Verication of Calibration
CVX‑300 Energy Detector Circuit
The energy monitor on the CVX-300 Excimer Laser System requires verication of calibration
every six months to ensure that the laser radiation output is within specication. This
procedure may be performed more frequently if desired. Alwayswearthe appropriate laser
safety glasses when using this equipment and follow the safety precautions as outlined
within this manual.
Safety glasses specic to the CVX-300 Excimer Laser System are available for purchase from
Spectranetics by calling our Customer Service Department.
Equipment required
• Spectranetics Laser Safety Glasses
• CVX-300 Excimer Laser System
• A commercially available National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
calibrated Joule Meter and Energy Detector rated at 308nM, 120nS, 0-100mJ, and
directions for use
• Spectranetics Reference Catheter
This procedure requires that the CVX-300 Excimer Laser System is
operational and functions properly and that the operator has been
trained by Spectranetics on the proper use, safety and operation
of the CVX-300. This procedure also requires that the operator has
been trained on the use, safety and operation of the NIST calibrated
Joule Meter.
Energy Monitor Verication Procedure
1. Connect the power cord to the rear panel of the laser system. Ensure power cord is
fully seated into the power receptacle. Insert the other end of the power cord into the
appropriate receptacle with the proper output voltage.
2. Insert the key in the switch located on the control panel and rotate it clockwise to turn
the system ON ( | ). The system will energize and enter the self test mode.
3. Remove the Footswitch from the front storage compartment and connect it to the
receptacle located on the rear panel of the system.
4. Allow the laser system to complete the warm-up period.
5. Insert the Reference Catheter’s proximal end into the CVX-300 connector.
Theappropriate calibration Fluence and Rate will automatically be displayed when the
2.5mm Reference Catheter is inserted into the connector.
6. Ensure that all personnel in the room are wearing the appropriate laser safetyglasses.
7. Aim the distal end of the Reference Catheter directly at the center and one to two
inches away from the front surface of the Energy Detector on the front of theCVX-300.
8. Depress the Calibrate button on the CVX-300 display panel.
