of 15 minutes, with a dry time of 30 minutes.

handpiece must remain in the sterilization pouch until used in order to maintain sterility.

NOTE: The exterior of the laser unit is not routinely contaminated by procedures. The keypad and
electroluminescent display should be covered with a protective clear adhesive barrier film, replaceable
after each patient. If the exterior of the laser unit becomes contaminated, it should be wiped down with
CaviWipes®, or equivalent product, then re-covered with a new protective plastic cover.
DO NOT spray any disinfectant directly on the laser unit, because it could damage the transparent
electroluminescent display.
DO NOT use abrasive materials to clean the laser or the display.
NEVER point the laser tip directly at the face, eyes, or skin of anyone while emitting energy.
