Inserting the optical fiber in a sterilized handpiece
Loosen the proximal part of the handpiece.
Insert the optical fiber in the handpiece.
Insert the tip with the desired curvature by applying slight pressure. Bend
it straight accordingly.
CAUTION
Never use an optical fiber with a diameter of 320 µm or more in combination
with the 60° reusable tip.
CAUTION
Check whether the tip is damaged before inserting it. Replace it if necessary.
CAUTION
Please check that the tip is firmly attached prior to each use.
Trim the end of the optical fiber with the fiber cutter until it projects an exact
circle. Always make notch perpendicular to the fiber.
Check to see if the light of the aiming beam projects a uniform circular
pattern. To do this, aim the probe tip vertically at a white background
located approx. 20 cm away. If the probe projects no pattern at all or only
an uneven pattern, cut off another one to two millimeters.
Loosen the proximal end of the handpiece to which the protective sheath
is fastened.
Fasten the optical fiber so that it protrudes at least 1 cm out of the tip.
CAUTION
If the optical fiber does not protrude at least 1 cm out of the tip, there is a risk
that the tip will heat up.
