INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
temperature required for cutting when using 810nm or 980nm laser. So,
when lasers are used in contact mode to make an incision or excise soft
tissue, they often need "initiation" of the laser tip end. An energy absorbing
material is used to absorb the emitted laser and is rapidly heated to several
hundred degrees. This "hot tip" is used to melt proteins thus separating the
tissue.
The "initiation" steps are as follows: Prepare a dark paper (such as
articulating paper), move the end of the fiber tip gently on the paper with the
laser power set to 0.7W CW. The tip end will retain the pigment of the paper.
Observe the aiming beam against a surface. If it is still clearly visible, repeat
more times.
Actually, the tip initiation by articulating paper or wood is not satisfied, as the
pigmentation in the tip end is quickly burned off during laser surgery,
resulting in a decrease of cutting efficiency. The operators have to initiate the
tip again and again to continue the operation.
We have developed a new pre-initiated tip with durable, peel-resistant black
coating. The specially crafted coating withstands high temperature during
laser cutting of up to hundreds of degrees, ensuring a smooth and fast
surgical treatment.
NOTE:
Protein has a strong absorption for 450nm laser, so there is no
need to initiate the tip when using this wavelength.

In case of emergency, press the red Emergency Stop button to turn off the
laser emission immediately. A beeping sound will appear, and the status
