CAUTION: Read these instructions carefully prior to using your Gemini 810 + 980
diode laser.
CAUTION: Ensure that all users are properly trained prior to use. Consult your
distributor for training recommendations.
CAUTION: Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.
CAUTION: Always wind the fiber optic cable in a clockwise manner around the fiber
wrap to avoid fiber breakage (See Page 26).
CAUTION: Do not use in the presence of combustible or combustion-supporting gases.
CAUTION: Always test activate the device outside the mouth before using on a patient.
CAUTION: This unit has been designed and tested to meet the requirements
of electromagnetic, electrostatic, and radio frequency interference standards.
However, the possibility of electromagnetic or other interference may still
exist. Relocating the device may help to eliminate the interference.
CAUTION: Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and needs to be installed and put into service
according to the EMC information provided in pages 44-48 of this manual.
CAUTION: Periodically inspect laser eyewear for pitting and cracking.
Safety is paramount when using any energy-based surgical instrument, and your office should
implement a safety program for the Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser. If your office does not already
have a safety officer, one should be appointed to be responsible for understanding proper use, safe
operation, and maintenance of the Gemini laser system. Their duties should include training office
personnel in all aspects of system safety and management of the Gemini laser and all accessories.
