PLUS STM 3W DIODE LASER SYSTEM
WITHOUT FIRST READING AND UNDERSTANDING ALL LASER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
For complete information on using the Sapphire Plus STM 3W Diode Laser and performing STM 3W Diode
Laser procedures, refer to the Sapphire Plus STM 3W Diode Laser Instructions for Use documentation.
Warning: Laser Safety Eye Protection MUST BE WORN by the Operator, Patient, Assistant,
and anyone present when the laser is activated. Eye Protection must conform to Specification
DIN EN207 Annex II of the Directive 89/686/EEC with optical density in 800nm-818nm of
OD 4+ such as NoIR Laser Company filter model DII.
The STM 3W Diode Laser offers two operation modes: CW (CONTINUOUS WAVE) and PULSE (4Hz). The
following instructions will describe how to control both.
Remove the black adapter insert (if present) from the light guide port of the Sapphire Plus System and insert the
STM 3W Diode Laser Control Module into the light guide port. Insert the Sapphire Plus STM key into the
Sapphire Plus STM Diode Laser unit and turn it to the “ON” position. Plug the STM 3W Diode Laser handpiece
into the Light Guide Port on the Laser Unit. When the STM 3W Diode Laser handpiece is attached to the STM
3W Diode Laser unit, the auto-detect feature will activate the unit and cause the display to light. The unit will then
be in STAND-BY status.
CHARGE BATTERY BEFORE USING:
Upon receipt, install the Sapphire Plus
Soft Tissue Management (STM) control
module into the Sapphire Plus light
source. Turn the power switch of the
Sapphire Plus light source ON. For a
more rapid charge, use the auxiliary
power supply provided with the Sapphire
Plus STM system. Plug the auxiliary power
supply into an AC outlet and insert the
plug into the STM control module.
NOTE: All Sapphire plus attachments can be plugged into the Sapphire Plus when the STM control panel is
installed. For use of non-Laser attachments, the key must be turned to the “OFF” position.
With the key in the “ON” position and the STM 3W Diode Laser handpiece attached, the unit defaults to the
Continuous Wave (CW) mode and the indicator light next to CW on the control panel turns on. The power
setting will default to 0.8 Watts and will be displayed in the LASER POWER window.
NOTE: A flashing red “READY” indicator light and blank LASER POWER window indicate that additional power
is required and that the STM 3W Diode Laser auxiliary power supply must be attached to the jack on the side of
the STM Control Unit.
Power can be adjusted by using the UP and DOWN arrow keys to increase (up) or decrease (down) the power.
Settings may not be changed when the laser working beam is emitting.
