The Sapphire Portable Diode Laser working beam can be activated using either the handpiece ON/OFF actuator or the (optional) footswitch, but not both at the same time. If the footswitch is installed, it overrides the handpiece ON/OFF switch. Unplug the footswitch from the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser Control Module if it will not be used. -
Page 15: Emergency Deactivation Of Laser
When the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser is in READY and the ON/OFF button on the Handpiece is held down, or the footswitch is depressed and held down, the active mode icon will turn from GREEN to RED and an audible “chirp” will be heard, indicating that the laser working beam has been activated. After a 100 micro- second delay, the Handpiece will begin delivering laser working beam emissions to the target tissue by means of the disposable 400 micrometer fiberoptic delivery tip. -
Page 16: Portablility Of The Sapphire Portable Diode Laser
Portable Diode Laser: ® The Sapphire Portable Diode Laser does not need to be attached to the wall outlet to function. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery powers the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser. When fully charged, the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser can be operated for up to 40 minutes, for most procedures, before needing to be recharged. So, the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser can be taken from operatory to operatory as needed. -
Page 17: Pulsed Energy Mode
In the pulsed mode, the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser is programmed to deliver 10 pulses per second with a duty cycle of 50%. It produces 1 energy pulse with 1 period of rest with no energy between each pulse. The result is an average power per second that will be 50% of the laser’s setting. - Page 18 Handpiece receptacle and firmly press the Tip onto the Handpiece. We recommend that you set the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser to READY with the aiming beam at default (0.4 mW) after installing a new Fiber Optic Tip to evaluate the shape and the intensity of the beam to ensure the integrity of the fiber Optic system: the aiming beam spot should be round and the beam should be focused and not diffuse.

Page 19: Initiating The Fiber
Hard Tissue Procedures: The Sapphire Portable Diode Laser is not indicated for hard tissue procedures. The Sapphire Portable Diode Laser is attracted to melanin, hemoglobin and to some extent to water and oxygenated hemoglobin. Avoid prolonged exposure of the energy when working in and around the cervical areas of the tooth. Due to the thin layer of enamel in this area, energy may be absorbed by the hemoglobin in the pulp and pulpal hyperemia may occur. - Page 20 We suggest that your practice establish an internal calibration program for your laser. Recalibration is recommended at least once per year based on typical usage. Recalibration may be performed by Den-Mat Holdings, LLC by returning the unit. As an alternative, you may ®...

Page 21: Procedural Recommendations For Using The Sapphire Portable Diode Laser
Always test-fire the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser prior to using it intra-orally. Set working beam power to 1.0W CW, and place the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser in the READY mode. Activate the working beam for 1 - 2 seconds while aiming the Fiber Optic Tip onto a 2 x 2 gauze sponge moistened with water. Do not use alcohol or any other combustible material to wet the 2 x 2 sponge, as it may ignite. -
