AMD Lasers PICASSO Operating Instructions Manual
Disposable Tips & Protective Cap
The advantage of a disposable tip over the traditional strippable and cleavable fiber is reduced set-up time since no stripping or
cleaving of fiber is necessary. This accessory device is an "applied part" per IEC 60601-1.
FIGURE 13: DISPOSABLE TIP
FIGURE 14: PROTECTIVE CAP
CAUTION: THE DISPOSABLE TIPS, WHICH ARE THE APPLIED PARTS (FIGURE 13), ARE FOR SINGLE USE ONLY AND MUST BE CLEANED PRIOR TO USE.
CAUTION: USE A DISINFECTING WIPE, SUCH AS CAVIWIPES™ TO CLEAN THE DISPOSABLE TIP PRIOR TO USE.
To install a disposable tip, remove the blue protective cap (Figure 14) and slide the tip over the handpiece until the tip is fully seated.
You should hear and feel a slight 'click' when the tip snaps into place. To remove, pull gently on the tip and dispose of properly.
The tip initiation procedure is the same as in the case of traditional fiber (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
These tips have a bendable steel cannula allowing the user to customize the angle of each tip for a specific application. The tip can
be bent from 0° to a maximum of 90°. To bend the tip, pressure should be applied only in the middle of the metal cannula to form a
smooth curve. See the Quick Start Guide for additional information.
CAUTION: DO NOT BEND THE TIP MORE THAN 90 DEGREES. DO NOT BEND THE TIP AT THE BASE OF THE CANNULA.
Bending the disposable tip more than once in an unintended manner is a risk to the fiber optic cable inside the cannula leading to
potentially lowered power output.
After bending to the desired angle, the cannula should be visually inspected to ensure the tip is intact. Care should be taken to not
bend the metal cannula multiple times.
CAUTION: ALWAYS CHECK FOR PRESENCE OF THE AIMING BEAM BY SHINING THE TIP ONTO A NON-REFLECTIVE SURFACE BEFORE FIRING THE
LASER. IF THE AIMING BEAM SETTING ON THE DEVICE IS NOT "OFF" AND YOU DO NOT SEE THE AIMING BEAM, DO NOT USE THE TIP. IT MAY
BE BROKEN WHICH COULD RESULT IN HEATING OF THE METAL CANNULA POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENTAL BURN TO THE PATIENT.
QUAD TIP I
to be discontinued in 2013
THE QUADRA TIP I & II (PICASSO ONLY)
The Quadra Tip I & II above are used in conjunction with the Multi-Tip Handpiece for teeth whitening only. To use the Quadra Tips,
remove the protective cap from the end of the Quadra Tips and slide it onto the Multi-Tip Handpiece (MTHP) until you hear a click.
Slide the whitening adapter (1) onto the Quadra Tips (2) until it is fully seated.
Note: The AMD LASERS logo should face up on the adapter, and the notch on the adapter should align with the Quadra Tips peg.
The Quadra Tips are used 1–2 mm from the teeth once the bleach is placed on the teeth. Do not contact the patient with the Quadra
Tips. Follow the instructions provided with the Whitening Gel.
CAUTION: THE QUADRA TIPS ARE NOT AUTOCLAVABLE AND SHOULD BE COLD DISINFECTED ONLY. IT IS NOT A DISPOSABLE. SINGLE-USE ITEM.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MULTI-TIP HANDPIECE AND QUADRA TIPS
The use of CaviWipes™ Disinfectant and Cleaner is recommended for cleaning the Multi-tip Handpiece and Quadra Tips. Please
follow the recommended instructions provided by the manufacturer for use and disposal.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY CLEANING AGENTS ON THE REFLECTIVE SURFACE OF THE WHITENING ADAPTER.
