Delivery System Connection

Caution:

Do not remove the hand piece fiber cable from the emission port once it has been secured (unless the optical fiber cable
needs to be replaced).

Repeated insertion and removal of the hand piece fiber cable will increase the chance of emission port or fiber tip
contamination. If the emission port or the fiber tip is contaminated, the optical fiber can be damaged during beam emission
causing a loss in output and potential damage to the emission port.

If the fiber must be removed, use the dust cap to help prevent dust and debris from contaminating the emission port. Do not
leave the port unprotected.

Do not bend the optical fiber too sharply: the minimum permissible bending radius is 40 mm.
Note: The laser system will be delivered with the beam delivery assembly already connected. If a replacement is needed, follow the steps
below to disconnect the old and attach the new beam delivery assembly.
Step 1. Unscrew metal fiber connector counter-clockwise until loose and gently pull fiber away from unit (Figure 11).
Step 2. After removing fiber, unplug finger switch cord by pulling plug away from unit (Figure 12).
Step 3. Remove the new assembly from the protective foam packaging.
Step 4. Secure the finger switch connector by carefully pushing it into the finger switch port (Figure 13).
Step 5. Remove the protective dust cap from the end of the new optical fiber cable.
Step 6. Open the hinged door covering the emission port and insert the fiber tip straight into the emission port. Twist the metal
connector clockwise onto the threaded emission port until tight (Figure 13).

Fiber Management

The side of the laser console has an easy-to-use Fiber Manager Spool and Hand Piece Clip that allows the user to store the beam delivery
assembly while not in use.
When therapy is discontinued or between treatment cycles, the user may rest the hand piece in the Hand Piece Clip. For long term storage
and during transport, the user may also wrap the fiber around the Fiber Manager Spool to avoid damage to the fiber.
When wrapping the hand piece fiber around the fiber manager spool, the first fiber wrap should be fed into the Fiber Slot so the plastic
Bifurcator, which couples the finger switch and fiber optic cables, snaps into the slot. Five more wraps (for a total of six) should be made
tightly around the spool to provide enough length for the hand piece to feed into the Hand Piece Clip (Figure 14).

Device Description

The laser system includes a therapeutic laser and optical delivery system that is used for the treatment of minor muscle and joint pain, muscle
spasm, pain and stiffness associated with arthritis and for promoting relaxation of the muscle tissue and for temporary increase in local blood
circulation. The optical delivery system consists of a hand piece with interchangeable treatment heads attached to a flexible optical fiber. A
custom software application allows the operator to select from built-in treatment protocols, or to adjust and set the system's optical output
power and treatment times with minimal effort. Once the operator has selected the desired treatment parameters, activation of laser emission
requires that the operator follow a sequence of predetermined steps to activate laser emission. These steps are detailed in Section 5.
