CONTROLS, OPERATION & USE

12 - DISPOSABLE TIP OPERATION

The disposable fiber tip is relatively flexible, but can be broken if bent at an angle that is too sharp. Use the provided Bending Tool to bend the tip to the desired angle. Do not bend the tip any more than the
Bending Tool allows.
Protein debris from gingival tissue accumulates on the fiber tip during surgery, and the extreme heat that develops will deteriorate the optical efficiency. Fibers can fracture if a blackened area greater than
3-4 mm develops.
Replace the disposable, single-use fiber optic tip as necessary and for each new patient. The tips are provided in a sealed package. Each tip contains a pre-cleaved, pre-stripped piece of fiber. They are
designed for single-use only and must be discarded after use. (Figures: 8.1–8.4)
DO NOT OVERBEND TIP / DO NOT BEND WITH FINGER
DISPOSABLE TIPS
The Gemini's 5 mm single-use fiber tips are unique in that they come pre-initiated. That means there is black pigment added to the end of each fiber tip to help focus laser energy at the tip. All procedures that
require the removal or cutting of soft tissue require an initiated tip. There are some procedures that call for an un-initiated tip, such as Aphthous Ulcer treatment where no tissue is being removed.
To ensure that the tip stays initiated when wiping the tip with isopropyl alcohol before a procedure, activate and fire the laser at 1 watt of average power for 1-2 seconds prior to wiping the tip. This action will
ensure that the pre-initiation does not wipe off during the cleaning process.
When a procedure calls for an uninitiated tip, simply rub off the pigment at the end of the Fiber Tip with gauze and isopropyl alcohol. This pigment removal must occur before firing the laser.
The Gemini's 7mm single-use fiber tips come uninitiated. Laser procedures that do not remove tissue, such as decontamination or the treatment of aphthous ulcers, do not require the laser tip to be initiated.
One way to initiate the tip is to rub the tip on articulating film while firing the laser on a low power setting. (Figure: 8.5)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all soft-tissue procedures require an initiated—or darkened—tip and contact with tissue. Those procedures that do not require tissue contact will use a fiber tip that is NOT initiated,
because to be effective in non-contact mode, laser energy must flow unimpeded from the tip into the target tissues. Follow the procedure above to uninitiate a fiber tip.
5MM TIPS (PRE-INITIATED)
Surgical procedures such as Incision/Excision, Implant Recovery, Tooth Exposure, Operculectomy, Gingivoplasty, Gingivectomy, Frenectomy, and Troughing are some of the procedures recomended with a
5 mm tip. (Figure: 8.6)
7 MM TIPS (UN-INITIATED)
Decontamination and Aphthous Ulcer are some of the procedures recommended with a 7 mm tip. (Figure: 8.7)

13 - BATTERY AND BATTERY LEVEL INDICATIONS

The Gemini EVO 810+980 soft tissue laser is equipped with a powerful Lithium-Ion battery capable of delivering a full day of laser usage. Simply connect the provided power supply to the rear of the unit and
charging will start immediately.
• It is recommended to fully charge the laser unit prior to initial use after unpacking.
• The battery level indicator is located at the upper right corner of the display and shows battery percentage remaining.
Usage Time:
100% 2.0 Hours of consecutive max power of 2.0W
75% Usage Time: 1.5 Hours of consecutive max power of 2.0W
50% Usage Time: 1.0 Hour of consecutive max power of 2.0W
25% Usage Time: 30 min of consecutive max power of 2.0W
"Please connect power supply" reminder.
0% Minimum of 60 minutes of charging is required before first use

14 - POWER SUPPLY

Use only the provided 13V, 4A AC/DC power supply for charging the system battery and as an alternate laser power source. During initial setup use the AC/DC power supply for one hour to fully charge the
battery.
Plug the power supply into an AC outlet and connect to the corresponding connector on the rear of the laser Unit. Only use the power supply provided with the system.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply main with a protective earthing conductor.
ONLY USE THE 18V POWER SUPPLY WITH THE Gemini EVO 810+980 DIODE LASER. OTHER POWER SUPPLIES INCLUDING THE POWER SUPPLY FROM OTHER Gemini Laser PRODUCTS CAN CAUSE
DAMAGE TO YOUR Gemini EVO Laser UNIT.

15 - FIBER WRAPPING

A fiber wrapping system was built within the laser unit in order to provide a safe and convenient way to manage and store the optical fiber system. To store the fiber properly, always wrap in a clockwise
direction to protect and store the fiber optic cable when not in use. (See Figures: 9.1–9.4)
The fiber optic cable conducts laser energy from the laser diodes to the target tissues. These fibers are made of a thin glass silica. Note that there are potential hazards when inserting, steeply bending, or
improperly securing the fiber optic tips to the handpiece. Failure to follow these recommendations may lead to damage of the fiber or delivery system, and/or harm to the patient, staff, or laser operator.

• Standby time refers to when the unit is off and not being used.
• Usage time refers to constant use without interruption.
• To preserve battery life, the laser unit goes into "Inactivity" mode within 10 minutes of
inactivity.
• The Lithium-Ion battery has a typical lifespan of 2 years, at which time it is advised that
the battery be replaced.
