Laser Smoke
CAUTION
Laser smoke (plume) could contain viable tissue particles!
We recommend the use of a fume suction system (e. g. marVAC by KLS Martin) in case of
applications during which fumes are generated.

Proper Handling of Laser Fibers
CAUTION
Danger of bodily harm as a result of non-observance of the instructions for use!
The user instructions supplied with the laser fibers must be carefully read prior to using the
products. Please note that non-observance of the laser fiber handling recommendations can
result in fiber damage and / or patient or user injury.
CAUTION
Dangerous laser radiation!
Dangerous laser radiation may be released if laser fibers are overbent (lateral beam exit due
to fiber breakage).
Take special care with laser fibers inserted into the patient's body!
Note also that insufficiently fixed laser fibers could get displaced and slip away from the
surgical site due to internal stress, with radiation being emitted in unintended directions.
NOTICE
Laser light delivery system!
As the aiming beam (pilot laser) takes the same path through the laser light delivery system
as the working beam, it is perfectly suited for checking the delivery system for integrity.
Damage or malfunction in the laser delivery system should be suspected if no aiming spot at
all is visible at the distal end of the delivery system, if spot intensity is low or if the spot has a
diffuse, irregular shape (see section 6.4 "Checking the Laser Fiber with the Pilot Laser",
page 47).
