INTRODUCTION
The EPIC 10 Dental Soft Tissue Laser is a surgical and therapeutic device at the
cutting edge of technology, designed for a wide variety of oral soft tissue procedures
and dental whitening, as well as for use in providing temporary relief of minor pain.
The EPIC 10 utilizes a solid state diode as a semiconductor source for invisible
infrared radiation. The energy is delivered to the treatment site via flexible fiber,
connected at one end to the laser source and the other end to the handpiece.
Various types of the single use tips were designed and optimized for different
applications. The device is activated by means of a wireless footswitch.
The EPIC 10 is a prescription device that is indicated for professional use by
dentists and hygienists (where local law allows) under the supervision of a dentist.
The use of this device requires proper clinical and technical training. This manual
provides instructions for dental professionals that have completed the appropriate
training.
When used and maintained properly, the EPIC 10 will prove a valuable addition to your
practice. Please contact Biolase Service at 1-800-321-3717 for any service needs.

5400321Rev. X: DRAFT
Classical “Feed-Through” Delivery System
The Feed-Through Delivery System with Surgical Handpiece consists of a Fiber Optic
Assembly with the following:
► Handpiece
► Base
► Handle
► Head (30°)
NOTE: The standard fiber optic cable assembly is a 400µm fiber. Other sizes are
available upon request.
WARNING: All fiber optic cables, handpieces, and heads are shipped non-sterile.
These are reusable accessories that require cleaning and sterilization
before and after each patient treatment. For instructions on cleaning
and sterilization of the fiber optic cable, handpiece, and head, refer to
Section 8. Fiber optic cable is not autoclavable unless it is labeled as
“autoclavable.”
Cleaving the Fiber
The fiber should be cleaved after each procedure.
1) Loosen the proximal end of the handpiece by unscrewing the handpiece base.
2) Pull 2-3 inches of fiber optic cable from the handpiece head through the handpiece.
3) Select a fiber stripper that corresponds to the fiber diameter size.
4) Insert approximately 1 inch of the fiber optic cable into the stripper. Squeeze the
stripper handles to get a firm purchase on the fiber optic cable, and while doing so pull
19 | P a g e
5400321Rev. X: DRAFT
the stripper away from the handpiece in a smooth motion to ensure that the jacket is
cleanly removed.
5) Use a diamond/carbide cleaver to cut the used end of the fiber. Place the fiber
against a flat surface. Position the edge of the cleaver approximately ¼ inch from the
end of the fiber, and make a scratch around half the circumference of the fiber. Make
sure that the edge of the cleaver is always perpendicular to the fiber during
scratching.
6) Hold the end of the fiber above the scratch between thumb and forefinger and pull the
end of the fiber away until the end section breaks off. If the fiber end is removed
properly by pulling in the direction perpendicular to the end surface of the fiber, the
fiber should end in a flat surface.
7) Verify the cleave quality by aiming the fiber at a flat surface and observing the shape
of the spot created by the visible aiming beam. If the visible spot is a full circle, then
the power output is optimal; if the circle is distorted, then repeat only the cleaving
procedure presented in steps 5 and 6 until you obtain a perfect circle beam.
8) After the fiber is successfully cleaved, pull the fiber back through the handpiece until
just the fiber tip protrudes from the fiber end of the handpiece head. Tighten the
handpiece base until snug. Ensure that the fiber isn’t loose by pulling tightly on the
fiber optic cable at the proximal end.

Section 6: CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Contraindications
All clinical procedures performed with EPIC 10 must be subjected to the same clinical
judgment and care as with traditional techniques. Patient risk must always be considered and
fully understood before clinical treatment. The clinician must completely understand the
patient's medical history prior to treatment. Exercise caution for general medical conditions
that might contraindicate a local procedure. Such conditions may include allergy to local or
topical anesthetics, heart disease (including pacemakers), lung disease, bleeding disorders,
sleep apnea or an immune system deficiency, or any medical conditions or medications that
may contraindicate use of certain light/laser type sources associated with this device. Medical
clearance from patient's physician is advisable when doubt exists regarding treatment.
Warnings and Precautions
Prescription Statement
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or under the order of a licensed medical or dental
practitioner.
Eyewear
Doctor, patient, assistant and all others inside the operatory must wear appropriate laser
eyewear protection for the diode laser wavelength of 940 ± 10nm.
Anesthesia
In soft tissue cases anesthesia may not be required, but patients should be closely monitored
for signs of pain or discomfort at all times. If such signs are present, adjust settings, apply
anesthesia or cease treatment if required.
Adjacent Structures
EPIC 10 is designed to remove soft tissues. Therefore, always be aware of adjacent
structures and substructures during treatments. Be extremely careful not to inadvertently
penetrate or ablate underlying or adjacent tissues. Do not direct energy towards hard tissues
such as tooth or bone. Do not direct energy towards amalgam, gold or other metallic surfaces.
Do not direct energy towards cements or other filling materials. Exercise extreme caution
when using this device in areas such as pockets, cavities or channels such as 3rd molar
sockets, where critical structures (i.e. nerves, vessels) could be damaged. Do not proceed
with using the laser if visibility is limited in these areas.
Suction
Use high-speed suction as required to maintain a clear field of vision during treatment. Do not
use the EPIC 10 if you cannot clearly see the treatment site.
Plume Removal
Special care must be taken to prevent infection from the laser plume generated by
vaporization of virally or bacterially infected tissue. Ensure that appropriate protective
equipment (including high-speed suction to remove the plume, appropriately filtered masks,
and other protective equipment) is used at all times during the laser procedure.

Using the Whitening/Contour Handpiece: Recommended Clinical Settings
The EPIC 10 diode laser, in conjunction with the Whitening/Contour Handpiece, is designed to
provide near-infrared laser energy to tissue for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature
and providing for temporary relief of pain conditions as stated in the Indications for Use.
Affected muscles and/or joints have to be exposed to an adequate level of therapeutic energy
over a short period of time to be effective. Two main therapeutic power settings are
recommended for these treatments:
► 2.75W CW: place the handpiece in contact with the skin and apply laser energy for 10
minutes continuously.
► 5.50W CW: place the handpiece approximately 2 – 3mm away from the skin surface
(non-contact). Exposure time remains the same at 10 minutes continuously.
Patients should be monitored for discomfort. If discomfort is reported at any time during the
treatment, there are several options:
a)
Decrease the power setting to 2.75W; or
b)
Defocus the energy by moving the handpiece further away from the sking; or

Daily Maintenance
Use peel-off clear covers supplied with the system. Use disinfectant to wipe down the front
panel and handpiece holder of the EPIC 10 system after each procedure. Do not use
bleach or abrasive cleansers.
Check and clean the protective window of the fiber optic shaft with cotton swab wet in
alcohol.
Contamination Control Procedures
The contamination control suggested for the EPIC 10 surgical handpiece and tips is the
steam sterilization method. However, before sterilization, the EPIC 10 reusable handpiece
should be carefully cleaned per the following procedure.
NOTE: The fiber optic cable and Handpiece are delivered from the manufacturer as
non-sterile.
NOTE: Tips are designed to withstand a single sterilization cycle and must be
disposed of after single use in a biohazard medical waste sharps container.
Cleaning Instructions for the Surgical Handpiece, the Classical (Feed-Through) Fiber
Handpiece, and the Reusable Fiber Optic Cable
The cleaning process is intended to remove blood, protein and other potential contaminants
from the surfaces and crevices of reusable accessories. This process may also reduce the
quantity of particles, microorganisms and pyrogens present. Cleaning should be performed
prior to sterilization and must be conducted only by qualified office personnel trained to
perform the procedure and handle the
EPIC 10 Fiber optic Delivery System.
Wear protective latex gloves when handling the contaminated delivery system.
To clean the fiber cable, wipe the entire cable, including the shaft, with cotton gauze and
chemical disinfectant. Keep the window intact. If the window is dirty, clean with a cotton
swab wet with alcohol.
36 | P a g e
5400321Rev. X: DRAFT
To clean the handpiece:
► Carefully remove tip from the handpiece and dispose of in a biohazard medical waste
sharps container.
► Carefully remove the handpiece from the fiber optic cable (see Section 3).
► Wipe entire handpiece outer surface with cotton gauze and chemical disinfectant.
► Soak gauze in a chemical disifectant, and then wrap the handpiece in the gauze.
► Leave the handpiece wrapped in the soaked gauze for 10 minutes.
► Remove the handpiece from the soaked gauze and wipe with dry gauze.
Steam Sterilization for Handpiece, Single Use Tips, Tip Initiation Block
Before sterilization, the handpiece must be cleaned and disassembled.
The process of thermal sterilization with saturated steam under pressure is carried out in an
autoclave. To sterilize the handpiece, tips, and tip initiation block, follow these step-by-step
instructions:
► Place the handpiece, tips, and tip initiation block in separate single wrap, self-seal
autoclave pouches.
► Remove autoclave tray and place pouch(s) on the tray.
► Place tray inside the autoclave chamber and sterilize using a clinic-validated cycle. The
recommended autoclave cycle for the EPIC 10 is:
Temperature: 250°F (121°C)
Pressure:
15 PSI (1 bar)
Time cycle:
20 minutes
► At the completion of the autoclave cycle, remove the tray and let each item sterilized cool
and dry.
Although Biolase Technology has validated the parameters for the recommended autoclave
sterilization procedure, it is the responsibility of the customer/user to properly validate his or her
autoclave sterilizer.
Cleaning the Whitening/Contour Handpiece
The Whitening Handpiece is sold together with disposable protective caps. The handpiece
and protective cap are not autoclavable.
The protective cap is intended for one-time use only and therefore cannot be cleaned
and reused.
To clean the Whitening Handpiece, wipe down the handpiece with gauze and isopropyl
alcohol.
