Caution - Laser plume may contain viable tissue particulates
When positioning the Laser for treatment always keep the Aiming beam in a good
focus so that the resultant tissue effect is clinically satisfactory.
The beam divergence of the Laser beam from the Endoprobes is higher in air than in
a fluid medium so when using the Endoprobes in air a higher power setting will be
required to get an equivalent burn as seen on the retina at a given distance.
When using the LIO always ensure that the headpiece is adjusted to be firmly fit to
the doctor’s head so that good control is always maintained over the beam
positioning. The Illumination Lamp housing can get warm but this is normal.
When using any Laser Contact Lens in treatments, it is essential that they are
effective and suitable for the procedure with the TruScan 532 Single-Wavelength
Laser. Due to the individual lens coating can affect the treatment performance
quality which may result in poor treatment.
The optical fibers that connect from the any/all Laser Delivery units to the Laser
Console must always be treated with care. Never try to bend the fibers into loops
smaller than 200mm in diameter instead just leave them loose or draped over a
suitable surface. Never allow a fiber to run along the floor or to be in walkways
where they could be stepped on or crushed with a trolley wheel. Also ensure that
the fiber ends are kept covered whenever they are not inserted in the Laser unit so
they remain clean which will extend their lifetime. Avoid touching the fiber ends as
this may leave deposits on them, which can cause damage when the laser is fired
into the fiber.
