INTRODUCTION
The Epic™ 10 diode laser is a surgical and therapeutic device at the cutting edge of technology,
designed for a wide variety of oral soft tissue procedures and dental whitening, as well as for
use in providing temporary relief of minor pain.
The Epic 10 utilizes a solid state diode as a semiconductor source for invisible infrared
radiation. The energy is delivered to the treatment site via flexible fiber connected at one end to
the laser source and the other end to the Handpiece. Various types of single use, disposable
tips are designed and optimized for different applications. The device is activated by means of
a wireless footswitch.
This is a prescription device that is indicated for professional use only by licensed medical and
dental practitioners. The use of this device requires proper clinical and technical training. This
manual provides instructions for those professionals that have completed the appropriate
training.
When used and maintained properly, the Epic 10 will prove a valuable addition to your practice.
