5. Protection and safety regulations The device may be commissioned only after the operator has received instruction, and in accordance with requirements and safety regulations. The separate instructions for use for the laser safety glasses must be observed when using laser safety glasses.
failure to follow manufacturer’s recommendations may lead to damage to the fiber or delivery system and/or harm to the patient or laser operator Minimal risk - Biological hazards: minor risk (caused by bio-burden, bio-incompatibility, incorrect supply (substance, energy), toxicity, infection, pyrogenicity and decomposition of material) - Environmental hazards: minor risk [caused by electromagnetic interference, inadequate energy supply (excess voltage or undervoltage), limited cooling, operation outside prescribed environmental conditions,...
With due regard to the potential side-effects, the resulting residual risks in terms of hazards are deemed acceptable in due consideration of the intended application and use of the laser system and accessories. As a result, no restrictions have been specified for use of the claros nano system in accordance with its intended use.

6.2. Display test A display test is performed at each system start (power supply connected). All symbols/segments are displayed simultaneously for 3 seconds. 6.3. Display elements 1 – PIN; parameter display 2 – Program selection/application areas 3 – Pulse mode display 4 –...
6.4. Program selection and laser operation 6.4.1. Standby mode After connecting the device to the power supply with the power cord, a display test (all symbols on for 3 seconds) is performed. Next, the firmware version is indicated in the display. After this, the system changes automatically into standby mode.(ON/OFF button turns orange).
6.4.4. Laser warning mode After confirming the specific program, the device displays a flashing laser warning symbol along with a flashing laser safety glasses symbol. This serves as a reminder that suitable laser safety glasses must be worn. A warning tone sounds simultaneously. This mode lasts 2 seconds. Attention! From this point in time, activating the foot switch will result in emission of laser radiation.
6.4.6. Changing program parameters Select program whose parameters are to be changed and confirm with the OK button (laser ready mode Press program symbol button for more than 2 seconds. The program parameter setting mode is activated and the 'Pulse output' parameter begins to flash.

Introducing the application fibers The claros nano system is fitted with an innovative application system, which keeps subsequent costs as low as possible and ensures a high level of hygiene capability at the same time. Depending on the diameter of the application fibers, various soft metal tips must be attached before introducing the application fibers: Pink for 200 µm/300 µm fibers...
together in the handpiece longitudinal direction until the interlock ring can be heard to engage. The fiber can be removed after use. (To do so, ensure that the soft metal tip has been bent straight again or removed beforehand.) To remove the handpiece front part, the interlock ring must be pulled to the rear.
part 2 and twist part 3 to adjust the fiber length. Turning clockwise => increases the fiber length; Turning anticlockwise => shortens the fiber length. When you have reached the desired fiber length, lock the handpiece by twisting parts 1 and 2 clockwise.
To undo the handpiece, the interlock ring must be pulled back. 6.7. Device reset (default settings) The procedure below can be followed to reset the customer PIN to 000 and the output parameters to the default settings: In standby mode, keep the buttons (not shown) "Endodontics" and "LLLT" (first and fourth rows) pressed and activate the foot switch at the same time.
