4.4.2 ENT handpiece
This handpiece is used for treating small areas, few square centimeters, and with low powers
because the point of application has high power density.
A) Optic fiber with connector
B) ENT handpiece
Caution
Always cover the connectors with the special protective caps provided for this purpose after the
removal of the handpiece.
Initial check
Caution
Prevent dust, dirt and foreign particles from entering the handpiece.
Make sure that the optic system is always cleaned: before, during and after the use.
Warning
Every time before using the handpiece, make sure that the ENT handpiece has been
disinfected and sterilized in autoclave.
Notice
The ENT handpiece can be sterilized in an autoclave with saturated water vapor at minimum
sterilization values of 134°C (273.2°F), 3 min. holding time and 2.04 bar (29,59 psi)
overpressure without damage.
The operator can attach the ENT handpiece (B) to the connector (A). When attaching or
detaching the parts, we recommend to slightly rotate the two parts. This guarantees an easier
connection. The user must hear a sound (click) locking the parts. This guarantees a correct
connection.
Caution
Check whether the ENT handpiece is damaged before attaching it. Replace it if necessary.
Caution
Please check that the ENT handpiece is firmly attached prior to each use.
Warning
The aiming beam must not be aimed toward a person's eye. It comprises an intensive light
source even when set to a low power level. Always wear protective goggles.
Warning
Be careful because the point of application has high power density.
Do not absolutely exceed more than 1.0 W in the average power and treat zone at distance at
least of 4 cm. During treatment, always move the handpiece!
Notice
Before starting treatment, the device will ask the operator to select optic in use.
In case of ENT handpiece selection, the power will be automatically adapted to an average
power of 0.5W. Total energy to be delivered will be consequently decreased.
After treatment
Warning
After each use, make sure to clean and disinfect the handpiece parts.
Disinfect and sterilize the ENT handpiece.
