User Interface Language To change the language displayed in the user interface screens consult with Lumenis Customer Service. Footswitch The dual-pedal footswitch activates the laser treatment beam when pressed, and offers the ability to select treatment from two sets of parameters by using the left or the right foot-pedal.
50H / 100H Laser Systems Optical Fibers Optical Fibers A variety of optical fibers are available for use with the Lumenis Pulse 50H and Lumenis Pulse 100H laser systems. Lumenis fibers incorporate Security Identification System (SIS) technology. Refer to the appropriate optical fiber’s instruction guide for specific operating instructions.
The Pulse 50H or 100H holmium laser system emits a laser beam at a wavelength of 2100nm. This wavelength is strongly absorbed by water in tissue.

® Lumenis Pulse 50H / 100H Laser Systems Additional Ocular Protection Laser safety eyewear must meet the requirements as per EN207 and ANSI Z136.1. In addition to providing the required laser safety eyewear, take the following steps to secure the treatment room, or the controlled area: 1.
• Never open the laser system console protective covers. Opening the covers will expose the user to high voltage components, the laser resonator, and possible laser radiation. Only Lumenis-certified service technicians are qualified to work inside the console. • Do not operate the laser system if any of the cords are faulty or frayed.
® Lumenis Pulse 50H / 100H Laser Systems Protecting Non-Target Tissues Protecting Non-Target Tissues WARNING: • When using an optical fiber, always inspect it to ensure that it has not been kinked, punctured, fractured, or otherwise damaged. The optical fiber may be damaged if stepped on, pulled, left lying in a vulnerable position, kinked, or tightly coiled.
® Lumenis Pulse 50H / 100H Laser Systems Laser Emission Indicators Laser Emission Indicators • An audible signal is emitted during lasing. A different audible sound is used for the left and right pedals. • When lasing, a lasing emission indicator appears on the screen.
