System for treatment providers. CLEAR + BRILLIANT is a non-ablative laser designed for use in dermatological procedures. This device is part of the family of Solta Medical products utilizing the Fractional Photothermolysis principle. This device consists of a Console and a base handpiece (1440 nm) with the option of purchasing additional add-on handpieces.
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT Features of the CLEAR + BRILLIANT Laser System The CLEAR + BRILLIANT Laser System contains a laser source in the handpiece. The console is electrically connected to the facility power source. Laser energy produced by the unit is delivered to the tissue through the handpiece. Contact with the tissue is maintained by removable, disposable contact treatment tips which attach to the handpiece.

® CLEAR + BRILLIANT CLEAR + BRILLIANT Operating Instructions Overview This section provides a general guideline for the operation of the CLEAR + BRILLIANT Laser System. This laser system has specific operating requirements. It is the responsibility of the treatment provider to fulfill these requirements.
Page 17
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT Connecting handpiece to the console via the extension cable: Select the desired handpiece. Identify the green dots on the handpiece connector and the mating connector. Align connection ports and tighten the screws to secure connection. CAUTION: Connecting handpiece incorrectly to the extension cable may result in system failure! Identify the green dot on the other end of the extension cable and ensure it is facing upwards, if the console is upright on a flat surface.
Page 18
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT Attach the other end of the extension cable to the back of the console and tighten the screws completely into the console. It is important the connector is attached correctly. If the screws do not tighten all the way, the connector may be attached in reverse. before switching console Remove the connector and reattach, 4.2.3...
Page 19
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT Step-by-Step Operating Instructions ATTENTION! THE CONSOLE MUST BE TURNED OFF PRIOR TO CHANGING FROM ONE HANDPIECE TO THE OTHER AND THEN TURNED ON ONCE DESIRED HANDPIECE IS PROPERLY CONNECTED TO THE CONSOLE. FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL RESULT IN IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE HANDPIECE.
Page 20
If the testing is not successful, check the handpiece window for visible damage. If there is no visible damage, try again. If you see damage to the tip, please call Solta Medical Customer Service. If the system does not pass self-test after three tries, contact Solta Medical Customer Service.

Page 23
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT Once the treatment card is successfully validated and a treatment credit properly authorized, a treatment credit will be deducted from the treatment card. A treatment card with valid treatment credits is required to activate the device for treatment and is available only to authorized users of the device.
Page 24
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT 4.3.4 Connect Treatment Tip to Handpiece Once the treatment credit has been authenticated, the display will instruct the user to connect the treatment tip to the handpiece, as shown in the screen shot below. As mentioned in Section 2.5, the treatment tip contains two latches which mechanically, and magnetically, attach to the distal part of the handpiece.
Page 25
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT 4.3.5 Select Treatment Level When the treatment tip is securely in place, the screen will display the following message: The user will press the Treatment Setting Selector Button on top of the handpiece to select the treatment setting (low, medium, or high). Push the button once to select the low setting, twice to select the medium setting, and three times to select the high setting.
Page 26
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT 4.3.5.1. Parameter Selection All operators should be adequately trained in laser safety and should make informed and appropriate selection of treatment parameters. CLEAR + BRILLIANT treatment parameters range from low to high settings, as shown in the table below.
Page 27
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT 4.3.6 Activate Handpiece Once the treatment setting has been chosen, the user will press the handpiece Activator Button, located on top of the handpiece, to activate the laser as instructed on the display screen. After pushing the button, the laser is in emission state and is ready to begin treatment.
Page 28
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT When the treatment has been completed, the following message will be displayed: 4.3.8 Remove and Discard Treatment Tip When treatment is complete, remove the treatment tip by squeezing the sides of the treatment tip to unhinge from the handpiece. Discard the treatment tip according to your local regulations.
Page 29
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT 4.3.9 Turn the System OFF Upon treatment completion, the system will return to the treatment authentication stage. Additional treatments can proceed by repeating the treatment authentication process and using additional treatment credits. If another treatment will be performed immediately after the previous treatment, the above steps can be repeated, beginning with pressing the blue button on the console to use another treatment credit to authenticate the next treatment.
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT Definitions This section of the manual should familiarize the treatment provider with terminology which describes aspects of the Fractional Photothermolysis process. It is the responsibility of the treatment provider to fully understand the indications for use, safety considerations and laser function associated with CLEAR + BRILLIANT, and to make decisions regarding the specific application of the Laser System to the individual receiving treatment.
Page 31
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT The IOTS also defines a minimum and maximum velocity of the handpiece to ensure the delivery of the appropriate spot density. These velocity limits are dependent on the treatment level setting. Setting CB-HANDPIECE/ CB-HP-1927 (Perméa) CB-HP-1440 Min Hand Speed = 0.5 cm/sec Min Hand Speed = 0.7 cm/sec Max Hand Speed = 8.0 cm/sec...
Page 32
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT The IOTS allows treatment to be bidirectional. The handpiece may be stopped after one pass and the direction of motion reversed without loss of function. NOTE: It is important that the tip stay in good physical contact and approximately perpendicular to the skin for the IOTS to provide accurate information about contact and velocity.
Page 33
Pattern Preview Test It is important for the user to become familiar with the system’s visual and audible feedback indicators. For this purpose, Solta Medical provides “burn paper” with each box of CLEAR + BRILLIANT tips in order for the user to produce a pattern preview test.

® CLEAR + BRILLIANT Optical Safety 7.3.1 Review, become familiar with, and follow the local regulations for the use of lasers and laser safety. 7.3.2 A designated and laser-trained individual(s) and/or treatment provider shall be responsible for enforcing safety guidelines during operation.
Page 40
® CLEAR + BRILLIANT Laser Safety Eyewear 7.4.1 The CLEAR + BRILLIANT laser cannot fire unless the treatment tip rollers are in contact with the skin, making it safe for use without protective eyewear. Laser light is only emitted when the tip is in intimate contact with skin which precludes the emission of errant light energy.
