Cautions and Warnings
The following is a list of the Cautions and Warnings that appear in this manual as well as the
SculpSure Clinical Reference Guide.
WARNING: CynosureLasers must be used
with accessories and cables as approved by
Cynosure®. Failure of which may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity
of the system.
WARNING: Lasers can cause eye injury.
Never perform any set-up or maintenance
procedures on the SculpSure Laser that
bypass the safety features or lead to
greater exposure beyond normal output.
WARNING: Do not sharply bend or
improperly secure the umbilical. Damage
to the laser fibers, Applicator or laser
delivery system and harm to the client or
laser operator may result.
CAUTION: Portable and mobile radio
frequency (RF) communication equipment
can affect the SculpSure workstation.
WARNING: No modification of this
equipment is allowed. Modification of
equipment can result in improper
operation causing possible injury.
WARNING: Do not treat over a previously
treated area if there are any unresolved
nodules, hardness, or other adverse side
effects.
WARNING: Exercise particular care when
using system in oxygen rich environment.
Laser may cause ignition by accelerating the
combustion of flammable material.
CAUTION: Take anti-static precautions
when replacing the battery; failure to take
proper anti-static precautions could
damage the laser system.
CAUTION: When attempting to move the
system, always pull SculpSure by its
handle. Do not push the machine.
Toppling of the system may result.
CAUTION: Do not submerge the Applicator
in any fluid. Damage may result.
CAUTION: The SculpSure Laser System
may be dangerous if used improperly.
Please follow the instructions in this
Operator’s Manual.
CAUTION: Do not treat over scars, or
bony areas such as the hips or ribs.
Discomfort and adverse skin effects may
result.
CAUTION: Do not touch or contaminate the
exposed laser fiber at the Applicator’s
connection point. Keep the laser fiber
capped or installed in the system at all
times. Contamination of the laser fiber may
result in damage to the system.
CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments, or
performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure. To avoid
these hazards, the precautions described in
this Operator’s Manual must be observed
when installing, operating, moving or
servicing the system.
CAUTION: The Applicator contains
delicate optical components that may
suffer severe damage if dropped, jarred or
bumped. When not in use, the Applicator
should be securely maintained.
Cynosureis not responsible for damage
caused by dropping, abuse, misuse, or
negligence of the Applicator.
CAUTION: Do not use any organic solvent,
acid or alkali solution on the display or it
may become damaged.
CAUTION: Do not use any optical
instrument to view the light-emitting end of
the Applicator. Injury may result.
CAUTION: Do not operate the Applicator
within 22cm of the eyes. Injury may
result.
CAUTION: Performing maintenance
procedures with the System while it is
powering up, or less than ten (10) minutes
after disconnecting the System, may be
hazardous to the operator and destructive
to the System.
CAUTION: Ensure there are no belts,
tissues, drapes, clothing or any foreign
material between the Frames and the
Applicators, and ensure there is nothing
caught between the Applicators and the
skin. Injury to client may result.
CAUTION: Ensure all the equipment used
for System calibration is calibrated prior
to performing the system diode
calibration. If the calibration standard is
inaccurate or not used correctly, then the
system will also be inaccurate after
calibration.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric
shock, this equipment must only be
connected to a supply mains with
protective earth.
CAUTION: Do not pull the system by the
Applicators or umbilical connections.
Toppling of the system, or damage to the
system, may result.
CAUTION: Do not stack treatments or
treat over the same site during the same
visit. Discomfort and adverse skin effects
may result.
CAUTION: Ensure the Belt has no wear or
tear. Wear or tear to the Belt could result in
improper Applicator to client contact,
diminished treatment results, and client
injury.
WARNING: Care should be taken while
moving or transporting the SculpSure Laser
System, especially on inclines and
thresholds, as system instability can cause
damage to the system and/or possible
injury.
CAUTION: Do not treat over areas of
deep, thick skin folds where the
Applicator may not cool the area
adequately. Discomfort and adverse skin
effects may result.
CAUTION: Do not place the Applicator’s
treatment window directly over the
umbilicus. Discomfort and side effects may
result.
CAUTION: When treating over a tattoo
there is an increased risk of adverse skin
effects and discomfort if the Applicator(s) is
not in full contact with the skin.
