Page 5: Introduction
Manual C-PRO 1 Introduction We are pleased to see that you have chosen our C-Pro and wish you every success in your handling and application. The mirror-based C-Pro micromanipulator made by A.R.C Laser GmbH is a high-precision optical assembly, which perfectly meets the high requirements of microscopic laser surgery. -
Page 6: Intended Use
The micromanipulator allows to couple lasers (for example, CO C-Las laser, A.R.C. Laser GmbH) to common surgical microscopes. The C-Pro is used to precisely position and focus the laser beam. The main fields of application are indications in the field of ENT and gynecology. -
Page 7: Theory And Technical Background Of A Micromanipulator
In simple terms, this means that in the case of the C-Pro, the focus point of the target beam and the effect beam lie in one plane. In the case of lens-based systems, the focus points... - Page 8 Since the A.R.C. Laser GmbH attaches great importance to surgical precision, mirrors are installed in the C-Pro instead of lenses - as is common with many other manufacturers. If the operating field is very weakly illuminated, two target beams may be seen due to the light refraction at the deflecting mirror.

Page 9: Transport And Storage
In the case there is a foam insert with recesses for any accessory required for the connection and the application of the micromanipulator (see figure 4). Note: The C-Pro and all accessories should always be stowed in the appropriate recesses in the case after use. -
Page 10: Storage Conditions
3.3 Storage Conditions Transport and storage conditions Temperature -10°C to +60°C Relative humidity 5%-85% The C-Pro should be transported and stored only in its original carrying case to avoid damage. The C-Pro should be protected against water and moisture! -
Page 11: Installation
Windows need to be covered with suitable masking or shielding to prevent laser radiation leakage. For any question or in case of any doubt, please contact your local A.R.C. Laser authorized dealer, or contact directly to A.R.C. Laser GmbH at any time. -

3. Inspect the thread of the articulated arm. It must be clean and undamaged. 4. Screw the articulated arm to the C-Pro with the thread adapter. Make sure the articulated arm is in the correct position. (see figure 7-8). The articulated arm is taken out of the holder by means of slight pressure of the two fingers, so that the connecting joint between the two legs assumes the position as shown here. -

Manual C-PRO 4.6 Orientation of the laser 4.6.1 Operating area Fig. 10: The laser must be placed in the operating theater in such a way that the articulated arm moves in the illustrated operating area. The laser must be positioned in such a way that the articulated arm is within the operating range shown in figure 10. - Page 16 After the laser has been placed in the positions described in 4.5.1 and 4.5.2, the laser and the operating microscope can be switched on. Both the micromanipulator and the laser may only be operated by trained personnel. Fig. 12: Complete installation of C-Pro on micromanipulator and C-Las...

Page 17: Safety Information And Technical Acceptance
The C-Pro is to be used only by persons who have been trained in the use of laser systems. - Page 18 Manual C-PRO Plastic objects, such as specula and goggles, might melt under the influence of the laser beam, which could lead to fire-causing chemical reactions. When the laser is used in laryngologic indications, please take care that materials used in the operation, e.g. laser tubes, endotracheal tubes, adhesive tapes, ointments and medical solutions are protected from catching fire.
