4.1 INTRODUCTION
4.1.1 Operational Overview
The VersaPulse® PowerSuite™ YAG laser system is designed for use in multi-specialty surgical applications.
Depending upon the model, the treatment laser delivers pulsed 1064 nm or 2120nm wavelength energy
(invisible) through a user attached delivery fiber in response to the depression of an attached footswitch. The
pulses continue until the footswitch is released. A diode laser provides a visible (red, 650 nm) aiming beam.
An equipment description, specifications and detailed user operating instructions are included in the
VersaPulse PowerSuite Operator Manual.
A key is required to turn the system on. At turn-on the system undergoes a series of self tests (approximately 40
seconds), then, if no malfunctions are detected during the self tests, goes to its STANDBY condition. If the self
testing process detects any malfunction, an error message or fault code will be displayed and the system will
not be enabled until the fault condition clears.
Once the unit is in STANDBY the user selects the desired operating parameters through an LCD color display.
Controls include aiming beam intensity, wavelength selection (for dual wavelength models only), pulse
energy, pulse rate, and pulse width. Selections are displayed on the LCD color display.
Aiming beam intensity can be turned off or adjusted for high, low or medium.
Pulse energy and pulse rate combine to determine the average power.
(ENERGY/PULSE)*(PULSES/SECOND) = Average Power in Watts

Pulse energy is adjustable in increments from 0.2 to 3.5 Joules. Pulse rate is adjustable in increments
from 5 to 50 Hz. The combination of pulse energy and pulse rate define an operating point. Not all
combinations of pulse energy and pulse rate are valid, and the operating points available vary with
the different VersaPulse PowerSuite models available. Consult the Operator Manual for detailed
information on the operating points for a particular model.
