Fiber management (application cycles)
The number of application cycles of a laser fiber is mentioned on the label or in the instruction manual of the
optical fiber. The RFID system keeps record of the number of uses (correlated with the required sterilization
cycles) that the fiber undergoes.
Only the use of RFID Rocamed Fibers is allowed with the Sirius Laser System.
Caution: A disposable laser fiber cannot be used a second time after the first use!
A single-use laser fiber, even if new, in any case cannot be re-sterilized a second time!
After the use of a disposable laser fiber or at the end of the application cycles of a reprocessable laser fiber,
change the old fiber with a new one.
Check the optical fiber before operation
Caution: Before each use, check the shape of the aiming beam to verify the effective quality of the beam
pattern. This check can be done by placing the fiber perpendicularly to a surface with the aiming beam activated.
If the optical fiber connection is damaged, replace the optical fiber immediately. If optical fiber tip is dirty or
damaged, renew it by following the instructions reported inside fiber user manual.
If you want to inspect the quality of the connected fiber in a safe way (Standby mode), you could activate the
pilot laser without entering the Ready mode and evaluate its output profile. When performing this procedure,
tap on the pilot laser area on the screen and tune that by selecting the desired intensity.
Use, cleaning, disinfection, sterilization of optical fibers
Caution: Read carefully and follow optical fiber instruction manual.
Blast shield replacement
Any detection of efficiency decrease in laser emission or frequent failures of the connected optical fibers must
be followed by an immediate check of the condition of the Blast Shield.
If the blast shield window has black spots, it must be replaced with a new one.
Warning: This operation must be carried out with clean hands and extreme caution to avoid
optical damage of the device
