Introduction IRIDEX probes come with a universal SMA connector that allows them to be used with validated compatible laser systems. Indications for Use The EndoProbe Handpiece is indicated for use in performing ophthalmic laser treatments to deliver ® laser energy to the treatment area inside the eye. The EndoProbe is cleared for use for the particular indications of the compatible laser system to which it is attached.
Refer to your laser manual for specific eye safety filter information. The IRIDEX eye safety filter (ESF) is designed to be used with an IRIDEX laser. Always ensure that the ESF is properly connected to the laser during use.
Information is also provided on what to do if such a fire does occur. IRIDEX Corp. recommends the safety guidelines of American National Standards ANSI Z136.3-2007 as follows: • Care must be taken to protect endotracheal tubes from laser radiation. Ignition or perforation of endotracheal tubes by the laser beam could result in serious or fatal patient complications.

Connecting the Components NOTE: Use the eye safety filter appropriate for the laser in use. If you are using a two-position eye safety filter, you may need to configure your laser before installing the filter. Follow the configuration instructions in your laser manual. WARNINGS: If you are using a beam splitter on your operating microscope, you must install the fixed eye safety filter before installing the beam splitter.
