INTRODUCTION
This section of the manual is designed to inform the operator of basic care and
maintenance of the instrument. It is recommended to verify the calibration annually.
In the event that recalibration is required, it is also recommended that the procedure
to recalibrate the system be performed by Alcon Technical Services personnel. If
a problem occurs on the instrument, call the Alcon Technical Services department
and give details of the circumstances and effects. From these elements, a specialized
technician will evaluate the problem and determine the maintenance requirements.
WARNINGS!
Maintenance on any part of the laser system must be performed with the laser
off and the main power plug disconnected.
When keyswitch power is on, all individuals in the laser room must wear laser
protective eyewear, OD 4 or above at 532 nm.
CAUTION
There are no operator replaceable parts other than the fuse. Contact Alcon Technical
Services for all servicing issues.
Care and Cleaning
WARNING!
A qualified technician must perform a visual inspection of the following components
every twelve months:
• Warning labels (see Section One)
• Power Cord
• Fuses
In case of a deficiency, do not use the system; call Alcon Technical Services.
A qualified technician must check ground continuity and both polarities for leakage
current every twelve months to ensure they are within the applicable standards
(for example: EN60601-1/IEC601-1). Values must be recorded. If they are above the
applicable standards, or 50% above initial measurement, do not use the system;
call Alcon Technical Services.
The following tips are recommended for proper care of the
PurePoint™
Laser
system:
• Turn off the system correctly after each use with the rear panel switch.
• Cover the slit lamp with the plastic cover.
• Cover the fi ber optic connector with the dust cover.
• Cover the fi ber port with the dust cover.
• Clean the exterior portion of the equipment with a dry, lint-free cloth or tissue. No other
products can be used.
• Use care not to damage or scratch the laser apertures or fi ber optic connector.
• Place the system into its traveling case when moving to another location.
SECTION FOUR
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
4.2
8065751131
• Inspect fi bers to ensure that they have not been compromised, i.e., chips, cracks, or loose
connectors.
The condition of the following system hardware components must be checked
periodically to identify any fault that may affect system operation:
• Chassis appearance.
• Operation of controls and indicators.
• State of the fi bers and connecting cables.
Damaged hardware must be replaced to ensure safe operation. Call Alcon Technical
Services for assistance.
Mirror and Lens Cleaning
The mirrors and lenses of the LIO headpiece and Slit Lamp adaptation must be
kept clean and unscratched. Cleaning them requires special care and the following
materials:
• Standard lens cleaning paper
• Methanol of spectrographic quality.
The following tips will aid you in cleaning the optics:
• Use each piece of cleaning paper only once.
• Move the cleaning paper across the optic surface from one end to the other in one
continuous motion. Discard the cleaning paper and use a new piece for the next cleaning
pass.
• Do not use a back and forth rubbing motion on the optic surface.
CAUTION
Care and cleaning operations must be performed with the instrument turned off and
power cord disconnected. Use only optical quality paper and spectroscopic quality
methanol when cleaning the mirrors and lenses, otherwise the optics could be
scratched and their coatings destroyed.
FUSE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
NOTE: Use only the recommended fuses for the
PurePoint ™
Laser as listed on
PurePoint ™ Laser as listed on PurePoint ™
the fuse label.
1 Turn system power off and disconnect power cord
from the PurePoint ™ Laser before changing fuses.
2 Remove the fuse clip from the fuse holder using a
small screwdriver.
3 Inspect fuses in holder for damage or a burnt
connection.
4 Place new fuses in each side of holder in fuse clip
(replace with fuses rated T5A/250V or contact your
local Alcon representative).
5 Replace fuse clip into the fuse holder. Close fuse
holder.

CALIBRATION VERIFICATION
Calibration verifi cation must be performed at least every twelve months to verify that
the laser output is within tolerance and calibration is not required. It is recommended
to call Alcon Technical Services before conducting the calibration verifi cation
procedure.
CAUTION
Serious damage to the instrument may occur if these procedures are not
performed by qualifi ed personnel.
SPECIAL TOOLS
Computer, with browser software; MS Internet Explorer or equivalent
Custom service ethernet cable (Alcon p/n 023-100)
Power Meter, Thermopile type (Coherent FieldMaster w/ LM-10 head or
equivalent)
Laser Safety Goggles (OD4 or above, at 532 nm wavelength)
Optics cleaning kit, including spectroscopic grade methanol, lens paper and
air blower
Light Meter (Labsphere HLMS 200P or equivalent) - A power meter may be
used instead, using the following conversion factors:
• Ophir Nova with PD300-SH head
(use conversion factor 2.5mW=1 Lumen; divide meter reading by 2.5)
• Newport 840-C with 818SL
(use conversion factor 1.9mW=1 Lumen; divide meter reading by 1.9)
• Coherent Field Master w/LM-10 head
(use conversion factor 2.9mW=1 Lumen; divide meter reading by 2.9)
WARNING!
Laser light emitted from the fi ber and laser head is powerful enough to cause
serious eye or skin damage. Maintenance should be performed only by properly
trained personnel, following established guidelines for laser safety. The use of
protective eye wear is mandatory.
