System. BEACON is a surgical laser that delivers CO energy via two modes of operation. The first is through OmniGuide’s patented, polymer-based flexible fiber, which is utilized within a specialty-specific hand piece by the surgeon. The second modality is free-beam energy delivered via an articulating arm mounted on the laser system.
Operating or handling of this medical laser, inconsistent with this manual, may void the warranty. 4.0 WARNING, CAUTION AND SYMBOLS Contraindications Do not use OmniGuide Laser System if the medical history of the patient is not compatible with laser treatment. Adverse Effects Potential complications could include: •...

IEC STD 60601-2-22 Certified to: Certified to: OMNIGUIDE INC. certifies that this product complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 OMNIGUIDE INC. certifies that this product complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 CSA STD C22.2 # 60601-1 CSA STD C22.2 # 60601-1 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No.
General Warnings No modification of this equipment by the user is allowed. Modification will void the warranty. BEACON laser system is designed to be used only with OmniGuide fibers. Do not use fibers which are not approved for BEACON 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 to OmniGuide fiber IFUs for specific instructions on how to clean fiber tips during surgical procedures.
The Laser is fDA Class IV sealed, Rf excited CO Laser capable of producing CW or pulsed laser radiation at 10.6 μm wavelength. Laser radiation can be directed either through OmniGuide flexible fiber or through an articulated arm. Preferred laser modality can be selected from the user screen.
Articulating Arm modality has to be selected by the user as the first step in operating the laser. 7.1.1 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.
Please, refer to the IFUs of the specific accessory for installation and maintenance. The OmniGuide Fiber The flexible OmniGuide fiber is a single use, sterile, disposable device which is supplied separately from the laser system. The OmniGuide fiber guides CO Laser light with a wavelength of 10.6 microns...

When a fiber is used, the gas outlet on the top of the laser should be connected with the outlet on the fiber adaptor with supplied gas hose. An OmniGuide sterile gas filter unit should be installed on the fiber adaptor and connected to the gas outlet for sterile cases.
Storage for compressed gas tanks is located under removable back panel of the laser. Gas tanks can be accessed and replaced by the user. Only gas cylinder types specified by OmniGuide can be used with The BEACON Advanced Energy Laser System: filled with compressed helium 99.9+% purity, E size.
USB connection Laser is equipped with USB port located on the front panel of the laser system. The USB port is used by OmniGuide personnel only, for diagnostics and software updates. Handle There is a handle on the front panel of the laser system to help you easily roll the system.
Spot size: fIBER: fiber outputs a diverging laser beam. Exact laser spot size depends on fiber used and distance from the tissue. Please, refer to OmniGuide Fiber instructions for use (IFU). Beam divergence of the of the laser beam coming out of the fiber is ≤ 250 mRad depending on the fiber type.
