1.0 CLEAR + BRILLIANT Laser System Overview
CLEAR + BRILLIANT is a non-ablative laser designed for use in dermatological
procedures. This device is part of the family of Solta Medical products utilizing
the Fractional Photothermolysis principle. This device consists of a Console and
a base handpiece (1440 nm) with the option of purchasing additional add-on
handpieces. Currently, the Perméa (1927 nm) handpiece is available.
The 1440 nm handpiece is an infrared diode laser with a wavelength of 1440 ±20
nm. The laser coagulates the epidermis and dermis with up to 0.4 mm depth of
penetration.
The 1927 nm handpiece is an infrared diode laser with a wavelength of 1927±20
nm. The laser coagulates the epidermis and dermis with up to 0.17 mm depth of
penetration.
The solid-state design of CLEAR + BRILLIANT is designed with limited
maintenance and minimal utilities requirements. The output of the laser is
focused into the skin using lenses contained within the handpiece. Computer
controlled motors within the handpiece and the software system architecture
direct the laser system to deliver focused spots and an evenly spaced treatment
pattern. These advanced features allow for precisely controlled delivery of the
fractional laser treatment.
This manual is intended to help you get the most from your system as you make
CLEAR + BRILLIANT an integral part of the treatments you provide. It is our
intention that this information assists the operator in successful use of this
product. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact your
local Solta Customer Service representative.
1.1 Indications for use
The CLEAR + BRILLIANT Laser System is indicated for use in dermatological
procedures requiring the coagulation of soft tissue, as well as for general skin
resurfacing procedures.
1.2 Technical Specifications

2.0 Features of the CLEAR + BRILLIANT Laser System
The CLEAR + BRILLIANT Laser System has a laser source in the handpiece.
The console is electrically connected to the facility power source. Laser energy
produced by the unit is delivered to the tissue through the handpiece. Contact
with the tissue is maintained by removable, disposable contact treatment tips
which attach to the handpiece.
Refer to the CLEAR + BRILLIANT® Laser System Operator Manual For 1440 nm
and Perméa™ (1927 nm) Handpieces, for device overview and operation.
The features of CLEAR + BRILLIANT are described below.
2.1 Front View of the CLEAR + BRILLIANT Laser System Console
The features of the CLEAR + BRILLIANT Laser System console include:
 On / Off Button: Turns the laser system on and off. The device should
always remain in the Off position when not in use to avoid unauthorized use
by untrained personnel and the possibility of injury or fire.
 Display: The display serves as the information interface for CLEAR +
BRILLIANT. It displays the information associated with the operating
conditions, including: Laser On / Off, system status, progress and completion
of the self-test, step-by-step instructions for treatment procedures, general
messages and error messages.
 Handpiece and Handpiece Cable: The cable connects the handpiece to the
display. Ensure that there are no kinks in the cable. If a handpiece is
connected to the display, insure the laser head is always resting in the cradle
when not in use.
 ATTENTION! THE CONSOLE MUST BE TURNED OFF PRIOR TO
CHANGING FROM ONE HANDPIECE TO THE OTHER AND THEN
TURNED ON ONCE DESIRED HANDPIECE IS PROPERLY CONNECTED
TO THE CONSOLE. FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL RESULT IN
IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE HANDPIECE.
 Handpiece Cradle and Self-Test Port: The handpiece (laser) should always
be resting in the cradle when not in use. The cradle also serves as the self-
test port during initialization of the system. The laser self-test procedure is
automatically controlled by the software.
 Ensure the console is placed on a flat and steady surface to prevent
movement or tipping.

Solta C+B Service Manual
30469 Rev E Page 6
2.2 Back View of the System Console
The back view of the system includes:
• Power Input: A power cord connects the system to the electrical outlet. The
power input on the back of the console is a standard IEC60320 type C14
male connector (within the U.S.), or a hospital grade, grounded power cord.
• E-Stop Button: Located on the right side of the console (if viewing from the
front). Press this button during an emergency to stop the laser treatment
beam. To restart, twist the button and release it from the latched OFF
position.
• Service Key: Provides service access to the system. For service use only.
• Interlock: Access to the remote door interlock is through this plug and
socket. The system is delivered with this plug shorted internally. Do not
connect other power supplies to this interlock.
• Serial Port: For service and maintenance use only.
• Handpiece Connector: The handpiece connector connects the handpiece
and handpiece cable to the system console. The cable plugs into the
connector. Optionally the Handpiece Extension Cable can plug into this
connector so that the connection and be more easily accessed when
interchanging the 1440 and 1927 handpieces. NOTE: the green dot on the
handpiece connector or extension cable must be visible to the user (i.e.
facing away from the rear of the C+B console) when connecting to the rear of
the console. Failure to properly align the handpiece or extension cable can
result in damage to the handpiece.
• USB and Ethernet Ports: For external communication and maintenance
purposes.

Solta C+B Service Manual
30469 Rev E Page 7
• Fuse: To remove and/or install the replaceable fuse in the back panel of the
system console, press on the center tab to release the fuse enclosure, pull up
gently and replace the fuse. Place the new fuse back into the pocket until is
snaps into place.

Solta C+B Service Manual
30469 Rev E Page 8
2.3 Handpiece with Treatment Tip
The handpiece delivers the laser energy to the surface of the skin through the
laser aperture, only if the required treatment tip is in place. The activation and
selector buttons (for low, medium, or high treatment settings) and light indicators
can be found on the top side of the handpiece.
ATTENTION! THE CONSOLE MUST BE TURNED OFF PRIOR TO
CHANGING FROM ONE HANDPIECE TO THE OTHER AND THEN
TURNED ON ONCE DESIRED HANDPIECE IS PROPERLY
CONNECTED TO THE CONSOLE. FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL
RESULT IN IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE HANDPIECE.
The handpiece should always be resting in the handpiece cradle when not in
use.

Solta C+B Service Manual
30469 Rev E Page 9
2.4 System with Extender Cable
The handpiece connector connects
the handpiece and handpiece cable
to the system console. The cable
plugs into the connector. Optionally
the Handpiece Extension Cable (PN
44863, Cable, Assembly,
Handpiece, Extension, C+B) can
plug into this connector so that the
connection and be more easily
accessed when interchanging the
1440 and 1927 handpieces.
NOTE: the green dot on the
handpiece connector or extension
cable must be visible to the user (i.e.
facing away from the rear of the C+B
console) when connecting to the
rear of the console. Also, the green
dots on the handpiece extension
cable and handpiece connector must
align. Failure to properly align the
handpiece or extension cable can
result in damage to the handpiece.
Damage typically results in
“treatment tip not detected” message
and requires replacement of the HP
controller PCBA (Section 5.16) and
recalibration (Section 6.0).
NOTE: The C+B system MUST be turned off and wait 30 seconds to allow
residual power to dissipate when switching between the 1440 and 1927
handpieces. Failure to turn off power before swapping handpieces can result in
damage to the handpiece. Damage typically results in E129 message and
requires laser recalibration (Section 6.0).
2.5 Treatment Tip
A disposable treatment tip attaches to the distal portion of the handpiece and
MUST be in place prior to any treatment. The system detects contact between
the tip and the skin and translates handpiece motion into velocity information.
The treatment tips are biocompatible in accordance with ISO 10993 for contact
with skin.
The treatment tip will latch mechanically and magnetically when properly
positioned and will remain latched throughout treatment, with appropriate
handling.
Each treatment tip will have a tip life of one treatment. Treatment tips
are disposable.
