must be performed exactly as indicated.
WARNING!
Noncompliance with the instructions contained in this manual may result in
operator injury.
The following procedures (Initial Setup, System Connections, System Power Up, and
Operation) cover preparation for laser treatment involving Slit Lamp, Endoprobe/
Aspirating Endoprobe/Illuminated Endoprobes, or LIO usage.
Any questions pertaining to setup and checkout procedures should be directed to your
Alcon Technical Services representative.
1 INITIAL SETUP
WARNING!
To avoid potential secondary reflections, a qualified laser safety officer should
approve the room used to treat the patient.
1.1 Position the instrument for surgeon’s comfort and preference. Refer to Section
One for "Recommended Laser Room Layout."
1.2 Verify that no combustible materials are adjacent to the laser and its delivery
systems.

WARNINGS!
The Slit Lamp must be equipped with a special Alcon Slit Lamp adaptation. This
adaptation is available for many of the existing Slit Lamps. (Reference section
six for list of adaptations to be used with existing slit lamps.) If peripherals are
not correctly connected and confirmed by the operator, the operator and patient
will be exposed to hazardous radiation.
Refer to Section Six for instructions on installing the Doctor Protection Filter.
The operator may have a colored view through the Doctor Protection Filter due
to blocking of the green 532 nm wavelength light. Newer filters will have less
color blocking. It is the operator’s responsibility to properly install the Doctor
Protection Filter. Alcon shall not be held liable for problems caused by improper
installation of the Doctor Protection Filter.
If a tethered manual Doctor Protection Filter is in the “not engaged” position the
prompt on the
PurePoint™
LCD display must read “Please engage Dr. Filter.” If
not, the operator must discontinue using the system and notify Alcon Technical
Services for assistance.
When using beam splitter accessories, the ocular stereo microscope head must first
be attached to the beam splitter (the beam splitter accessories are attached to the
beam splitter on the protected side of the Doctor Protection Filter assembly); the
beam splitter is then attached to the permanently installed Doctor Protection Filter.
Improper installation could cause injury to the operator and/or the patient.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that non-RFID probes are correctly
identified.
Do not use assessories with a fiber or connector that have been compromised.
