For sterile procedures, the use of the OmniGuide Gas Filter Unit (cat# ACC-GFU-100) is required. There is a possibility that the OmniGuide fiber will fail to transmit light during the course of a surgical procedure. Therefore, it is recommended that you have at least two fiber assemblies available prior to starting a surgical procedure using the OmniGuide Laser System.

Always monitor patient’s blood oxygen level. Before the start of a medical procedure using the OmniGuide Adapter and fiber, verify that the gas delivered to the system is of the proper type and pressure for the fiber being used. This information can be found on the insert provided with each fiber.

The use of the OmniGuide System Build up of tissue or tissue debris on the distal-end tip of the OmniGuide fibers or handpiece can result in overheating of the device. If build-up/contamination occurs during use, clean the tip by dipping into saline solution.
Refer also to the Cautions section of your Laser Manual and to Laser Labeling for additional precautions. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In this section the specifications and characteristics of the FELS-25A system will be discussed. Characteristics to be discussed include mechanical, thermal, electric and the laser system user interfaces. Also discussed are environmental requirements and limitations.

5.1.8. OmniGuide Fiber Adapter To produce sufficient output power at the distal end of an OmniGuide fiber, the laser beam generated in the laser is delivered precisely to the input end of the fiber by means of fiber adapter with a standard ST socket for fiber connection. The adapter has a quick-disconnect gas port for the helium gas supply and incorporates an RFID antenna as shown in figure 5.3.

Laser light, because of its special properties, poses safety hazards not associated with light from other sources. The light from the FELS-25A is invisible to the naked eye. The safe use of Laser requires that all operators be properly trained and the proper use of PPE be used in the operation of this device.

Eye, skin and fire safety is a great concern when using a high-power, class IV Laser such as the FELS-25A. There is potential for secondary beams present at various angles near the incident radiation site. While weaker than the main beam, such beams may still be sufficiently intense to cause eye damage and skin burns.
(red colored rear input). 6.4. Compliance to Standards Relevant to CE-Mark The FELS-25A Laser does meet all the applicable standards of the CE-Mark. Please see section 17 for more details.
Report exactly the items missing and verify whether the Laser can be installed or the items missing will not allow you to install and operate the Laser. If you need to ship the Laser back to OmniGuide, you MUST ship it in the OmniGuide shipping container and packing material.

FACILITIES REQUIREMENT The dimensions of the Laser are given in Figure 5-7 and the dimensions of the entire FELS-25A system with a cart with gas handling capability are given in Figure 5-8. If the cart is not available with the Laser the following information is important for safe use.

9.3. Compressed Gas Requirement The OmniGuide Laser system is designed to be used with medical-grade Helium gas, delivered to the fiber at a pressure that depends on the type of fiber and the application. Please see fiber IFU for details.

_____________________________________________________________ If uncertain about any portion of this IFU, contact OmniGuide for assistance. 10.4.1. Preoperative System Preparation Visually inspect the fiber adapter and verify that there is no discernible damage, that all parts are clean and there are no loose parts or loose connections.

During the procedure, be sure to observe sterile technique. The Laser and OmniGuide Adapter are not sterile. The Adapter does not need to be sterilized, but the adapter can only be used in sterile procedures when it is accompanied by the OmniGuide Gas Filter Unit (P/N ACC-GFU-100).
12.1. Overview: It is strongly recommended the FELS-25A undergoes a yearly Preventive Maintenance (PM) performed by an OmniGuide trained professional. While the laser itself is a standard CO2 laser system, the fiber coupling, fiber mechanics, and any changes in its behavior can be easily overlooked by personnel who are not familiar with the OmniGuide Beampath technology.
It is also to be inspected for any leaks or damaged connections. 12.5. Parts: The FELS-25A laser, cart, and accessories are to be inspected for any loose, damaged, or missing parts. The following parts are to be replaced annually 12.5.1.

OmniGuide warrants that the parts are free from defects in materials and workmanship. For specific warranty terms and conditions for your FELS-25A Laser system refer to your sales contract. The FELS- 25A is warranted for parts for a period of 12 months. Warranty begins from date of shipment. Any specific terms with your distributor are part of the purchase agreement between you and your distributor.
14.2. Responsibility of the buyer Damage to the FELS-25A caused by failure of buyer’s utilities or buyer’s failure of setup or maintaining the equipment is solely the responsibility of the buyer. Damage caused by the distributor or damage caused by the buyer are specifically excluded from the warranty.
