INTRODUCTION

s dentists strive to create the perfect smile, they are often compromised by the technology they use in their practice.

A
Respected leaders from the dental profession and dental equipment manufacturers have sought to identify the most practical
and least invasive technology available to deliver restorative and preventive care. Today, thanks to continuing efforts by these
industry leaders, we have seen the introduction of many new devices that have advanced the dental professional’s ability to

erform at the highest standards.

p

®

The ODYSSEY
available for soft tissue modification and preventative care; now featuring wireless power control. Unlike solid state lasers
that utilize a man-made rod of elements such as yttrium, aluminum, and garnet, doped with a rare earth compound like
Erbium, the diode has components that have become known for their durability, dependability and longevity. We are, of
course, referring to semi-conductor crystal technology like that found in televisions, DVD players, telephones and many more
household products that we have learned to rely on each day. The major components of the ODYSSEY NAVIGATOR are semi­conductor “chips” made from Aluminum, Gallium and Arsenide, together commonly referred to as AlGaAs. They are activat­ed or “pumped” by passing an electrical current through the diode to produce an elliptical shaped display of monochromatic
light that can be focused into a very small point and placed into the delivery fiber.

The wavelength produced by the diode is approximately 810 nanometers (nm) and produces invisible non-ionizing thermal
radiation that does not create changes in cellular DNA. The diode is air cooled and highly efficient when used correctly. For
safety, the diode features several ways to stop energy flow if the operator wishes to deactivate the laser. The safety system
includes a choice of an emergency shutoff switch, a power switch, a power cord or an electrical plug. Any of these items
can be used to shut down the laser. The design and technology used in the ODYSSEY NAVIGATOR allows the dentist or
hygienist* to transport the laser between different operatories. It has a lightweight and durable chassis that is designed to
use 110 – 120 V electricity found in most dental offices.

NAVIGATOR™DIODE LASER from Ivoclar Vivadent, Inc. represents the latest solid state diode laser technology

Training is recommended and opportunities for such are available through such outlets as Ivoclar Vivadent, Inc. Please visit
our web site for training dates and locations at www.getodysseylaser.com. In addition, The Academy of Laser Dentistry,
dental schools and many dental continuums offer suitable courses. You may also ask your authorized dealer representative
for the names of dental professionals in your area who have a laser and who could help you in a mentoring capacity. Laser
safety is paramount in importance and each office should quickly develop and implement a laser safety program and appoint
a “laser safety officer” to be responsible for the laser. Their duties include management of the laser and all accessories as
well as training office personnel in all aspects of laser safety. There are many applications for using this laser system and you
will be amazed at the results and wonder how you ever practiced dentistry without the ODYSSEY NAVIGATOR.

* In States / Provinces where the Dental Practice Act does not prevent hygientists to utilize a laser.

LASER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

3.1.4 Connection of Handpiece Assembly to the Laser

1. The handpiece assembly is already installed when you receive your new
Odyssey Navigator Diode Laser. Please leave the handpiece assembly
connected to the laser unit unless you have to switch handpiece
assemblies or if you have to ship the laser for technical reasons.

Disconnecting the handpiece for even short periods can lead to
contamination of the precision polished end of the fiber connector.
This may result in reduced power output of your laser over time.
Fig 3.1.4.a

2. If you have to disconnect the cable, keep the fiber tip connector
of the handpiece and the connector on the bottom of your Odyssey
Navigator clean. Use a protective plastic sleeve from a disposable tip to
protect the end of the handpiece assembly at any time and be sure
not to touch the precision polished end of the connector. Fig 3.1.4b

Section 3

Fig 3.1.4a

Install the protective metal cap to protect the connector on the bottom of
your laser from dust and other contaminants. The protective metal cap
serves also as protection from accidental firing of the laser. Fig 3.1.4c

Contaminants on the fiber ends may lead to the malfunction
of your handpiece. Please take special care in exchanging
handpiece assemblies.

3. Installation of a handpiece assembly to the laser should be done in a
clean environment. Attach the handpiece fiber assembly by screwing the
knurled connector of the cable into the bottom of the laser unit. Avoid
scratching the end of the fiber connector when inserting the cable.
Fig 3.1.4d

The custom engineered connector at the bottom of your Odyssey
Navigator does not allow operating the laser if there is no handpiece
assembly present. This is a feature for your protection, a Safety Alert
window will pop up on your
screen if you switch on the
laser with out handpiece
installed. Make sure to
moderately hand tighten the
connection of your handpiece
assembly after installation.

Jack. The Remote Interlock Jack is provided so that a clinician
may install the laser in a dedicated laser treatment room such
that the laser will be interlocked with the entrance door of the
room. In such an interlocked installation, the laser would shut
off anytime the door is opened, hypothetically, to protect the
person’s eyes who is entering the room. It is recognized that such
installment is not facilitated nor required in many operatories
or clinics. To that end, the Remote Interlock is available to any
practitioner that requires or requests it. The Remote Interlock
Jack is located and clearly labeled on the side panel of the laser.

The miniphono jack is wired in the normally closed position;
meaning that no further action is required to operate the laser without the interlock loop. If the interlock loop is
desired you may purchase the loop from a local electronics store. You need only inform the local electronics store
that you require a mini (1/8”) miniphono jack wired into a normally closed momentary switch and select the switch
design that best suits your needs. To install the loop, install the switch on the door and simply plug the miniphono
jack into the Remote Interlock Jack on the side panel of the laser.

The Odyssey Navigator diode laser is actually two lasers in one, the infrared 810 nm wavelength laser which
performs the actual treatment of the soft tissue, the “working beam” and the 650 nm “laser pointer” which
illuminates the focal point of the “working beam” allowing the operator to aim prior to and during laser

ctivation. In addition, the aiming beam control allows for five levels of illumination ranging from off to

a
maximum intensity. The open circle indicates no aiming beam and the solid blue circle indicates the brightest
aiming beam.

Fig 3.1.13g

LASER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

3.2 EVALUATING THE FACILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

In order to insure the safe use of the laser in your facility, please check to make sure that the proposed location has the following:

3.2.1 Power Requirements

110 - 240 V AC ±10 % at 50 - 60 Hz
3 Amps
9 volt Lithium battery for the foot pedal

3.2.2 Heating and Ventilation

The laser should be operated in areas with the optimum temperature range of 20º - 30ºC (68º - 86º F).

3.2.3 Transport and Storage

Avoid storing or transporting the laser in temperatures below 0ºC (32º F).

3.2.4 Lighting

Overhead lighting and or dental unit light should provide enough illumination to allow good operator vision when
activating the laser intra-orally.

3.2.5 Combustible Chemicals and Gases

All gases that are combustible or support combustion and are used in the operatory area where the laser is in use must
be turned off during the procedure. Cleaning supplies or other flammable chemical compounds should be stored in an
area away from the surgical site in order to avoid possible combustion (e.g. alcohol gauze, liquid topical anesthetics).

3.2.6 High Speed Vacuum Systems

Plume evacuation is a priority when vaporizing tissues. The Clinician or operator, and their chair-side assistants
should keep themselves and the patient safe by using a high volume vacuum system and filtration masks that are
suitable for virus and bacterial control. Please use a high filtration mask with 0.1 micron or less to protect from
airborn viruses or bacterial particles.

3.2.7 Access and Visual

Access to the treatment area should be restricted while
the laser is in use. A Laser In Use Safety Sign should be
adjacent to the entrance to the treatment area, Fig. 3.2.7.

LASER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

3.2.8 Odyssey Navigator Diode Laser Frequency

The Odyssey Navigator diode laser wireless technology is electronically coded. Each pedal and Odyssey Navigator
diode laser share a UNIQUE SERIAL NUMBER INTERLOCK protocol for reliable operation:

• An Odyssey Navigator pedal communicates with only one Odyssey Navigator diode laser; there is 2-way
electronic code which must be verified for every transmission and acknowledgement. The pedal and laser
unit are interlocked to only each-other’s electronic codes.

• If data from another Odyssey Navigator pedal is ever received, embedded verification measures ensure that
it will be ignored.

• If data were ever received from another wireless device with a compatible modulation scheme
(2.4GHz frequency), it would immediately be ignored in the same way. In summary, the wireless receivers
in the Odyssey Navigator diode laser have less than 2% of the output power of typical Bluetooth or Wi-Fi
devices, and therefore have no significant potential as an interference source. Odyssey Navigator wireless
receiver modulation is incompatible with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth devices, and therefore cannot mistakenly receive
data from such devices. Through a unique internal communication structure, and strict verification of all
incoming data, nothing activates an Odyssey Navigator diode laser except the wireless pedal which it is
paired with via electronic code.

T h e L e a d e r i n D i o d e L a s e r s .

Section 4

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

he safe use of the Odyssey Navigator is the responsibility of the entire dental team, the laser safety officer appointed, and

T
the dental office team. Protocols for the safe use of lasers have been developed by a combination of medical and dental pro­fessionals working in concert with educators at the university level, scientists and laser manufacturers. Dental professionals
have had to develop protocols and guidelines for using the laser on oral soft tissues. Sound judgment and the concern for

atient safety should be the basis of all laser care.

p

Usually, states or provinces do not have a specific licensure requirement for use of a laser by a dentist. Certain states and
provinces, like Texas and Alberta, however, require the dental office to be certified and inspected prior to using a laser. The
user is advised to check with the local Dental Association or State website to be aware of any specific requirements in your
location. Some states require a hygienist to attend licensure training that includes both a lecture and hands-on training. Prior
to using the laser, the hygiene applicants are required to pass a proficiency test for certification. These courses are usually
taught by members of the Academy of Laser Dentistry who possess instructor credentials.

Worker safety is the responsibility of the employer. ANSI standard Z136.1 (US) and CSA standard Z386-01 concerning Laser
Safety in Health Care Facilities are sources for analyzing safety with respect to medical lasers. Ivoclar Vivadent Inc. recom­mends implementation of a Laser Safety Program for the safety of your patients and office staff in connection with the use of
the Odyssey Navigator Diode Laser.

4.1 LASER SAFETY PROGRAM

We recommend implementation of a Laser Safety Program appropriate for your dental office. The plan may include
the following:

• Delegation of authority and responsibility for supervision and control of the laser to a designated Laser
Safety Officer;

• Minimum Training requirements for users of the laser;

• Security to restrict unauthorized use of the laser;

• Standard operating procedures to regulate the work environment in order to protect the patient and
office staff from laser hazards.

The safe use of a laser is the responsibility of the Laser Safety Officer (LSO) who can be a full or part-time employee,
or the laser operator. It is their responsibility to train the staff, maintain records concerning training and the laser’s
performance, perform safety checks and prepare the laser for use on a daily basis. The LSO must keep records of
any incidents that relate to the failure of the laser or any adverse effects related to laser therapy and report such
incidents as prescribed by law. The LSO assures that a medical follow-up has been sought or has occurred following
any adverse incident during treatment. The LSO is responsible for training of all office personnel who are involved
with the laser preparation and use. Daily checks of the facility and equipment are also the LSO’s responsibility. The
LSO should test fire the laser each day prior to beginning each treatment procedure. For more information on the
contents of a Laser Safety Plan, you can review ANSI Standard Z136.3 for Safe Use of Lasers in Health Care Facilities
(US) or CAN/CSA-Z386-01 Laser Safety in Health Care Facilities(Canada).

4.2 CONTINUING EDUCATION

The Laser Safety Officer should insure that the operator and staff attend laser courses taught by qualified laser
educators. Ongoing reviews of laser safety procedures should be a part of normal office routine.

Section 4

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

4.3 IN-OFFICE SAFETY ISSUES

4.3.1 Lighting

Always use the Odyssey Navigator in a well lighted and ventilated area.

4.3.2 Combustible chemicals or gases

Make certain that chemicals or gases capable of supporting or causing combustion are not present when using
the laser (e.g. alcohol gauze, liquid topical anesthetics).

4.3.3 Safety Eyewear

While using the Odyssey Navigator laser, doctors, hygienists, auxiliary staff, patients, and anyone attending them
in the operatory must wear the appropriate safety eyewear that has been designed for use with the 810 nm
wavelength. Never point the laser tip directly at the face, eyes or skin of anyone while emitting energy. The aiming
beam is also capable of causing eye damage.

4.3.4 Test Firing the Laser

Always test-fire the Odyssey Navigator prior to using it intra-orally using a power of 1 Watt continuous wave or less.
Place the laser in the ready mode, then, activate the laser for 1-2 seconds while aiming the fiber onto a 2X2 gauze
sponge wetted with water. Do not use alcohol or any other combustible material to wet the 2X2 sponge as it may
ignite. Please be aware the the 810 nm working beam is invisible to the human eye! You can only see the red
650 nm aiming beam if it is turned on.

4.3.5 Power Changes With Fiber Changes

Switching to a smaller diameter fiber will increase the density of the power at the fiber tip. As a result, you may need
to adjust your power downward. Increasing the power may be required when switching to a larger diameter fiber. In
order to achieve the same rate of work after changing fiber diameters, remember this: a smaller diameter fiber will
require less power and conversely, a larger diameter will require more power.

4.3.6 Danger - Laser In Use Signage

Each operatory where the Odyssey Navigator is used should have a “laser in use” sign placed at the operatory
entrance when a procedure is in progress. This signage will help to eliminate eye damage caused by inadvertent
exposure to laser energy. Additional signs can be ordered through Ivoclar Vivadent Customer Service.

4.3.7 Sharps Disposal and Sponge Removal

Remove cleaved fiber remnants and place them into a Sharps container for disposal. Used fiber tips should also be
disposed of in a Sharps container. All sponges used for cleanup of lasers and fibers should be disposed of in a bag
for contaminated soft products.

4.3.8 Plume Evacuation

Use high volume evacuation suction during procedures to remove laser smoke or ‘plume’ debris. Use masks suitable
for viral filtration. Caution - laser plume may contain viable tissue particulates. Please use a high filtration mask with

0.1 micron or less to protect from airborn viruses or bacterial particles.

4.3.9 Laser Security

22

To prevent the unintentional use of the laser while not in use, the unit should be switched off. An electronic
password is required to be entered before the unit may be used again. This code should be maintained by the
Laser Safety Officer.

T h e L e a d e r i n D i o d e L a s e r s .

4.3.10 Emergency Shutdown Options

Any of these mechanisms can be used to shut down the emission of laser energy in a real or perceived emergency:

1. Depress and release the emergency shutdown button

2. Foot Pedal – remove your foot to stop lasing

3. Switch the Power/Fan to the off position (O)

4. Power Cord – unplug from the wall outlet

4.3.11 Hard Tissue Procedures

The Odyssey Navigator diode is not an appropriate laser for hard tissue procedures. The diode laser is attracted to
melanin, hemoglobin and, to some extent, water and oxygenated hemoglobin. Avoid prolonged exposure of the
energy when working in and around the cervical areas of the tooth. Due to the thin layer of enamel in this area, the
laser’s energy may be absorbed by the hemoglobin in the pulp and pulpal hyperemia may occur. Extended exposure
to laser energy could lead to pain and possible pulpal necrosis.

OPERATING THE LASER

5.0 INTENDED USES

The Odyssey Navigator is intended to be used for oral soft tissue surgery including: sulcular debridement
of diseased or fibrous tissue, i.e. excision and biopsy, gingivectomy and gingivoplasty, lesion (tumor) removal,
fibroma removal, tissue retraction (troughing), aphthous ulcers, gingival hyperplasia (excision and recontour), crown
lengthening, operculectomy, frenectomy and photocoagulation. In addition, the Odyssesy Navigator laser may be
used for laser periodontal procedures, including: laser soft tissue curettage, laser removal of diseased, infected,
inflamed and necrosed soft tissue within the periodontal pocket, removal of inflamed edematous tissue
affected by bacteria penetration of the pocket lining and junctional epithelium. The Clinical Guide supplied with
your Odyssey Navigator laser provides suggestions for laser settings for certain
procedures, as does the pre-set programs in the Odyssey Navigator laser.

5.1 STANDBY AND READY STATUS

Stand By mode is indicated by the laser having power and the digital key

code entered to access programming options. However, laser energy will not
be emitted even if the foot pedal is depressed. Ready mode is achieved by
touching the Ready button found on the program screens. A green check
mark on the screen will evidence Ready Mode, Fig. 5.1. Once Ready is
touched, the laser may be activated by depressing the foot pedal.

5.2 CONTINUOUS OR PULSE MODE

Ready Mode Indicator

Fig 5.1

The Odyssey Navigator will deliver energy in either a
continuous wave (CW) mode or in a pulsed mode which
are called temporal emission modes (time related modes).
Selecting the appropriate mode is a factor of controlling
target tissue temperatures and the efficiency of energy delivered. The pulse duration (0.05 seconds) and the number
of pulses per second (10) have been fixed by the manufacturer using a 50% duty cycle. This setting can not be adjusted.
The chosen mode is displayed in gray color.

5.2.1 Continuous Wave (CW) Mode

Setting the laser to the CW mode, allows you to deliver the specified amount of power in one second. Setting the
laser to 2 Watts CW will allow you to deliver 2 Watts per second as long as you have the foot pedal depressed. The
CW mode is generally the fastest way to ablate tissues but heat can build up and cause collateral damage to the tar­get and adjacent tissues. Cool the tissues being lased by using periodic blast of air from a triplex syringe and high
speed suction. You may use water to cool in areas where there is prolonged exposure to the laser’s beam. Avoid

using the air syringe when you have an opening in soft tissue adjacent to or within the surgery site. An
air embolism may occur as a result of air captured within the tissue during the cooling process.

5.2.2 Pulsed Energy Mode

Pulsing the laser energy will allow some cooling of the tissue in between emissions of energy. The “duty cycle” is
the percentage of the time in each second that the laser is emitting energy. The pulses per second, the duty cycle
and the energy intensity per pulse will determine your average power. In the pulsed mode, the Odyssey Navigator
is programmed to deliver 10 pulses per second with each pulse lasting for 0.05 seconds. The duty cycle is set for
50% so you will have 1 energy pulse with 1 period of rest with no energy between each pulse. The result will be an
average power per second that will be 50% of what you have set the laser for. Therefore, when using pulsed energy,
you will have to adjust your power upward in order to achieve the same rate of work as the same power set in CW,
i.e. 2 Watts of Pulsed energy will be the same average power output as 1 Watt CW.

24

T h e L e a d e r i n D i o d e L a s e r s .

5.3 TISSUE RESPONSES TO LASER ENERGY

Maximum results will be achieved by regulating the power and the speed that the operator moves the fiber tip.
Tissue Charring is an undesirable after effect of too much power or the tip moving too slowly. Always use the
least amount of power necessary to complete your procedure. The ideal tissue response will show little or no
discoloration after lasing and there will be less residual damage and faster healing. Avoid penetrating or damaging
the periosteum, and do not use the laser on alveolar bone. Because the laser energy is attracted to melanin and
hemoglobin, power must be reduced when treating patients with darker soft tissue. Always begin lasing with the
lowest power you can use to remove or modify the target tissues. Avoid damage to the gingival sulcus by moving
the fiber tip quickly and using low power settings. Check so that no shard is present on the tip. A shard may act as a
miniature scalpel and damage the small blood vessels, thus preventing hemostasis and coagulation.

5.4 SYSTEMS PROCEDURES

5.4.1 Treatment Area Requirements

The laser should be placed in an area with good ventilation and lighting. The electrical service required is a
110 - 240 Volt AC outlet 50 - 60 Hz. The area where the laser is placed should be free of standing water.
Combustible gases or those that support combustion should be turned off and all flammable materials or chemicals
stored in the area should be removed.

Section 5

OPERATING THE LASER

5.4.2 Foot Pedal

It is recommended to use a 9 volt Lithium battery to power the cordless foot pedal. This type of battery has been
tested to last for over 100 hours of foot pedal operation. When the battery voltage begins to drop, the foot pedal
will begin to beep, signaling that you have approximately 2 hours of operating time left before the battery life is
completed.

NOTE: A 9 volt Alkaline battery may be used, however the life expectancy of an Alkaline battery is less than 35 hours
of operating time.

5.4.3 Unit-Dose Fiber Tip

Make sure the tip is “snapped” onto the handpiece. Please read chapter 6.3.4 for test instructions.

5.4.4 Fiber Preparation/Initiation

To prepare the fiber for cutting, if your procedure calls for it, set the power to 1 watt, activate the laser, and touch
the tip to black or blue articulating paper. This initiates the tip for cutting.

5.4.5 Emergency Shut Off Button

Check the Emergency Shutdown Button to see that it is depressed, if not, gently depress the button.

5.4.6 Digital Key

Activate the digital key by entering 1234 on the touch pad. The Main Menu screen will appear.

5.4.7 Setting Parameters for the Quick Set Mode

Review your power and mode requirements and then depress the mode button to select either Continuous (CW)
or pulsed mode.

5.4.8 Select Your Power

Press the arrows until you have reached the desired Wattage. Beginning with a low of 0.1 Watts, the power increas­es in increments of 100 mW up to a maximum of 3.0 Watts (CW). By holding the arrow keys to increase or decrease
the power, you can have an un-interrupted increase until you reach your desired power.

5.4.9 Selecting Programs

At the Main Menu Screen you will have choices to select a program by scrolling the “Procedures” list in alphabetical
order, or by choosing “Specialty” which lists programs grouped by specialty categories such as Cosmetic or
Periodontics. You can also create your own Favorites programs by following the screen instructions under “Save as
Favorite”.

5.4.10 Aiming Beam

The aiming beam laser pointer can be turned on and off by pressing the aiming beam button on the laser control
panel. Press the arrow buttons to progressively increase or decrease the aiming beam intensity from 0 (off) to full
intensity. Each circle represents approximately 20% of the aiming beam output.

NOTE: Adjusting the intensity of the aiming beam has no effect on the output power of the primary working laser.

5.4.11 Tips

The tips are provided pre-cleaved and polished for immediate use. Examine the Fiber Tip to insure that there is not a
fiber tip shard (see Fig 5.6.11a and b for comparison). The shard can act like a miniature scalpel and cause damage
while diffusing the light beam and lowering the laser’s power.

Good cleave – Fig. 5.4.11a

Poor cleave – Fig. 5.4.11b

5.4.12 Procedure

1. Depress the Ready button and the aiming beam should light after 2 seconds. Review your power and mode
requirements and then depress the mode button to select either CW or Pulsed mode.

2. Test fire the laser outside the mouth by activating the laser into a 2 X 2 gauze sponge that has been wetted
with water to prevent combustion. Do not use flammable liquids to wet the sponge.

5

you are ready to start another procedure.

6. Remove the unit dose fiber tip and dispose in a suitable biowaste Sharps disposal.

7. Remove the handpiece sleeve only and follow the autoclave instructions.

8. If you are not going to be starting another procedure, return back to the Main Menu and press Logout. It is
now safe to turn the power button to the OFF position.

9. Record the Powers and total lasing times used for each procedure in the patient’s chart.

Example:

Patient Name: Mary Jones
Procedure: Gingivectomy # 6 and # 7
#6 Lasing time 90 seconds @ 2.0 Watts CW air cooled, 810 nm wavelength
#7 Lasing time 60 seconds @ 1.5 Watts CW air / water spray, 810 nm wavelength

5.4.13 Odyssey Navigator Self Diagnostic and Monitoring

When the Odyssey Navigator Laser’s microprocessor detects an issue with performance it will immediately notify you
by way of an audible beep. There are two different ways in which the Odyssey Navigator will alert you to any issues:

1. Continuous audible beep when foot pedal is engaged. If you are operating the Odyssey Navigator with the foot
pedal engaged and the Odyssey Navigator emits a constant audible beep and stops the beep when you release
the foot pedal, the microprocessor has determined that the laser power output has fallen below the set level. In
this event the Odyssey Navigator Laser should be turned off and allowed to sit for 5 minutes then turned on
again. If the Odyssey Navigator then performs without beeping, the microprocessor has been able to make
operational adjustments to the laser and the unit will perform its functions. If, however, upon restart the unit
continues to beep when the foot pedal is engaged, the microprocessor was unable to adjust the unit enough
and the unit will need to be sent in for adjustment.

2. Continuous audible beep when the unit is turned on. If you are operating the Odyssey Navigator and it emits a
constant audible beep whether or not the foot pedal is engaged, the microprocessor has determined that the
laser has either low power or a general fault has occurred. In this event the Odyssey Navigator Laser should be
turned off allowed to sit for 5 minutes and turned on again. If the Odyssey Navigator then performs without
beeping the microprocessor has been able to make operational adjustments to the laser and the unit will per
form its functions. If, however, upon restart the unit continues to beep, the microprocessor was unable to adjust
the unit enough and the unit will need to be sent in for adjustment.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS: PREPARATIONS, CARE AND MAINTENANCE

6.0 UNIT-DOSE FIBER TIPS

The fiber optic element of a laser is responsible for carrying the light from the diode array to the tissue being treated.
The dental laser fibers are usually made of quartz, sapphire, silica or a combination of those elements. Quartz/silica is
the most popular product used in diode lasers. Be advised about the potential hazards when inserting, steeply bend­ing or improperly securing the fiberoptics to the handpiece. Radiation exposure may occur in these instances which
could be harmful to yourself, your staff and your patient. Special care should be taken not to break or snap the fiber
when removing tips from packaging. As the Aiming Beam passes down the same delivery system as the Working
Beam, it provides a good method of checking for integrity of the delivery system. If the aiming beam spot is not
present at the distal end of the delivery system, its intensity is reduced, or it looks diffused, this is a possible indica­tion of a damaged or not properly working delivery system.

6.0.1 General

The unit dose fiber tips contain a pre-cleaved and pre-stripped piece of fiber. They are individually wrapped and
delivered gamma irradiated. They are designed for single application and should be discarded after each use.
If necessary, the tip can be cleaved using the cleaving procedure in 6.1.2.

6.0.2 Replacing a Unit Dose Fiber Tip

Remove plastic cover and push the tip into the handpiece until it locks into place. Do not touch the polished fiber
connector after removing the plastic cover and keep the fiber connection clean.

6.1 FIBER PREPARATION

The unit dose tips are pre-stripped and pre-cleaved for immediate use. If necessary, the tip can be cleaved. See
instructions below.

6.1.1 Quartz/Silica Fiber

The fiber is fairly flexible but can be broken if bent into a small circle or bent at an angle of 90 degrees. The
cladding will burn as protein from the gingival accumulates on the fiber and will deteriorate the tip. It can fracture
if not cleaved once the blackened area has reached 3-4 mm. Stop lasing and wipe off the tip regularly as you work
to avoid accumulation of protein debris. Use water on a 2 x 2 gauze sponge to clean the tip. Do not use flammable
materials like alcohol products when cleaning a hot tip. Dispose of all small fiber remnants after you have cleaved
the fiber. They should be kept in a small box with a lid until they can be properly disposed of in a Sharps container.

6.1.2 Cleaving the Fiber

The tips are designed for single use
application.However, if the need
arises to cleave the tip the operator
should place their index finger at
the spot of the proposed cleave
(Fig. 6.1.2a) so as to stabilize the
fiber. Using the pen style cleaver,
draw the cleave blade across the
top of the fiber with enough pres­sure to ”score” the fiber (Fig.

6.1.2b). The fiber should break at

the score mark. The comparison–
good versus bad cleaves–is shown
in Fig 6.1.2c and Fig 6.1.2d, visible
when you poin the aiming beam
onto a white surface.

Section 6

Fig 6.1.2bFig 6.1.2a

6.1.3 Initiating the Fiber

Some procedures require that the fiber tip be initiated. The tip of the fiber
can be prepared to retain heat by introducing it to a dark material. The
easiest way to prepare the tip is to lightly move the end of the fiber across
a piece of articulating paper at about 1 Watt CW Fig. 6.1.3a and Fig. 6.1.3b.
The tip will retain pigment which will make the tip glow. Do not exceed
contact time of 1 second.

6.2 LASER MAINTENANCE

6.2.1 Laser Chassis Disinfection

The exterior of the laser should be cleaned using a liquid disinfectant similar
to BIREX™ or CIDEX®. Do not spray the disinfectant directly on the
Chassis as liquids could damage the LCD display. Apply with a gauze
sponge or wipe. Do not use abrasive materials to clean the system. Place an
adhesive barrier material over the LCD screen prior to treating the next patient.

6.2.2 LCD Display

Over the lifespan of the device, the display may become opaque from repeated scratches, abrasions and/or organic
debris. This could impair the proper display of information. Should your display show evidence of wear or scratches,
the unit should be returned for service. In the event the LCD display becomes cracked or damaged, the liquid crystal
chemical could leak. Use of the device should be immediately discontinued and the unit returned for servicing in
this case.

6.2.3 Calibration

The Odyssey Navigator Laser uses solid-state circuitry to continuously monitor the power output, and adjusts the
power supplied to the laser module to keep the output consistent with the user defined setting. If output levels are
more than ± 20% of the set value, the unit is designed to shut down power to the laser, and an audible alarm will
sound. If this happens, the unit should be turned off and allowed to sit for 5 minutes and turned on again. If the
laser then performs without beeping, the microprocessor has been able to make operational adjustments and the
unit will perform its functions. If, upon restart, the unit continues to beep, the unit will need to be sent in for adjust­ment by a Ivoclar Vivadent, Inc., Service Department.

We suggest that your practice establish an internal calibration program for your laser. Recalibration is recommended
a minimum of once per year based on average usage. Recalibration may be performed by the manufacturer by
returning the unit. In the alternative, you may purchase a calibrated hand held power meter approved for use with
810nm devices to check power output. The laser should be set at 1, 2 and 3 Watts with output checked at each
level. The output display should be within 20% of the meter reading. If not, recleave the fiber and re-check. If the
output display is still outside the 20% tolerance, return the unit to the manufacturer for recalibration. There are no
methods available for the user to adjust the calibration of the unit and the unit chassis must not be removed by the
user for any reason.

6.2.4 Battery Use

The Odyssey Navigator diode laser is supplied with a rechargeable lithium polymer battery which optimally provides
up to 45 minutes continuing lasing time or 8 hours stand-by time i.e. laser on, not being charged by cradle or AC
power cord. If you find the battery runs the laser for 30 minutes or less after being charged for several hours, the
battery may need replacing. A replacement battery can be ordered. To remove the battery, press on the center but­ton while sliding the battery downward, then lift away from the unit. Install the new battery by placing it onto the
back of the laser, the sliding upward until the lock clicks in place. The new battery must be charged overnight prior
to using the laser.

6.3 HANDPIECE STERILIZATION

6.3.1 Handpiece Components

For sterilization, the handpiece has two (2) components:

1. handpiece and fiber assembly (Fig 6.3.1a)

SYSTEM COMPONENTS: PREPARATIONS, CARE AND MAINTENANCE

6.3.3 Prepare Fiber

The unit dose fiber tips are individually wrapped and gamma irradiated. Fiber tips cannot be autoclaved. They
should be wiped down with cold disinfectant prior to use. If the packaging is visibly damaged or holes are visible,
do not use the fiber tip. The unit dose fiber tips are pre-stripped and pre-cleaved and once inserted on the handpiece
are ready for use. The aiming beam should create a near perfect circle when directed onto a white surface from a
distance of 1/4 - 3/8 inch.

When removing the fiber tip from its packaging, make sure to wear gloves and take care not to damage the fiber.

6.3.4 Mounting the Tip

Seat the disposable fiber tip securely on the handpiece body and snap the tip into
place. Make sure to wear clean gloves and to not touch the fiber and the optical
connector during this procedure.

The fiber tip has to be completely inserted into the handpiece assembly. Make sure
that the serrations at the end of the handpiece sleeve engage with the inner part of
the plastic housing of the fiber tip. The gap between handpiece sleeve and plastic
housing of the fiber tip should not be significantly greater than 1/32 inch or less
than 1mm when fully inserted. Fig 6.3.4a.

Fig 6.3.4a

Proper fit can be tested by a simple shake test as shown in Figures 6.3.4b,c,d. Pick
up the handpiece at the end of the sleeve and shake the handpiece in two or three
abrupt downward movements.

If the tip slides out, re-insert it and try again or use a new fiber tip and follow the
same procedure. Please call your Ivoclar Vivadent representative if the tip will not be
retained as intended. This is a safety measure to ensure proper seating of the tip
during the intra oral procedure and to maintain the selected power output.
