-To protect the eyes of personnel in the operating room, instruct them to wear recommended safety goggles (or the equivalent) before the operation and not to look at the laser beam directly during the operation.

Recommendedgoggles ......Model YL-300 for frequency doubled Nd: YAG: D315-532 L8 YL DIN

(Produced by YAMAMOTO KOGAKU CO., LTD. Japan)

-To prevent accidents, perform the check following 5.3 Checks Before Use and 5.4 Function Checks (p. 5-3) in the operator’s manual of the main body and record each result in the list (p. 5-5) when starting operation of the photocoagulation system.

•During operation of the photocoagulation system, observe the following instructions:

-To avoid unintended exposure to the laser beam, do not gaze at the aiming beam that is emitted from the laser aperture or direct it toward personnel. Always pay attention to the direction in which it is emitted.

-To avoid accident caused by unauthorized personnel, do not leave the photocoagulation system unattended while it is operational. If the operator has to be away from the system, turn the key switch to the off position, remove the key, and store it in the customary place.

•During operation of the photocoagulation system, observe the following instructions:

2 - 4

CAUTION

•In use of the slit lamp, observe the following instructions:

-To avoid damage to the retina of the patient, only trained physician may perform observation using the slit lamp. Do not emit unnecessarily intense laser beam.

-To avoid the blue hazard, set the illumination for observation to the minimum level initially, and then increase it until the desired intensity can be obtained.After the observation, lower theilluminationintensitytotheminimumlevelagain.

-Wipe the forehead rest, the chinrest, and the grips of the slit lamp every time before observing a patient to keep them clean.

•For laser emission, observe the following instructions:

-When the green laser beam (wavelength: 532 nm) of the GYC-1000 is emitted into tissue, following symptoms may occur. Pay attention to the direction of the aiming beam to avoid emitting the laser beam into the eye or onto skin inadvertently.

-Skin symptoms ........... Damage to the cornea, etc. or blindness

-Eye symptoms ............ Pain or burn

-To avoid exposure to the reflected laser beam, verify that there is no reflective object in the optical path before laser emission.

-To avoid excessive reaction, set the laser to a low output power initially, and then increase it until the desired effect can be obtained.Always set the output power to the minimum after the laser emission.

-To avoid damage to the cornea or the crystalline lens, if the indirect lens is used for laser emission, take the magnification into consideration and take care not to make the spot size larger than approximately 200 µm.

-To avoid exposure to the accidentally emitted laser beam, always place the photocoagulation system in the condition in which the laser cannot be emitted (standby mode) except when emittingthelaser.

-Confirm that the photocoagulation system is in a proper condition for laser emission by the following procedures: (if any abnormality is found in step 2, ask Nidek for check and adjustment.

1. Project the aiming spot on an even surface that is not specular.

2. Verify that the intensity of the illumination spot is even around the center as shown in the figure on the right and that lowering of the intensity or vignetting does not occur.

•When the green laser beam is emitted in photocoagulation using the slit lamp, the color of the green laser beam can be seen slightly in the view field occasionally.

This occurs when the beam that is reflected from the contact lens enters the optical system for observation. The symptom differs according to the type of contact lens, and condition in which the green laser beam enters the contact lens.

2.4 After Use Precaution, Maintenance, and Checks

CAUTION

•After use of the photocoagulation system, observe the following instructions:

-To avoid the tracking phenomenon, if the system will not be used for a long period of time, disconnect the power cord from the grounded power outlet.

-To maintain the performance of laser emission, when the photocoagulation system is not being used, turn off the power and put dust cover over it.

•For maintenance of the photocoagulation system, observe the following instructions:

-Toavoidaccidentscausedbyimproperrepairofthesystem,onlyservicetechniciansproperly trained by NIDEK may repair the system.

-To maintain the performance of laser emission, take care not to scratch or accumulate dust on the optical parts such as lens and mirror.

-To protect the exterior or maintain the operability of the system, do not use organic or abrasive solvents for cleaning.

•For check of the photocoagulation system, observe the following instructions:

-To maintain the performance of laser emission, ask NIDEK or your authorized distributor for calibration of output power and exposure time of the laser beam, and for measurement of the earth resistance and leakage current once a year.

-To avoid infection, wipe the surface of the delivery unit (especially the inside parts of the headband and overband) with a clean cloth dampened with alcohol before returning it to NIDEK for repair or maintenance.

•Inreplacingtheilluminationlampoftheslitlamp,observethefollowinginstructions:

-To avoid burn, replace the burned-out illumination lamp when it has been cooled enough.

-To avoid troubles, use the illumination lamp of the specified rating.

-To avoid reduction of life time of the lamp, do not touch the glass part of it with bare hands. If the glass part is touched with bare hands, wipe the part with a clean cloth dampened with alcohol.

2.5 Disposal

CAUTION

•When disposing of the delivery unit, follow the local governing ordinances and recycling plans. (For details, ask NIDEK or your authorized distributor.)

•Whendisposingofpackingmaterials,sortthembymaterialandfollowlocalgoverningordinances andrecyclingplans.

•When disposing of the GYC main body and the Slit lamp, see the operator’s manual for each.

2.6Safety Devices

[LASER EMISSION indicator]

During the photocoagulation system operation (while the key switch is in the ON ( ) position), the LASER EMISSION indicator on the slit lamp delivery unit lights up to call the operator’s attention.

[Protective filter]

To protect the operator’s eye from the reflected light of the green laser beam, “electrically powered” protectivefilterisavailable.

If the filter is not set in the observation optical path when the foot switch is pressed to emit the green laser beam, “Err2” indication appears on the control box.

[Manual reset function]

After the photocoagulation system is stopped due to the stop signal from the remote connector, the line power being cut, or an unintended cause, etc., the system does not restart automatically even when all the problems are solved and the system is ready to be restarted. It depends on the operator’s decision whether to restart the system or not. To restart the system, turn the key switch to the OFF () position (manual reset), and then to the ON () position again.

2.7 Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD)

The nominal ocular hazard distance (NOHD) of the laser beam of the slit lamp delivery unit is as follows:

NOHD = 14.6 m
