Handpiece
sapphire temperature is outside the operating range.
▪ As a safety feature and in compliance with U.S. and international regulations, the
DiolazeXL and Vasculaze Handpieces contain an electronic shutter to help
prevent inadvertent laser emission. Located in the console, the shutter is an
electronic switch that is independent of, and in addition to, the normal energy
circuit for the laser ON.
▪ Releasing the DiolazeXL and Vasculaze Handpiece’s trigger will stop laser
emission. In the event of an emergency, the laser can be shut down immediately
by pushing the emergency stop button located on the console. To restore
operation, rotate the button in the clockwise direction until it pops out again.
Then follow the standard startup sequence. Since the emergency stop switch is
not intended for routine use, please follow the procedure in the System
Operation Section for normal shutdown.
For the RF applications:
There is a skin temperature monitoring for Forma Handpiece.
2.9 Safe use of the Active Accessories
▪ Examine the connection of the Handpiece through the connectors to the System
before using. Ensure that the accessory functions as intended. Improper
connection may result in arcs and sparks, accessory malfunction, or unintended
treatment effects.
▪ Do not wrap the Handpiece cords around metal objects. It may induce current
that could lead to electrical shocks, fire or injury to the patient or personnel.
▪ Don’t direct the laser or IPL towards the window, other treatment attendants or
on patient areas that are not intended to be treated.
▪ When using the RF applicators, ensure that both electrodes are in full contact
with the skin. Bad coupling of electrodes with the skin results in a specific
warning sound, a message on the screen, and disabling of RF.
Do not connect a wet accessory to the System.
Do not immerse the applicator under water at any time.
