Transportation; Unpacking The Laser System - COOK Medical Rhapsody H-30 User Manual

Installation
The Rhapsody H-30 Holmium Laser System should be installed by trained personnel upon
initial receipt of the laser system from Cook Medical. Any damage that occurs during or after
transportation must be corrected prior to use.
WARNING!
trained personnel have performed the installation procedure.

Transportation

Transportation of the laser system must be performed in compliance with all local
safety laws.
The laser system must be packaged to protect it from damage, such as in the original shipping
crate. If the original shipping crate is not used for transportation, the laser system must be secured
to prevent damage. The handles can be used to tie the laser system to a secure surface. The crate
should be moved only by proper means of lifting and transporting, such as a pallet jack.
The laser system should not be subjected to excessive force, shock, or vibration. If excessive
shock or vibration is suspected to have occurred, a trained technician should inspect the laser
alignment.
If any water remains in the cooling system, the laser system must not be subjected to freezing
temperatures. Freezing water within the laser cavity can damage optical components, such as
the laser cavity, rod, or flash lamp, or mechanical components, such as the heat exchanger or
water pump. If there is a possibility of freezing temperatures, the laser's cooling system should be
drained of all water by attaching fill/drain tubes to both the air purge and water drain ports on the
rear panel of the laser system. (See Figures 2 and 3, page 1-6.)
Storage and transit temperatures must not exceed 40°C (104°F). Storage humidity should not
exceed 95%. If the laser is stored in a highly humid location, it must be allowed sufficient time to
reach equilibrium when introduced to a cool operating environment. Failure to do this may result
in damage to the optics from condensation.

Unpacking the Laser System

Your Rhapsody H-30 Holmium Laser System is shipped from the factory in a wooden crate to
protect it from damage during shipment. Before removing the laser system, inspect the crate for
damage. There are tip/tilt and shock indicators on both the outside and inside of the crate. If no
damage is evident, continue to unpack the laser system. If there is evidence of damage, save all
packing materials and notify the shipping company by filing an insurance claim report.
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 according to your facility's location.
After the Rhapsody H-30 Holmium 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.
Not all of the latches need to be released in order for you to remove the laser system from the
crate, but if you release all of the latches and unscrew the angled brackets connecting the side
panels to the pallet, you can easily disassemble the crate and lay it flat for easy storage.
