A Cook sales or service representative will help you with the installation of the laser
system. If you have any questions, please contact Customer Relations. After the laser
system has been unpacked, please store the shipping crate and packing materials in a
safe location in case the laser system has to be transported in the future.
The crate can easily be disassembled and laid flat to be stored more easily.

Contents

The H-30 laser system is shipped with the following components and accessories. Please
take inventory of the items listed below and contact Customer Service if any items are
missing or damaged.
• Laser system
• Two keys to key switch
• Foot switch
• Remote interlock connector
• Container of distilled water
• Plastic water bottle for filling the cooling system
• Two fill/drain/air purge tubes

Ambient Operating Conditions

The laser system should be used in a well-ventilated, air-conditioned operating room. The
procedure room temperature should be kept between 18-24°C (65-75°F) for optimum
system performance. In general, holmium lasers are very sensitive to temperature.
When the laser system reaches above 38°C (100°F), the safety circuits will prevent the
laser system from operating. The information bar on the touchscreen will read "Over
temperature." The laser system may overheat for the following reasons:
• Improper ventilation
• The ambient operating room temperature is above 24°C (74°F)
• The laser system has been running at high power for an extended period of time
(more than 30 minutes)
• The input line voltage is lower than normal, causing the cooling fans or water pump to
under-perform

Filling the Cooling System with Water

1. Connect a fill/drain tube to the laser system in the port labeled Air Purge.
2. Fill the supplied water bottle with distilled water and connect its output tube to the
water fill port on the laser system labeled Water Fill. (See figure 2.)
NOTE: Use distilled water only.
