operator or support staff.
1. By law, the evice may only be sol to or on behalf of a entist.
2. The energy emitte by the laser light excee s the tolerance threshol of the eye an can therefore lea to
irreversible amage to the eye. The prescribe safety glasses must be worn by all persons in the treatment room in
or er to prevent eye amage. The pilot laser (target beam) is automatically switche on when an application
program is starte . Do not look into the beam.
3. Safety glasses with filter level 5 or higher at 808 nm bearing the CE marking in accor ance with EN207:1998 must
be worn; these are available from elexxion AG with the name "claros protect". The separate instructions for use for
the laser safety glasses must be observe when using laser safety glasses.
4. The laser anger zone (referre to as the 'treatment room' in the following) is the entire area locate within the
range of the laser beam. Warning! As reflections from instruments an equipment intro uce into the beam path are
possible, the laser anger zone is only elimite by obstacles aroun the laser system that are not transparent with
regar to laser ra iation (e.g. walls, ceiling, floor, close oors) . An NOHD value ( istance from which the laser can
be observe safely) is not given ue to the high mobility of the laser aperture. The entire room in which the laser is
operate must be treate as the laser protection area.
5. The room in which the evice is operate must be equippe in accor ance with the BGV B2 acci ent prevention
regulations. The electrical installation must comply with DIN VDE 0100 Part 710. This is the responsibility of the
operator or a laser safety officer appointe by the operator. The BGV B2 acci ent prevention regulations can be
obtaine from elexxion AG upon request.
6. The operator of the laser system must ensure that the treatment room is clearly marke an that nobo y enters
the treatment room without safety glasses (see item 2) while the laser is being use .

22. Servicing an maintenance must be performe by authorise specialist personnel only. A technical safety
inspection must be performe on the laser system at least once a year to maintain safe operation of the system an
to check its performance parameters. (see Section 7.3).
23. The evice must be isconnecte from the charger before cleaning/ isinfecting.
24. If the system is amage or there are signs that the system is not working properly, operation must be
suspen e imme iately an the manufacturer notifie , as there may be the risk that laser ra iation coul be emitte
at unforeseeable parts of the evice. The therapeutic effect is also no longer ensure .
25. The laser system must not be use to remove tooth har tissue as this can lea to warming of the tooth tissue
an amage to the ental pulp.
26. When using the surgery programs, the following rule applies: "Start with the lowest power possible an then
increase it later if necessary".
2.2 Warning notices – system ha ard
If the following instructions are ignored or not followed correctly, this may result in damage to the system. It may
not be possible to continue with ongoing treatment or this may only be possible with some delay.
27. Please ensure that the evice is place in a secure an stable position on the stan supplie .
28. If the evice is brought from a col environment into a warm environment, please wait a sufficient amount of
time (at least 30 minutes) until the evice has reache the ambient temperature before switching it on.
29. Please stop using application fibers if there is less than 1 mm of fiber left (visual check before use).
30. Please han le applicators with care an o not squeeze, twist or apply a heavy loa on them.
31. The flexibility of the fibers is limite . Pressing, ben ing, stretching or compressing the fibers too heavily can cause
them to break.
32. Applicators must not be replace while the evice is rea y for use an a program activate , as the emission
switch may be activate by acci ent.
33. The battery may only be replace by authorise elexxion AG service personnel. Replacing the battery yourself
may leave the evice in a angerous con ition. Caution: risk of fire an explosion!
2.3 Warning notices – additional information
Refers to important and useful additional information. If this information is ignored, this may result in a device
malfunction such as reduced power output or complete loss of function.
34. Do not use pointe objects to operate the membrane keypa .
35. If the intensity of the pilot beam is visibly re uce , a re uction in power output is to be expecte , which will
result in the loss of or a re uction in the therapeutic effect. elexxion AG's service centre shoul be contacte in this
event.
36. The claros pico system is equippe with high-precision optics in the han piece. Foreign bo ies such as ust an
moisture can therefore result in a re uction in power output (loss of or re uction in therapeutic effect). For this
reason, a protective cap or applicator must be place on the laser aperture when cleaning the han piece. We also
recommen using a protective cap or applicator when the laser is not in use in or er to prevent penetration of ust.
37. The claros pico system complies with applicable electromagnetic compatibility regulations, both with regar to
backgroun ra iation interference an the emission of electromagnetic interference. However, it is strongly
recommen e that no strong electromagnetic transmitters such as mobile phones, ra io remote controls, etc. be
use in the vicinity of the laser system. If an electromagnetic effect / interference is suspecte , the system may no
longer be operate until the cause is etermine an reme ie . Non-compliance may result in risks uring use.

3 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
3.1 General information
claros pico is a class A evice in accor ance with CISPR 11 an is inten e for use by me ical specialists only. claros
pico is inten e for use in settings other than resi ential settings; the typical electromagnetic environment is that of a
hospital, clinic or octor's surgery.
3.2 Installation and operation
Electronic evices are sensitive to electrostatic ischarge. In or er to prevent malfunctions in the claros pico system,
electrostatic charges create by the operator shoul be prevente by means of ESD protective measures (use of anti-
static materials).
In or er to prevent isruptions ue to electrostatic ischarges, the floors shoul be ma e of woo or concrete or
covere with ceramic tiles. If the floor is covere with synthetic materials, the relative humi ity must be no lower than
40%.
Operators shoul be familiar with the basic physical processes behin electrostatic charges an how to prevent them.
The claros pico system uses RF energy for its own operation only. The amount of ra io frequency interference emitte
is therefore very low an is unlikely to isturb other evices being operate in the vicinity. Nevertheless, it shoul be
note that simultaneous operation of the claros pico system together with other evices may result in interference in
the claros pico system or other evices. Care shoul therefore be taken to ensure that the claros pico system is not
positione irectly next to or above another electronic evice.
If it is impossible to avoi positioning the claros pico system in the imme iate vicinity of analogue me ical
measurement evices, the user of these measurement evices must be ma e aware that evice results shoul be
observe in or er to monitor inten e evice use in the position selecte .

6.4 Handling handpieces and fibers
6.4.1 ergoflex plus
6.4.1.1 Introducing the application fibers
The claros pico system is fitte with an innovative application system, which keeps subsequent costs as low as
possible an ensures a high level of hygiene capability at the same time.
Depen ing on the iameter of the application fibers, various soft metal tips must be attache before intro ucing the
application fibers:
Purple for 200 µm/300 µm fibers Green for 400 µm/600 µm fibers
Push application fibers carefully into the han piece front part from behin as far they will go. (Caution: glass fibres
can break)

After this, place the han piece front part centrally on the rear han piece part. Then press both parts together in the
han piece longitu inal irection until the interlock ring can be hear to engage.
The fiber can be remove after use. (To o so, ensure that the soft metal tip has been bent straight again or remove
beforehan .) To remove the han piece front part, the interlock ring must be pulle to the rear. The han piece front
part can now be remove .
Carefully pull the fiber out of the han piece front part an have it be isinfecte .
The fibers can be change uring operation with the evice switche on. Fibres must not be replace uring laser
emission un er any circumstances!
Fibers have a limite service life epen ing on the power output use an the fibre iameter. Fibres can typically be
use up to 15 times. Disinfecte fibers can be ispose of in househol waste.
