Overview
1.1. Introduction
1.2. Scope of This
Manual
The Smart532-nm green laser system is indicated for ophthalmic
applications; ear, nose and throat applications; dentistry and dermatologic
applications. Complete and detailed lists of the system's clinical
indications appear in Appendix A of this manual – Clinical Guide.
The Smart532 laser system is shipped directly from the factory to your
site. A Lumenis-certified field engineer will initially uncrate, inspect, set
up and install the laser to ensure that it is ready for use. In addition,
Lumenis provides in-service training to ensure that your staff is
experienced with the operation and safety considerations of the laser.
Thereafter, you or the staff at your facility will perform the daily
maintenance routines associated with the laser and with any delivery
systems and/or accessories used during surgery, including inspecting and
cleaning the laser and delivery systems; sterilizing and connecting/
disconnecting the accessories. These procedures are detailed in this manual
or in the appropriate operator manuals of the delivery systems and
accessories.
Most nursing staff prefer to inspect the laser and delivery systems daily,
usually prior to scheduled cases and before patients are admitted and
prepped. Doing so will ensure adequate time to troubleshoot a problem or
seek professional service with the least disruption to patient care.
This manual is intended to provide the surgeon, private practitioner and
other personnel who operate or maintain the system with information
regarding the operating principles, controls, safety precautions, installation
and maintenance of the system. While this manual is intended to aid in the
use and care of the equipment, it does not serve as a substitute for proper
training in the clinical applications of medical laser devices.
This operator's manual incorporates the following chapters:
Chapter 1: Overview Contains a general introduction to the
system.
Chapter 2: Laser Safety and
Regulatory
Contains explanations and directions
concerning safety measures for
operating the system. This chapter also
includes regulatory information and
requirements.
