Introduction: The UltraPulse Laser Systems 9
Introduction: The UltraPulse Laser Systems The Lumenis UltraPulse® SurgiTouch™ and the UltraPulse Encore™ CO2 lasers are the benchmark for speed, reproducibility, and ease of treatment for a wide variety of aesthetic and surgical procedures. Each system incorporates our patented high-energy, short-pulse CO2 technology that has delivered proven results in hospitals and surgery centers for over a decade. Extensive experience with CO2 laser skin resurfacing has broadened not only the merits of the technology, but also its utility for a full range of surgical treatments. With the addition of the SurgiTouch automation system, Lumenis combines state-of-the-art scanning technology with the best in pulsed laser technology. The optional SurgiTouch+ interface offers predetermined application settings that make the UltraPulse Encore even more adaptable and easy-to-use in a variety of specialties, including aesthetics, ENT, gynecology, neurosurgery, and general surgery. Our complete line of delivery systems and accessories, including the optional UltraPulse SurgiTouch Scanner, further extends the versatility of the UltraPulse laser system. UltraPulse is now available in two models: The SurgiTouch model includes the SurgiTouch scanning system and application-specific SurgiTouch+ user interface. The Encore model is fully upgradeable to SurgiTouch to support the future needs of your practice. And, of course, both models deliver the proven benefits of UltraPulse technology. Lumenis lasers and delivery systems are precision medical instruments. They have undergone extensive testing and with proper handling are useful and reliable clinical instruments. If you have questions regarding your laser or delivery system, contact your local Lumenis representative. WARNING - Lasers generate a highly concentrated beam of light that may cause injury if improperly used. To protect the patient and the operating personnel, the entire laser and the appropriate delivery system operator manuals, including all Safety and Regulatory sections, should be carefully read and comprehended before operation.

10 General Operation
Characteristics of the Carbon Dioxide Laser Beam The carbon dioxide laser wavelength falls in the mid-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This wavelength is invisible to the human eye; therefore, a low-power, visible aiming beam that is coaxial with the invisible treatment beam is used to target tissue. Carbon dioxide laser energy is readily absorbed by water in tissue. Since soft tissue is comprised primarily of water, carbon dioxide laser energy can be used effectively for the excision, incision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation of soft tissue.
UltraPulse 0637-129-01, Revision G
Laser Preparation 11
Laser Preparation The laser is shipped directly from the factory to your site. Your local Lumenis representative initially uncrates, inspects, sets up, and installs the laser to ensure that it is ready for use. In addition, Lumenis provides in-service training to ensure that your surgical staff is experienced with the operation and safety considerations of the laser. Thereafter, you or the nursing staff at your facility will perform the daily maintenance routines associated with the laser and with any delivery systems used during surgery, including inspecting and cleaning the laser and delivery systems; sterilizing, connecting, and disconnecting the delivery systems; and performing laser beam alignment safety checks. These procedures are detailed in this manual and in your delivery system operator manuals. Most nursing staff prefer to inspect delivery systems and perform a laser beam alignment check daily, usually prior to scheduled cases and before patients are premedicated. Doing so will ensure adequate time to troubleshoot a problem or seek professional service with the least disruption to patient care. These routine surgical tasks may be performed outside of the sterile field; in this case, ensure enough time to sterilize any components, as necessary, before scheduled cases.
