Section 3 Saturn 5 Laser Systems Safety Warnings Research Instruments Ltd ™ WARNING Before performing any procedure, the pilot laser must be used to check the alignment of the Active positioning system. The system must be re-aligned when necessary. See Section 8 How to Check Laser Target Alignment. WARNING Thermal lensing is a defocusing of the laser beam caused by changes to the refractive index of the medium as it is heated.
Section 3 Research Instruments Ltd Saturn 5 Laser Systems Safety Warnings ™ Precautions • To minimise the risk of damage to blastomeres, administer as few laser pulses as possible at the lowest energy levels possible to achieve the prescribed zona drilling or thinning effect. •...

Section 5 RI Viewer™ Research Instruments Ltd SECTION 5 - RI VIEWER Introduction RI Viewer is the software that interacts with the Saturn 5 Laser System for use within an ART laboratory. Connected to a camera attached to a microscope, it provides on screen images of samples under the microscope.
Section 5 RI Viewer ™ Research Instruments Ltd How to View Live Images A camera will need to be connected to the PC running RI Viewer and the drivers installed correctly to view live images within RI Viewer. The dongle must also be fitted to a USB port. RI Viewer software will automatically recognise both analogue and compatible digital camera devices connected to the PC.
Section 5 RI Viewer™ Research Instruments Ltd Camera Flipping 1. Click the General Settings Icon on the tool bar. 2. Tick Flip Video Horizontal (for camera devices that support these options). 3. Tick Flip Video Vertical (for camera devices that support these options). Camera flipping is for those microscope set ups where the camera may be required to be inverted.

Section 6 Saturn Laser Systems Intended Uses Research Instruments Ltd ™ SECTION 6 - SATURN 5 LASER SYSTEM INTENDED USES Laser Assisted Hatching The aim of Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH) is to locally weaken the zona pellucida. The specimen is viewed along the optical axis and the laser creates a trench in the zona pellucida which extends above and below the apparent hole.
Section 6 Saturn Laser Systems Intended Uses Research Instruments Ltd ™ A hole should be made around two thirds the size of the cell to be taken (see published papers for exact dimensions) and care should be taken to drill the zona pellucida where there are no cells close by. Again, smaller holes will give less heat radiation, so as a guideline we recommend individual hole sizes of between 5-10µm in diameter.
Section 7 Laser Ablation Procedure Research Instruments Ltd SECTION 7 - LASER ABLATION PROCEDURE 1. Select the red laser objective on the microscope and check the objective calibration settings. WARNING - The embryo may be damaged if objectives other than the red Saturn 5 Laser System objective is used.
Section 7 Laser Ablation Procedure Research Instruments Ltd Hole Size Selection For safe and effective treatment, we recommend that pulses used are in the range 15 to 1000µs. Pulses that are very short may be ineffective and pulses that are too long may damage the embryo. For this reason, a warning will appear on the Fire button when pulse width is 15µs or below and when the pulse width is greater or equal to 1000µs.
Page 32
Section 7 Laser Ablation Procedure Research Instruments Ltd Using a Saturn 5 Fixed Laser System, move the specimen into the field of view. Select a short pulse length using the RI Viewer controls. The different settings do not vary the power of the laser; they control the length of time that the laser is fired.
Section 8 Saturn 5™ Laser Operation Research Instruments Ltd SECTION 8 - LASER OPERATION How to Start Up There is no power button for the Saturn 5. Once the device has been plugged into the power outlet and the power outlet is switched on then the device is active and can be used. 1.
Section 8 Saturn 5™ Laser Operation Research Instruments Ltd How to Check Hole Size Calibration The laser objective must be calibrated correctly for the Hole Size Indicator to work correctly. The actual size of hole a laser produces may vary depending on the type of Petri dish and media, the characteristics of the embryo and other factors.
Section 8 Saturn 5™ Laser Operation Research Instruments Ltd Laser Target RI Viewer displays a laser target on the image. This indicates where the laser beam is focused, and thus where the hole will appear. Note: To use the laser system, the specimen must be viewed with the red laser objective. The target will only be shown when the system is in laser mode.
Section 8 Saturn 5™ Laser Operation Research Instruments Ltd How to Fire the Laser (Single Pulse) Find the sample under the microscope using an objective with wide field of view (eg 4x objective). 1. Hold the sample with a holding pipette at the bottom of the dish. 2.
Section 8 Saturn 5™ Laser Operation Research Instruments Ltd How to Fire the Laser (Biopsy Mode) 1. Switch to the laser objective. 2. Focus on the sample. 3. Click the Laser Control Icon on the tool bar. 4. Check the sample is just on the bottom of the dish. 5.

Section 10 Care and Maintenance Research Instruments Ltd SECTION 10 - CARE AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning We recommend that a non PVC dust cover is placed over the microscope when not in use. Plasticisers commonly used in PVC are toxic to embryos. The control unit case should be cleaned with a cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol only.
