Device Overview

The Fraxel Laser Systems are designed for cutaneous laser treatment. These devices are part of the family of Solta Medical products utilizing the Fractional Photothermolysis principle. The Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927 Laser System has two infra-red fiber lasers with wavelengths of 1550 nm and 1927 nm. The two wavelength option allows for targeted treatment of different tissue depths. The 1550 nm laser coagulates the epidermis and dermis with up to 1.6 mm depth of penetration. The 1927 nm laser coagulates epidermis and superficial dermis with up to 0.3 mm depth of penetration. The laser sources are controlled by an embedded processor. The solid state design of the Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927 Laser Systems typically result in limited maintenance and minimal utilities requirements. The output of the fiber laser is focused into the skin using lenses contained within the handpiece. Computer controlled motors within the handpiece and the software control architecture direct the laser system to deliver focused spots in an evenly spaced treatment pattern. These advanced features allow for precisely controlled delivery of the fractional laser treatment. Interchangeable tips allow for treatment of both small and large areas. The small tip design is intended to allow for treatment of smaller areas. This manual is intended to help you get the most from your system as you make the Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927 Laser Systems an integral part of your practice. It is our intention that the information provided assists the operator in successful use of this product. This manual is not intended to substitute for training by authorized Solta Medical personnel prior to treatment of patients. If you have additional questions, please contact your local Solta Customer Service representative directly.

1.4.4

Calibration Port

The calibration procedure is enforced by the software. CAUTION: The handpiece tip must be removed from the handpiece prior to calibration. Take precautions to ensure that neither the handpiece internal sealing window, the tip window, nor the calibration port window become contaminated before, during, or after the calibration procedure as this may result in poor clinical outcome, damage to the machine or injury to the physician or patient.

1.4.5

Umbilical Cord and Support Arm

The umbilical cord is managed by the adjustable support arm. When using focal cooling with the Cool Roller Tip, the Zimmer cool air delivery hose should be clipped onto the electrical umbilical cable and draped over the support arm as shown in section 1.3 Air Tubing Clips are recommended to secure the Zimmer hose to the handpiece communication cable along the length of the hose. The clips also minimize excess movement stress which can cause a crack on the plastic molding of the Single Operator Cooling (SOC) Air Conduit. The clip closest to the SOC should be attached within 12" at the end of the Zimmer hose that attaches to the SOC. Ensure that there are no kinks in the hose.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to coil the umbilical beyond the resistance point of the armoring. Do not use if the internal cables and wires are visible through holes or gaps in the umbilical armoring as this may cause inadvertent exposure of laser energy to persons in the room.

1.4.6

Treatment Tip

Removable disposable tips attach to the distal portion of the handpiece and MUST be in place prior to any treatment. The tips are interchangeable and are available in small and large sizes of approximately 7 and 15 mm, respectively. The different sizes allow for treatment of both small and large areas. The system detects contact between the tip and skin and translates handpiece motion into velocity information. The tips have a finite treatment lifetime. When using the tips, ensure that the cooling channel adaptor is clipped onto that side of the handpiece as shown in section 1.3. Connect the distal end of the Zimmer air cooler delivery hose to the white cylinder at the end of the clear tubing. The closest clip to the SOC should be attached within 12" of the end of the Zimmer hose as shown below. Cool air will flow down the cooling channel into the Cool Roller Tip. The air will flow across the skin between the rollers and exhaust from the opposite side.

Inspect tip window for contamination before the tip is installed onto the handpiece. The rollers used in the Fraxel Cool Roller Tip, are for single patient use only. Do not reuse. Multiple patient use may create the potential risk of cross contamination of biological agents from one patient to another. Note: Handpiece tracking could be adversely affected by tip window fogging or condensation. Remove tip from handpiece to observe both sides of the tip window.

Part Number P009220-03

Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927 Laser System

CAUTION: The handpiece tip must be attached to the distal portion of the handpiece prior to any treatment. If this is not done, the laser system will not function properly which may result in injury to the physician or patient. 1.4.7

Power Cord

A hospital grade power cord connects the laser to the electrical outlet. The power cord entry on the back of the console is a standard IEC60320 type C14 male connector. The power cord needs to have a standard IEC60320 type C13 female connector. CAUTION: Do not substitute another power cord for the one supplied with the unit or provided by your local representative. Do not use the power cord if it becomes frayed or damaged in any way. Contact Solta Medical or your local authorized distributor of Solta Medical lasers for a replacement, if necessary. Do not pull on the cord to pull the plug out of the socket. 1.4.8

Cart

The cart serves as a platform for the console when counter space is limited. The cart has wheels which allows for better mobility when moving the laser system, and drawers available for storage of accessories. CAUTION: Always lock the wheels prior to operation of the laser. If it is necessary to manually lift the Laser System Console and Cart, or to separate the console from the cart, two people must perform the lifting operation. Failure to follow this directive may result in serious injury or damage to the unit.
