WATERLASE C100 DELIVERY SYSTEM ® Handpiece The handpiece rotates and is detachable from the optical shaft. It delivers optical energy and atomized cooling spray to the treatment area. Laser Tip The tip is detachable from the handpiece and serves as the optical power conduit to the tissue target. Trunk Fiber The fiber optic cable contains the optical fiber together with the air and water tubing.
SECTION 4: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SETUP Connect Unit to Operatory 1. Verify circuit breaker is in OFF position. 2. Verify keyswitch is in OFF position. 3. Connect power cord to unit (see Figure 7). 4. Verify minimum air pressure of 80 psi (5.2 bar) and maximum of 120 psi (8.2 bar) from clean air supply.
Connecting Handpiece to Fiber Optic Cable NOTE: Refer to the Waterlase C100 Interactive CD supplied by BIOLASE. ® 1. Remove Handpiece and Tip Remover from package. Hold the Handpiece and squeeze on the two opposite release tabs to release the Rear Plug, then twist the rear plug out. (Figure 10).
Changing Tips CAUTION: The laser unit must be in “READY” mode when removing/replacing tips. Always wear laser protective glasses when replacing the tips and laser is in READY mode. Ensure that no water is present on the tip or around tip orifice during tip replacement. Slide Tip Remover laterally on the tip groove and CAREFULLY pull the tip straight out (Figure 18).

At the current position (5 mm away from targeted tissue), there will be minimal to no cutting effect. If the water spray is not flowing or no distinct popping noise is present, stop the system immediately. Refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual for instructions or call your local BIOLASE representative for assistance. NOTE: Always remember that laser power and, therefore, hydrophotonic energy are delivered from the very end of the tip.

to adjust any of the individual values for Power, Water and Air in order to compensate for varying tissue composition, density and thickness specific to individual patients. If a particular combination of customized values is especially effective and useful, you can then store these values in the system as a new Preset. Instructions for storing a new group of preset settings are provided in Section 4: Modify and Save Preferred Values as Presets.
Steam Sterilization for Handpiece and Tips The steam sterilization process is intended to destroy infectious microorganisms and pyrogens. Always perform this procedure after cleaning and before use. 1. Clean handpiece and tips as described above. 2. Verify that rear plug and tip plug are properly inserted in the handpiece. 3.
