Connecting the optical fiber

4.8.1

Area of application

The SIROLaser comes with two optical fibers of varying diameter so that it
can be used for a variety of different dental procedures and indications:
Optical fiber, 200 µm (black anti-kink sleeve)
Optical fiber, 320 µm (yellow anti-kink sleeve)
Also optionally available:
Optical fiber, 400 µm (blue anti-kink sleeve)
The laser software will prompt you to select the correct optical fiber for each
indication.
SIROLaser optical fibers have a standard SMA-905 connection and can be
used only with the SIROLaser in the spectral range of 970 nm ± 15 nm.
If optical fibers from other manufacturers are used, physical properties such
as load carrying capacity and transmission behavior may vary. Sirona Dental
Systems GmbH therefore assumes no liability in such cases.
Therefore, use only Sirona optical fibers.

Initial use of an optical fiber

Initial check
Before using an optical fiber for the first time, check its best-before date.
A nonsterile optical fiber can be used maximally 4 years after its month of
manufacture. This information is printed on the product label of the
packaging.
WARNING
If the optical fiber is used after the best-before date, some of its physical
properties, e.g. its load carrying strength and transmission behavior, will
change, thus posing a hazard to the health of the patient, the dentist and the
dental assistant.
Do not use the laser probe if its packaging is damaged or the best-before
month has been exceeded.
After removing the optical fibers from their original packaging, perform a
visual check to make sure that they were not damaged during shipment.
Initial startup
CAUTION
The optical fiber and the take-up reel must be disinfected prior to initial use.
The optical fibers are supplied in nonsterile condition and wound up on the
take-up reel (see illustration below). The optical fiber can be wound onto the
take-up reel either clockwise or counterclockwise.
Remove the end of the optical fiber with the black protective cap from the
fastening of the take-up reel.
Remove the black protective cap (A) from the optical fiber.
