System Installation and Setup
PASCAL Synthesis Ophthalmic Scanning Laser System is designed for installation and use
in a darkened office or surgery room. Optimal system performance and viewing is achieved in
low ambient light conditions. PASCAL Synthesis system installation and testing will be
performed at your facility by Iridex Corporation-certified personnel.
PASCAL Synthesis Ophthalmic Scanning Laser System is equipped with a 3-wire Hospital
Grade AC power cord. When selecting the location for system installation, ensure that the AC
wall power outlet is correctly grounded. Follow local electrical codes to ensure proper
grounding of the AC wall power outlet. A correctly grounded power connection is required for
safe system operation.
Do not position the laser system to make it difficult to operate the disconnection device.
Select an appropriate location that can accommodate the system size and allow for easy
access by both the patient and the physician. Ensure proper ventilation, temperature and
relative humidity. Select a well-ventilated space in an office or surgery room. Refer to
Environmental Requirements (Operational) and ensure the location of installation meets
the temperature and relative humidity requirements listed. Position the system to aim the
treatment beam away from windows and doors. Post a laser safety sign at the entrance to
the treatment room.
Do not block cooling airflow or cooling vents on the laser system. Allow at least 5 cm (2 in) of
clear space around the laser system to provide adequate system cooling airflow. Use care
when routing system cables to prevent a tripping hazard and to protect the optical fiber from
damage by being crushed under foot or being rolled over by a chair. If the cord must cross a
floor where there is traffic, use of a floor cord/cable cover is recommended.
