Initial System Power On - COOK Medical H-30 User Manual

3. Direct the output of the Air Purge tube into the distilled water container used to fill
the water bottle.
4. Hold the water bottle up and compress the output valve to allow water to flow into
the laser system.
5. Once some water has started to flow into the laser system, turn the laser system on
and continue filling the cooling system.
6. Turn off the laser system and refill the water bottle whenever necessary.
7. Repeat the process until only water is forced out of the Air Purge port.
NOTE: The laser system has built-in safety circuitry to detect when there is too little
water flow. If this circuitry engages while it fills with water, the information bar will
display "Low coolant flow." Simply turn the laser system off and back on to continue.
8. Disconnect both the Water Fill and Air Purge tube and let the laser system run for a
few minutes to force any air in the system to the top.
9. Inspect the water level indicator on the rear panel. Repeat procedure until the red
float is at the top of the level indicator. (See figure 2.)
10. Store tubes and water bottle in a safe place for future use.

Initial System Power On

Review the previous sections in this chapter and verify that all site installation
requirements have been met. The laser system should only be operated in an area of
restricted access. Post a laser warning sign on each access door.
1. Connect the foot switch and remote interlock connector to the laser system. (See
figure 3.) Find the remote interlock connector supplied separately in the bag that
comes with the unit.
2. Connect the laser device to a suitable AC electrical outlet.
3. Ensure the emergency stop button isn't engaged. (See figure 1.)
4. Turn the MAINS switch on. (See figure 3.)
5. Turn the key switch on. (See figure 2).
6. Lift the laser aperture cover and connect a 550 µm holmium laser fiber to the laser.
(See figure 1.)
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the laser fiber. The connector only needs to be finger
tight for proper operation.
7. After a few seconds, the information bar on the control panel screen will display
"STANDBY." (See figure 4.)
8. Press the Ready button. (See figure 4.) The Ready progress bar will take about two
