SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Diode Laser and Principal of Operation
Diode lasers are small semiconductor devices consisting of a sandwich of
gallium-aluminum arsenate crystalline materials and end mirrors. The
electrons of the crystal are raised to an excited energy state by an electrical
current. When the electrons return to their original energy state, photons are
emitted. In the laser cavity, these emitted photons are trapped between the
cladding layers and the end mirrors. When a photon passes close to an excited
electron, the electron will be stimulated to emit another photon that is identical
in wavelength and phase to the first. This amplification process continues,
increasing the number of active photons as the photon light beam is reflected
back and forth between the cavity mirrors. One of these mirrors releases a
percentage of the energy hitting its surface resulting in the infrared laser light.
The frequency of the diode laser employed in this system is 810nm. This laser
is intended only for the use of physicians who are trained in operation of laser
photocoagulators. Training in the therapeutic use of lasers is available in
medical courses and seminars offered throughout the world.

GETTING READY
Site Preparation
The E2 Microprobe system has no special electrical or water requirements.
Standard wall voltage can be utilized and no special cooling is required because
a solid state diode laser is used.
Utilities
Electrical: The E2 Microprobe can be configured to operate from a power
source in the range of either 115 volts AC or 240 volts AC, 60/50Hz, 690/720
watts maximum. A standard grounded AC outlet is sufficient. Verify that the
voltage indicated on the fuse holder, below the A/C receptacle, at the back of
the laser console matches the actual line voltage before the instrument is
plugged in.
WARNING
This equipment/system is intended for use by healthcare professionals only. This
equipment/system may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of
nearby equipment. It may be necessary to take mitigation measures, such as
reorienting or relocating the E2 Microprobe or shielding the location. Refer to EMC
Guidance in the Technical Specifications section.
WARNING
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
WARNING
Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.
WARNING
If this equipment is modified, appropriate inspection and testing must be conducted to
ensure continued safe use of the equipment.
Laser Safety
WARNING - Never look directly into the laser aperture (output port) or
fiberoptic when power is applied. Severe eye damage could occur.
As a precaution against accidental exposure to the output beam or its
reflection, all persons in the vicinity during operation of the photocoagulator
must wear laser safety glasses. The only exception is the surgeon if he or she is
looking through a delivery system which is protected by an internal laser filter.

13
Never look directly into the laser beam or its reflection, even with the laser
safety glasses in place. The laser safety glasses must give protection at 810NM.
Note: The Endo Optiks diode laser safety glasses have been tested and are compliant
with EN60207-EN60208 standards. The 810nm wavelength and Optical Density (O.D.)
of 5+ are clearly indicated on the laser safety glasses. Safety glasses that are obtained
from any vendor other than Endo Optiks should be compliant with these standards.
Some multiwavelength glasses will block the aiming beam and laser firing indicator, on
the front panel of the system and should not be used.
Reflection Hazard
Smooth objects will reflect a diode laser beam. Reflection hazards can exist
beyond the laser beam aperture. Regardless of the surface, reflection is a
potential hazard when the laser strikes a nonabsorbent surface such as a
metallic instrument. There are two types of reflections which can occur:
Specular and diffuse.
Specular reflections: Specular reflection occurs when the size of the surface
irregularities is less than the wavelength of the incident radiation. In this
instance the laser beam reflects at the same angle as the angle of incidence.
The danger occurs when a concentrated beam of laser light could accidentally
strike unintended tissue or the eyes causing significant thermal damage.
Diffuse reflections: Diffuse reflection occurs when surface irregularities are
randomly oriented and are much greater than the wavelength of the incident
light. In this instance the reflected laser beam is disorganized and scatters in
many directions though a laser light may still strike an unintended target
surface. But the power density will be reduced to a degree that will cause
minimal, if any, thermal effect.
Tissue Protection
WARNING - Never place your hand or other objects in the pathway of the
laser beam. Severe burns could occur.
Explosion Hazard
WARNING - Never operate the laser in the presence of flammable
anesthetics. An explosion and fire could occur.
Do not use the laser in the presence of flammables or explosives such as volatile
anesthetics, alcohol, certain surgical preparation solutions and other such
substances.
The E2 MicroProbe laser should be disabled whenever the system is not
actually in use during treatment of a patient. To safely disable the laser the
key should be removed from the rear panel of the system. This is to prevent
accidental laser discharge if the Foot Pedal is inadvertently depressed

14
GETTING READY
Vapor Plume
CAUTION: Laser plume may contain viable tissue particulates; however the
endoscope is fired in a closed environment in both the anterior and
posterior segments of the eye so the plume does not escape into the
atmosphere. There are no possible hazards associated with the laser
plume.
Exposure Protection from the Aiming Beam Laser
CAUTION: The maximum safe power that can be visualized indefinitely by the
retina is 0.39 microwatts (Class 1). The diode laser that produces the red
aiming beam is a Class 3R laser, producing up to 1,500 microwatts. Direct
visualization of Class 3R laser radiation by a patient during treatment has not
been shown to be safe. To protect the patient from possible retinal damage use
the lowest practical aiming beam intensity during treatment. The diode laser
produces a red diode aiming beam with power variable from barely visible to 1.5
milliwatts maximum. The safe (Class 1) exposure duration limit at maximum
power level of 1.5 milliwatts is 0.047 seconds.

Safety Features
Key Lock Switch: The laser can be turned on only with the proper key to close
the master switch. The key cannot be removed in the On position and the laser
will operate only when the key is in place. When the Key Switch is rotated to
the On position, power is available to the instrument. For safety purposes, the
key should be removed when the laser is not being used.
Enable Function: Even when the E2 MicroProbe is activated by turning the
key on, the Foot Pedal will not fire the laser. The laser cannot be fired unless
the ENABLE control is pressed on. This control takes the laser out of the

15
STANDBY mode and allows laser firing by footswitch activation. This safety
feature requires a deliberate second action by the Operator of the laser prior to
its being fired.
Protective Housing: The diode laser has a protective housing which prevents
unattended human access to laser radiation above safe limits. The user shall
not perform maintenance or service operations inside the protective covers.
This housing is to be opened only by an Endo Optiks Service Representatives or
an Endo Optiks certified technician.
Protective Jacketing: The laser fiber inside the endoscope is protected by
jacketing. In the event that the laser fiber breaks, the jacket protects the user
from laser radiation emission.
Viewing Optics: When employing the laser endoscope in the Video mode, direct
viewing of the laser and ocular tissues is not an issue, because the laser energy
cannot be emitted through the video display.
Room Door Interlock: The E2 MicroProbe will be switched into standby mode
when the treatment room door is opened during use.
System Labels: Appropriate warning labels have been mounted in specified
locations on the instrument to indicate conditions under which the user could
be subjected to laser radiation.
STOP: Depressing the STOP (the Big Red Button) will immediately disable the
laser and reset all the treatment parameters to zero. The E2 MicroProbe will
be in the stand-by mode with the power on.
WARNING
It is not intended that the user perform any maintenance or service
operations inside the protective housing of the diode laser. All internal
adjustments, cleaning, maintenance, and servicing shall be performed only
by an Endo Optiks Service Representative or an Endo Optiks certified
technician.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

16
CLEANING AND STERILIZATION
Cleaning the Laser Console
To clean the external surface of the Laser Console, wipe using a cloth dampened
with a noncaustic cleaning solution such as soap and water, isopropyl alcohol
or a "hospital grade" disinfectant. Do not spray or put cleaning agents directly
on the system. Dry with a clean, dry cloth or allow to air dry.
Cleaning the Laser Connector
Before connecting an endoscope to the system, clean the tip of the Laser
Connector with alcohol and lens cleaning tissue. Moisten the lens tissue with
alcohol and gently wipe it once across the tip of the Laser Connector.
Cleaning the Video Adapter
Before connecting an endoscope to the system, clean the tip of the Video
Connector with alcohol and lens cleaning tissue. Moisten the lens tissue with
alcohol and gently wipe it once across the tip of the Laser Connector. This will
prolong the life of the endoscope and maximize image quality.
Clean the Video Adapter with a lens cleaning tissue. Do not use alcohol for this
may harm the laser filter that is built into the Video Adapter.
Endoscope and Probe Cleaning and Sterilization
These devices are delivered non-sterile and are designed to be reusable in
accordance with the constraints described in the information supplied. The
Endoscope should be sterilized before each use. If the endoscope is sterilized
but not cleaned after each use, you will almost certainly destroy the tip of the
endoscope the next time you fire the laser.
FULL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING AND STERILIZATION ARE PROVIDED
WITH EACH ENDOSCOPE OR PROBE.

17
