Optical fiber assembly

4.4.2.3.1 Area of application
The SIROLaser Xtend is provided with two types of optical fibers of
different diameter so that it can be used for a variety of different dental
procedures and indications:
● Optical fiber, 200 µm
● Optical fiber, 320 µm
The optical fiber is delivered in a special transport and sterilization tube
which also assists the mounting of the optical fiber.
The optical fibers can be used only with the SIROLaser Xtend in the
spectral range of 970 nm ± 15 nm.
If optical fibers from other manufacturers are used, physical properties
such as load carrying capacity and transmission behavior may vary.
Sirona Dental Systems GmbH therefore assumes no liability in such
cases.
Therefore, use only Sirona optical fibers.
4.4.2.3.2 Initial use of an optical fiber
Initial check
Before using an optical fiber for the first time, check its best-before date.
An optical fiber can be used maximally 4 years after its month of
manufacture. This information is printed on the product label of the
packaging.
WARNING
If the optical fiber is used after the best-before date, some of its
physical properties, e.g. its load carrying capacity and transmission
behavior, may change, thus posing a hazard to the health of the
patient, the dentist and the dental assistant.
Do not use the optical fiber if its packaging is damaged or the best-
before month has been exceeded.
After taking the optical fibers out of the transport and sterilization tube,
perform a visual check to make sure that they were not damaged during
shipment.
Initial startup
The optical fibers are supplied in non-sterile condition.
WARNING
The optical fiber must be disinfected and sterilized prior to initial use.
