Section 3
Saturn™ Laser Systems Safety Precautions
SATURN™ LASER SYSTEMS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Safety This indicates cautionary text which should be followed to avoid injury to users or damage to samples Laser radiation is present within the control unit, the fibre optic patch lead and through the microscope to output at the objective. The Saturn™ laser system has been designed to ensure that emission of laser radiation at any point is within the limits stipulated by international safety standards, IEC60825-1:2008, and US 21CFR1040.10 for unprotected viewing (Class 1). As an extra precaution, an infrared blocking filter has been incorporated into the optical path leading to the eyepieces to reduce laser emission by a further 99%.
3
CAUTION hazardous radiation exposure may occur through the use of controls, executing adjustments or the performance of procedures other than those specified herein. Servicing and adjustment other than that specified in this manual should only be carried out by RI or RI authorised agents. DO NOT disassemble or modify any part of the Saturn™ Laser system, or substitute any component for any other. Doing so may result in exposure to dangerous levels of laser radiation. This voids the warranty and/or service contract. DO NOT use a magnifying glass or eye loupe above the objective lens. DO NOT operate the laser unless it is properly mounted to a microscope. ONLY use the power cable and power supply adaptor supplied with the system. The cable to the power supply is the Disconnect Device for this equipment. To remove all electrical power from this product, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet. Equipment should be positioned so as to allow easy access to the power cable. The appliance coupler or mains plug is used as the disconnect and must remain readily operable. WARNING To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with protective earth.
WARNING Not to be used in a patient environment
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 6 - How to Check Laser Target Alignment.

Section 3
Research Instruments Ltd
WARNING Thermal lensing is a defocusing of the laser beam caused by changes to the refractive index of the medium as it is heated. The degree of defocus depends on the total beam energy deposited in the medium. While slight defocus has no effect on the drilling properties, this effect may become a problem for higher beam energies. To eliminate any significant effects from thermal lensing, we recommend that the pulse length be kept below 1000μs for clinical Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH) zona drilling. WARNING Only a single opening should be made in the zona pellucida. Multiple openings or those that are too small may prevent embryo hatching or lead to abnormal development.
3
WARNING Do not operate the pilot laser with an embryo in the field of view. Exposure to the pilot laser may damage the embryo. WARNING The microscope itself must be maintained to a high standard. Problems such as worn focus mechanisms or an insecure video camera may lead to unreliable focus and image stability, and could lead to embryo damage. WARNING Do not operate the laser without the RI Viewer™ software running, as targeting and hole size indication will not be active, and the embryo may be damaged. WARNING The embryo may be damaged if objectives other than the red Saturn™ laser objective is used.
WARNING Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer. WARNING Where an ITO glass heated stage is fitted, do not fire the laser with the microscope focussed into the ITO glass surface as this may damage the ITO coating.
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.
•
Direct the laser beam toward a section of the zona pellucida where the adjacent perivitelline space is widest or next to an area of fragmentation.
•
A holding pipette should be used during laser treatment to minimize the risk of embryo movement.
•
Small openings in the zona pellucida may lead to embryo constriction and abnormal development.
•
To date there are no known reports showing a greater occurrence rate of major or minor defects in children derived from laser-hatched embryos. Long-term follow-up data on children born from laser-hatched embryos does not yet exist. A study of 134 such babies* found no increase in the major congenital malformations, chromosomal aberrations or minor congenital malformations between the LAH treated group and all deliveries at their hospital.
•
The device is not affected by and does not present any reciprocal interference to the microscope.
•
During normal use there is no contact with patient/sample. Standard lab cleaning procedures can be applied. *Kanyo, K., Konc, J. “A follow-up study of children born after diode laser assisted hatching.” European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. 110: 176-180 (2003).

Research Instruments Ltd
RI VIEWER™ Introduction RI Viewer™ is the software that interacts with the Saturn™ and RI IMSI™ range of products from Research Instruments for use within an ART laboratory. Connected to a camera attached to a microscope, it provides on screen images of samples under the microscope. It can record video and store still images from the microscope in a PC’s file system. Supplied PC’s are IEC 60950-1 approved. The operator should be positioned in such a place to easily access the microscope and also view the image on the PC monitor.
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. If there is only one camera device detected, it will show the live image for that device. If multiple camera devices are connected it will use the camera that was last selected from the Video Source drop down box.
5
If there are multiple cameras attached to the PC, you may select the device you want the live image to be viewed from. To do this select the camera from the dropdown list on the Settings panel. See Section 11 - How to Select Cameras.
How to Zoom & Pan the Image There are three ways to zoom into an area on the screen. 1. Place the mouse at a point on the screen and click and hold the right mouse button then release. This will zoom into the spot where the mouse is placed. To zoom out, click and hold the right mouse button. 2. Place the mouse at a point on the screen and use the scroll wheel on the mouse (if available).This will give the user control over how much digital zoom is given. 3. Using the tool bar at the bottom of the screen, click the + icon to zoom in incrementally. To zoom out by the same amount, click on the - icon on the tool bar. The magnifying glass icon will zoom in and out by the preset zoom. Whilst using digital zoom, a thumbnail image of the screen will appear in the top left of the screen. At the top of this panel is the amount of magnification you are using. See Section 11 - How to Set the Preset Zoom. When zoomed out fully, this panel will not appear on the screen. Zooming in and zooming out can also be achieved using the foot pedal. See Section 11 - How to Configure Foot Pedal/Keyboard.
Changing Camera Settings Clicking on the tool bar will show a panel indicating the camera name and frames per second (fps). Clicking on Additional Settings will allow the user to adjust settings on the video source. Only settings available to the video source chosen will appear.
