2. Safety
This article shows the details of safety when operation. The operator and technician
must be certified after professional training of safety, know well the requirements of safety
and steps to operate the laser.
2.1 Electric safety
1．Make sure the voltage of laser requiring will be adapted by local electricity supply.
2. 10 minutes after switching off and plug off the cable, only the maintenance can be
started. No leave the laser without anyone taking care of by power on, or else injure will be
happened to human or laser itself.
3. Ensure that all the operators and their assistants know how to operate the laser
and know well how to switch off laser when emergency.
4. There is high voltage inside the laser, only qualified technicians or workers from
Perfectlaser can repair of maintain the laser.
5. The laser connects earth with a wire of yellow and green color, photo A. Fine earth
connection is very important.
A
(Different regions may have a different style electric plug, above photo only can be
reference.)
2.2 Optical safety
1. Laser headpiece is of high energy output, no look at directly without any
protection.
2. Ensure the operating room is no mirrors or any articles which can function as a
mirror to reflect the laser.
3. Ensure that all the operators and assistants know well the knowledge of optical
safety.
4. Ensure that all the operators and assistants and workers are protected well by
goggles, and the patients are wearing the eye-patch.
5. As the high laser peak power and density, operation error will damage the skin.
6. Laser 1064nm is invisible; the eyes will be blanked forever if wrongly shooing into.
7. Laser 755nm is visible red, and the eyes will be blanked forever if wrongly

shooting into. Also, staring for long while, discomfort will be caused.
8. Laser definitely cannot shoot at eyes even goggles and eye-patch are well
wearing.
9. The remarkable area should plant a label plate “ Caution of Laser”

3.3 Environment
1. Air quality：
The system should work in a non-corrosive environment. Corrosive substances, such
as acids, etc., may damage the surface of the wires and electronic equipment. Dust in
the air should be kept to the minimum. Metal particles have a corrosive effect on the
electronic device.
2. Temperature and humidity
Working temperature：10-30 ℃
keep temperature：0-55 ℃
Working Relative Humidity：max 80%
Storage relative humidity：Max 90%
3. Atmospheric pressure：860hPA— 1060hPA

Alexandrite Long Pulse Laser 755nm-GENTAL MAX PRO
1. Prepare the electric plug.
2.Insert into the plug.
3.Switch on.
4.2 Water-cooling system
Due to the generated huge heat of the xenon lamp when do treatment, and the
treatment handle cooling the skin produce a lot of heat, so the machine needs to add a
certain amount of pure water before work.
Water added standard：Distilled water or purified water（avoid to use tap water or
mineral water, otherwise it will seriously affect the working life of the machine and the
cooling effect.）
1. Water tank capacity：15L.
2. the shortest period of replace cooling water: three months.
3. Cooling water filling (see 4.1.3 step)：
a. Water monitoring program.
b. water monitored. Machine built-in flow monitoring devices. The machine
starts to work, then flow monitoring module to work. If the water monitoring
module can not feel water, the machine will automatically lock the user
interface and prompt "Water is not circulating", accompanied by sound of the
buzzer.
c. Water temperature monitoring. Machine built-in temperature monitoring
sensor, monitoring the temperature of the cooling water into the water
circulation system. The upper temperature limit is set to 50℃. If the cooling
water temperature reaches the set limit, the user interface is automatically
locked, and prompt "temperature too high", and accompanied by sound of
the buzzer. Machine built-in radiator module, at room temperature (25℃),
and operating room ventilation is good, the machine can guarantee
continuous operation. If the room temperature is too high, or operation room
ventilated effect is bad, or water filling not enough，after the machine working
for some time, it may reach the upper temperature limit, then alarm and stop
working. At this approach: First, Wait for the machine cooled to room
temperature. Second, change the water with normal temperature. If the
summer temperature of some certain areas is too high (above 35℃), the
13 / 32

Alexandrite Long Pulse Laser 755nm-GENTAL MAX PRO
operating room should install air-conditioning equipment to ensure the
temperature about 25 ℃before using the machine; otherwise the water
temperature will be a sharp rise in a short time, which will not all shortens the
working time of the machine , but also affect the service life of the machine.
d. Water quality monitoring. Machine Built-in cooling water quality monitoring
module. if the water is impurities, and water quality is bad, the machine will
no longer monitor the water flow, suggesting that "water is not circulating." It
should replace the cooling water in this time.
e. water level monitoring. The machine has no built-level monitoring module or
device.
External water level displays the current flow in the water tank. The water line
should be 7 or more.

"Cartagena" sound, the start device inside the machine will start the machine, the user
interface will light.
5.1.2 Monitor operation guide
2. The main display of the machine is light, enter the initialization interface. In the
same time variety of detection devices inside the machine run. The following welcome
page shows on the screen (Figure 5.1.2).
Figure 5.1.2
This is the first logo page. Click anywhere of this page to enter next page for wavelength
selection. (Figure 5.1.3)
3. At this page, please select the wavelength related for treatment. YAG is 1064nm, Alex is
755nm. Now we click “YAG” for example.

Alexandrite Long Pulse Laser 755nm-GENTAL MAX PRO
The difference from YAG, the Alex page, only the energy adjust scale is from
10-60Joules, the others keeps same as YAG. So here we do not explain again for
details.
5.2 Treatment parameter
Check the “Application” page.
5.3 Treatment progress
Take the755nm wavelength as an example. 1064nm wavelength is the same, which will
not be illustrated here again.
The steps are as following:
1. Make sure the machine is installed complete;
2. Make sure the water is full filled;
3. Position the machine correctly beside the treatment table; clean the treatment area;
4. Start the machine;
5. Enter the welcome page;
6. Enter the Alex page;
7. Set up the parameters as required;
8. Press “standby” key to ready for treatment;
9. Now the laser is ready to shoot.
10. Get the headpiece ready on the treatment area;
11. Step the pedal ( or finger switch) to get started; the light should be out on the skin and
the hair should be burned.
Note: to keep the continuous treatment, the pedal should be stepped all the time. Release
the pedal when the treatment needs to stop.
