ISO14971 (2012)
2.2 Warnings and Precautions

The following warnings and precautions apply to the LightLas 532 Laser System and
should be observed by all users at all time:
DO NOT look directly into the laser beam or at laser reflections since direct
and reflected laser light from the laser aperture can cause permanent eye
injury.
DO NOT operate the laser unless observers are using the correct protective
eyewear. The protective eyewear must have an optical density of OD4 or
more at 532 nanometers wavelength. This information must be present on
the eyewear.
DO NOT use objects that can readily reflect light in the vicinity of the laser
beam to avoid reflecting the beam in a hazardous manner.
DO NOT fire the Laser directly onto flammable agents or gasses as the
focused laser beam may cause ignition. There is no AP/ APG protection.
DO NOT try to service or repair the laser other than what is included in this
manual. Service should only be performed by an authorized and trained
agent of the manufacturer.
DO NOT fire the laser on a patient without first checking the operation of the
laser and verifying the optical alignment of the treatment Laser beam.
ALWAYS use the lowest power settings possible when treating a patient
with the laser and start the treatment with minimum level of power.
ALWAYS set the correct spot size and/or use the most appropriate one for
the power setting and type of procedure that is to be performed.
DO NOT put the laser into TREAT mode until ready to operate on the
patient.
DO NOT inhale any laser plume generated by the Laser during surgery.
Personnel should take an extreme measured precaution, such as wearing
surgical masks or use plume evacuation systems when a treatment is
undergoing. Caution - Laser plume may contain viable tissue particulates.
ALWAYS take particular care of the optical fibers that connect the Laser
Delivery Units to the Console to make sure they do not get damaged.

Additional clinical warnings may be found in Section 6.1.4 of this Manual.
ALWAYS try to let the laser have its own or dedicated power outlet.
Additional items may be plugged in a Multiple Portable Socket Outlet, which
may be plugged into an additional outlet.
DO NOT use the Laser Console if the ambient temperature is outside the
range of 20 to 35C. This temperature range is the rated operating
temperature limits where the Laser system can be guaranteed to operate
without any interruptions to normal use. Outside this range of temperature
it is possible that the Laser will generate an error condition where the word
hold is displayed and the system goes to Standby until the internal
temperature returns to within normal limits then the Laser can be used again
but the error condition may reoccur unless the rated temperature comes
within limits.
2.3 Optical Hazards

Guidance for the safe use of Lasers and Laser systems is found in the standard
IEC60825-1, the USA 21CFR 1040.10, 1040.11 and ANSI Z136.1 - 1986.
During normal operation of the LightLas 532 the operator is protected from Laser
hazards by built in optical absorption Safety Filters. All other personnel in the area
should wear protective eyewear to eliminate the risk of eye injury occurring.
The optical density (OD) of eye protection must be greater than or equal to 4 and the
wavelength 532nm range is also specified on it. It is shown in the following format:
OD4+ @ 532nm
Otherwise, the safety glasses are NOT suitable for this purpose of eye protection.
Safety Glasses are required to have the CE mark applied if used in the EU.
The LightLas 532 uses a Class II Laser Diode Aiming beam. Its wavelength range from
635 to 650 nanometers (nm) and the maximum power output is set at the factory to
be less than 1mW delivered to the patients cornea. However it is always
recommended to use the lowest aiming beam intensity during treatments.
The LightLas 532 Photocoagulator Laser has been classified as a Class 4 and its
classification specified accordingly to the above quoted standards. This classification
is also based on the Accessible Emission Limits (AEL) as calculated according to the
standards.
2.3.1 Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD)

The Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD) is the distance between the equipment

and a persons eye for which the optical power, from the equipment, entering the
dilated pupil of the person will be less than or equal to the Maximum Permissible
Exposure (MPE) as specified in the standards (i.e. less than a Class 1 Laser Output).
The calculated NOHD for the LightLas 532 with different Laser Delivery Units is:
5 meters at maximum power settings for the Endoprobes
18 meters at maximum power settings and 1000m spot size for Slitlamp Delivery
Units
20 meters at maximum power settings for LIO
Therefore when the laser is in operation, all persons that are closer than these
distances to the equipment should be wearing eye protection.
Patients, where possible, should have the untreated eye covered or protected from
laser reflections.
2.3.2 Avoid Exposure to Laser beams

Reassembly or maintenance of the laser system should only be performed by
authorized and trained personnel. The external housing of the laser system should
never be removed otherwise you or standby observers could be exposed to
dangerous levels of laser radiation and potentially lethal electrical voltages.
Eye safety filters are designed to protect physicians eyes from back scattered laser
beams must always be used. They are integrated into the Slitlamp and LIO Delivery
Units. When using the endoprobes a separate filter that attaches to the operating
microscope must be used.
For other personnel that may be exposed to reflections or backscatter they must
wear safety glasses or goggles. In any case NEVER look directly at the treatment
laser beam as severe eye injury is likely. This means avoid looking into the aperture of
any of the laser delivery units or the console.
2.4 Electrical Hazards

The Lightlas 532 Photocoagulator laser has been designed to apply the International
Standards for Medical Equipment. The laser system is designed to operate with three
terminal prongs AC voltage where the third prong pin is the earth-grounded prong.
Warning: It is not safe to operate the Lightlas 532 photocoagulator laser without an
earth-grounded receptacle. There is possible risk of electric shock.
No cover or housing need to be removed by the operator or user. Only the
authorized and trained service or agent can remove the cover or housing assembly

since there is possible of exposing laser radiation and high current or voltages.
2.5 Product Labeling

All the labels on the LightLas 532 comply with the requirements of the various
regulatory standards referred to previously.

Section 4 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
4.1 General Description
The LightLas 532 Green Laser is an Ophthalmic Laser suitable for performing the
following clinical procedures:
Retinal Photocoagulation
Pan Retinal Photocoagulation
Endo photocoagulation
Macular Treatments
Laser Trabeculoplasty
The LightLas 532 Laser system has a wavelength of 532nm, which is in the visible
spectrum and is a green light. A red aiming beam is used to position the treatment
green light beam prior to delivery.
The word LASER is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of
Radiation. The light from a laser has particular characteristics, which makes it a
valuable tool for medical applications.
The beam from a laser is collimated which means that the beam does not
diverge and can maintain a constant diameter over a long distance. This
means that the Laser beam can be focused to a very small spot with high
energy and power densities.
The beam is Monochromatic, which means that it is a single wavelength
beam and therefore the effects of the beam on tissue are very predictable
and reproducible.
The light waves are coherent which means they are in phase with each
other and do not interfere and generate losses in energy.
The LightLas 532 system consists of a laser console where the green laser is housed
along with the electronic control system and power supplies and accompanies along
with various Laser Delivery Units (LDUs). These LDUs include:
Slitlamp Integrated into CSO model SL980
Slitlamp Attachment for CSO model SL990 and other Haag Streit clones.
Slitlamp Attachment for Zeiss model SL30 Slitlamp
Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscope (LIO) using a Keeler II
Endo photocoagulation hand pieces (Endoprobes)
When using these LDUs a microscope Doctor Safety Filter (DSF) is required to
protect the doctor from unexpected reflections causing eye injury during the
treatments. The DSF is mounted in the beam path of the microscope.

All the normal functions of a Slitlamp are available to the operator when using the
LightLas 532 on a Slitlamp unit and when the doctor is using the LIO they will use a
Contact Lens of either 20D or 28D.
On the laser console there is a remote control module that the doctor can remove
from the top of the console and position it close to the treatment location so as to
have easy access to the laser displays and controls. This remote control module is
connected to the laser console by a flexible cable that is coiled up and sits in the
recess area on the top of the laser console.
The doctor must first confirm the patient meets the treatment requirements of the
indications and contraindications before proceeding with any treatment. Typically
the doctors or their assistant will verify that the laser and delivery unit are operating
correctly before positioning the patient in the Chinrest are for avoiding any patient
inconvenience. This checking includes the laser output and alignment.
The doctor must set the laser power and pulse interval whenever the System is
turned on. It is the responsibility of the doctor to set acceptable power levels and
pulse intervals. It is recommended that always start with a lower power and shorter
pulse interval to reduce any risk of unintended injury to the patient. By default
setting the laser system, the power is set to 0mW, the pulse duration is set to 0.02
seconds and the pulse interval is set to One which means one shot per requested
only. These settings can be altered and saved by the operators or doctors
preference.
Conversely, the doctor can select a repeat pulse mode where the laser is pulsed
repetitively according to the doctors requirements. However, even in this mode, the
laser is always under the control of the doctors the footswitch, which means that
whenever the footswitch is released, there will be no laser output.
The following paragraphs give a general description of the operation of the Laser
System
The laser system console generates a controlled beam of the 532nm wavelength light
that is focused to a small spot so that it can be delivered into an optical fiber that
then connects to one of the Delivery units. The Slitlamp LDUs optical fiber has a
diameter of 200m and is 2 meters long and 3 meters long for the LIO. Special care
must be taken with the fibers not to damage the jacket as this may create extra
losses and may allow the laser beam to be transmitted at the damaged place along
the fiber. Therefore the fiber should be kept off the floor and away from sharp edges.
The 532nm wavelength green laser light is primarily used as a source of energy to
heat the tissue and thereby cause photocoagulation. The laser beam is directly
applied to the treated tissue and absorbed by the melanin pigment within the retinal
pigment epithelium and the choroid. This absorption converts the light energy into

heat energy which raises the temperature of the tissue being treated producing
thermal coagulation of the protein. The green laser beam is readily transmitted
through the cornea, lens, and vitreous regions of the eye. If the patients eye does
not allow for good transmission or introduces some dispersion of the beam then the
patient is not suitable for this type of laser treatment. Increasing the laser power and
pulse duration will generate more heat and therefore the coagulative effect will be
greater.
If the power or duration of exposure is too high then the surrounding tissue may
sustain some damage. Therefore, a careful selection of the power and pulse
duration is essential to a successful treatment.
Different Types of LDU

For the Slitlamp Delivery Units and LIO, the laser beam is delivered into the patients
eye as a focused spot that can be positioned accurately by the doctor to the
treatment site. When using the LIO the laser beam is delivered through a Contact
Lens that is held by the doctor and assists in positioning the laser beam on the site
and setting the desired spot size. For the Slitlamp delivery unit the spot size at the
treatment site is adjustable and set by the doctor according to the type of treatment
to be used. The spot size selector is located on the delivery unit attached to the
Slitlamp and can be set from 50m to 1000m in a continuous adjustment for the
Integrated SL980 design. As for Attachment LDU, it can be selected from 50m to
500m.
When using the Endoprobes, the doctor will use an Operating Microscope to view
the patients eye. These probes are inserted into the eye and used in very close
proximity to the treatment site (almost in contact). The Endoprobes are sterile
devices intended for direct patient contact and are a purchased item with a sterility
guarantee.
For each LDU, a Delivery Key is used by the laser console as a means of
determining which type of LDU is connected. The Delivery Key is required because
each type of LDU has a different amount of loss through the optical elements and
therefore the output power factor calibration will be different for each. The
Endoprobes have the least loss of all the LDUs because the only losses are through
the fiber itself and in the coupling of the laser beam into the fiber. The LIO has more
loss than the Endoprobes as it has a collimating system, mirror, and focusing lens for
the laser beam to be transmitted through and all of these have some contributing
losses. The least efficient of the LDUs is the Slitlamp delivery unit. There are many
optics in this unit due to the spot size adjustment zoom system so the losses are the
greatest. Also when the small spot sizes are selected there may be some aperture of
the beam that contributes to the losses.

When setting up the laser unit for the operation, the correct type of Laser Delivery
Unit must be connected along with the Delivery Key that accompanies it. If no
Delivery Key is inserted then the warning message Delivery Key Not Found on the
LCD screen panel and system will wait for correction or reinserted before normal
console operation resume.
The Delivery Key is also an additional safety feature that prevents unauthorized use
of the laser unit. It is attached to the fiber for each of the LDUs to eliminate any risk
of inserting the wrong Delivery Key. It is an essential requirement in order to ensure
that the correct calibrated power level is delivered to the patient.
The following paragraphs describe the actual operation of the system
The system consists of two major parts: the console and the LCD touch control panel
integrated with computer platform
Inside the Laser Console there are several operating components that put together
to provide the output Laser beam such as:
Laser Diode (808nm)
Laser Cavity and optics system
Thermal Electric Coolers and Driver units
Electronic Microprocessor control system
Power supply
First of all, main source power must be connected to the laser console system before
the system is enabled to function accordingly. Secondly, a blue LED backlight power
switch, located at the bottom of the screen (refer to fig. 4.3), on the LCD control
panel display needed to be enabled and wait for system software to boot up before
proceed to the next procedure (refer to fig. 4.1 - 4.2). Once the software is properly
boot up, then the key-switch is inserted and turned to the ON position (with the
Emergency switch in the out or OFF position). And then the console system
microprocessor controller will perform some internal checks to verify that the
machine is functioning as it should be. Few warning messages such as, "BBF
Temperature Not Ready", "LBO Temperature Not Ready" ...etc. will display on the
LCD when the console power is ON. This process usually takes less than few
seconds. If the temperature setting up process time is out of specification (> 5mins),
there will be an error code shown on the LCD display (for more detailed refer to
troubleshooting section of this manual).

Figure 4.1 System software start up screen shot
Figure 4.2 System software boot up ok and system is "Standby" mode

All operating conditions and switches are shown on the LCD control panel. The LCD
control panel display consists of:
Laser Power
Laser Power Pulse Duration
Pulse Interval
Accumulated number of pulses
The type of LDU connected
Aiming intensity
Mode of operation
SP Mode Selection
Customized treatment configuration
Query or Help functionality
The mode of operation is an important function display because when the laser is
turned ON STANDBY mode is automatically selected, which prevents any accidental
firing of the LightLas 532 Laser System with LCD panel. In STANDBY mode, the
footswitch is disabled and the shutter module blocker will obstruct the beam path is
closed.
Only Standby button switch is toggled, the system will be in treat mode. Then the
footswitch and shutter are now enabled and the aiming beam is turned on. If the
footswitch is pressed, the Green laser beam will be delivered into the fiber. The
system will turn back to STANDBY mode in the following situations:
No controls are operated for 10 minutes
Any warning or error condition occurs
Prior to activate the Treat mode, it is recommended that all operating conditions are
to be set correctly such as patient positioning, power selection, pulses duration,
interval duration, aiming beam intensity, spot size and illumination intensity. This will
prevent the likelihood of accidental firing of the Green laser or unintentional delivery
during the set up stages.
Output power distribution can fine tune through an up/down arrow switch button on
the LCD touch control panel. The power setting will remain the same whenever the
power is on which means the default setting screen will be primary unless it is
replaced by another setting. The power can be adjusted from 50 to 2000 mWatts.
The pulse duration can be adjusted from 0.01 secs to 3.0 secs. by pressing the action
key switch buttons on the LCD touch control panel. Similarly, the Repeat Interval

can be set from 0.01 to 3.0s by using the press action switches located directly below
the Repeat Interval display. If the duration is adjusted beyond 3.0 seconds, the
Pulse Duration display will show CW and the laser output will be continuous for
as long as the foot switch is pressed down. If the interval is adjusted beyond 3.0
seconds, the Repeat Interval display will show One and the foot switch will need
to be pressed every time the doctor wishes to fire the laser.
By default setting or when the laser is powered on for the first time, the pulse
duration is 0.02 seconds and the repeat interval is set to One. The laser output
power is set to 0mW. These initial values can be changed by selecting the desired
settings and by using the saving function button on the screen and key in the
customized name. You may retrieve this setting by reopen the file folder.
Inside the Laser System there is a shutter module that completely blocks the beam
path at all times except when the system is in the Treat mode and footswitch is
activated. The microprocessor constantly monitors the electronic sensors position
and their integrity of the shutter at all times. Whenever the system boots up, it will
check for the shutter position to validate if the shutter is engaged and functioned.
The shutter remains closed until doctor initialized the Treat mode. This ensures that
the patient is protected in the case of a misfire. When the footswitch is pressed the
microprocessor will carry out various checks on the status of the laser system
including the correct position of the shutter. After the microprocessor finishes the
system checking, then the shutter will await to be opened or activated. If this is OK
then the Laser Diode will be turned on for the selected pulse duration. There is a
closed loop control system to ensure a stable output pulse. The footswitch must be
released in order for next requested to be operated again. The position of the
shutter will continuously be checked during all operating modes.
A sum of the total delivered Laser pulses is shown on the LCD Control panel located
near the bottom right. A reset button switch is located next to the display button.
You may clear the setting by pressing this button will reset the value.
In the case of an emergency, the Red Emergency Switch can be pushed in and locked
down to cut off all power. Normally power can be turned off by using the key switch.
In order to prevent unauthorized persons from operating the system, the key should
not be left in the keyhole when the Laser System is not in use.
The software shutdown is processed through a push button on the LCD panel
located near the left bottom of screen (refer to figure 4.3). The system will remain
operation unless users requested.
The user/doctor is expected to be trained and have knowledge in the intended use
and application of the Green laser for performing any surgery. In addition, it would
be expected to use the laser system in a clean and controlled environment. When

performing Endo photocoagulation procedures, a sterile surgical site should be used
to reduce the risk of infection. European National Requirements may apply in some
EU countries and are to be observed by those users (Refer to Section 9 of this
manual).
The patient cannot have any influence over the operation and control of the New
LightLas 532 Laser System. Depending on the type of surgery being performed, the
delivery unit being used, and the condition of the patient, the doctor must decide on
the modality of the Laser use and whether or not an assistant is required during the
surgery.
As the laser system is designed to deliver the laser beam to heat the tissue, care must
be taken to avoid dangerous situations that could cause a fire or an explosion. The
Laser should never be fired in the direction of flammable gases or liquids which may
be present in the operating room.

Section 5 INSTALLATION
5.1 Introduction and Requirements
It is strongly recommended that the manufacturer or its authorized agent install the
LightLas 532 Laser System at the operator site to ensure that the system is operating
correctly, aligned and calibrated according to specification. After this initial
installation it is the operators responsibility to ensure the laser system is operating
correctly whenever the laser is moved or relocated.
The following procedures should be followed in order to successfully install the laser
system. The checklist and report form should be completed and a copy sent to the
manufacturer. In the event that the report is not sent to the manufacturer then the
manufacturer reserves the right to decline any warranty claims that may be
forthcoming.
The installer should also retain a copy and the customer may keep a copy too.
All precautions care must be taken when installing the LightLas 532 to ensure that
you or others are not exposed to any hazardous laser radiation. Always wear laser
safety glasses suitable for the 532nm wavelength to protect your eyes.
The installation requirements are:
1. 100-230 Volts, 50 or 60Hz AC mains power supply with an earth connection. This
is a single-phase outlet capable of delivering up to 400 Watts.
2. A motorized stand that the Table provided with the Slitlamp can be fitted to is
required if one was not purchased with the Laser system. Ensure the Table is
fitted securely to the Stand using the supplied screws.
3. A mains power cable is supplied but the connector may not suit the outlet
available so it is advisable to have a spare locally compatible cable available. The
Cable assembly must be CE approved for EU Countries.
4. A suitable room to place the Laser System in that provides for a safe working
environment is required. As with other ophthalmic equipment a dimly lit room is
preferred.
5. The Laser System has the facility to connect a remote door interlock to the Laser
treatment room. If this option is required then the customer must organize this
with an electrician and the manufacturer or authorized agent can provide
instructions on how to connect to the Laser System. The Laser System is
provided with a Bypass plug in the event that this option is not installed. This
plug is referred to as the Interlock Key and must be inserted into the back of
the console, in order for the system to operate. Do not remove this Bypass
connector unless you intend to install the remote door interlock switches at the
site. Removing the connector will prevent the Laser from operating.

6. If the user needs to move the Laser system to a new location it is recommended
to lock all the movement screws on the Slitlamp and carefully transport to the
new location. If the new location is at a different facility then the User should
consider repackaging the Slitlamp Delivery system in its original foam packing
prior to moving to the new site. This will help to prevent any damage occurring
to the System. When the relocation is completed then the correct operation and
functioning of the Laser system should be performed according to the following
steps in this section and sections 7.2 and 7.3 of this Operator Manual.
7. The LightLas 532 Laser Console can be relocated easily as it is a portable device.
When required to be used with the LIO or Endo-ocular Probes the Console can be
carefully transported to the new surgery location. Treat the Laser Console with
the same care as should be offered to any precision surgical device. When the
Laser is set up at the new site check the operation as per Section 5.0 of this
manual.
8. When installing the LightLas 532 as a System with Slitlamp onto a Table then care
must be taken to ensure that the set-up is optimized for the User with all parts of
the System correctly installed and mounted so that both the Patient and Doctor
are comfortable and safe during the treatment. There are no specific safety
issues when installing the System however it is recommended that the
Motorized Table mains Power cable not be plugged into the same Multiple
Portable Socket Outlet as the Laser Console and Slitlamp power supply cables.
Use a separate wall mounted Power outlet.
5.2 Unpacking and Receiving Inspection

When receiving the laser system, there will usually be two cardboard boxes. One will
contain the laser console. Depending on what was ordered, the other may contain
the integrated system, AD delivery attachment kit, or the laser indirect
ophthalmoscope. Refer to figures 5.1 and 5.2 for examples.

Figure 5.2 Portable Carry Cases for Console and LDUs
Upon receiving the system inspect the packing carton for any signs of mishandling,
which must be reported to the freight handler before the instrument is unpacked. If
there is damage, then the manufacturer reserves the right to decline any warranty
claims that may be forthcoming so it is essential that the freight company will take
full responsibility for any damages.
If the outer cardboard packaging looks OK then you can proceed to remove the
internal packed assemblies (refer to Fig. 5.1). The contents of each layer are:
1. The top layer is just a protection layer.
2. The middle layer contains the Chinrest and Integrated LDU including the
Zoom assembly, binoculars, eyepieces, target rod, target plate, cross-slide
shaft and gears, gear covers, spare lamp, manual, mains power cable.
3. The bottom layer part contains the table top.
The packing checklist is used to confirm the individual layer contents and notify the
manufacturer if any discrepancy. The motorized table is an optional and may be
purchased from the manufacturer.

5.3 Tools and Equipment

5.5.2 Pre-check / Alignment LDU
When the Laser Delivery unit has been fitted to the Slitlamp the alignment of the
Laser beam with reference to the Slitlamp needs to be checked and adjusted
accordingly. The following procedures will guide you through the entire pre-check
and alignment process. Three different types of LDU systems are detailed as follows:
Slitlamp (Integrated / Attachment)

LIO
Endoprobe
5.5.2.1A Integrated Slitlamp LDU
Prior to pre-check and realign the integrated Slitlamp LDU, ensure all the corrected
installation or setup are in placed (including eye piece dioptre setting, fiber
connection, and console setup and on) prior to proceed the following steps.
Slit Integrity Checkout
1. Insert the Slitlamp target rod into the Slitlamp or set up a target to view the
Illumination spot
2. Set a narrow slit width with low intensity illumination and verify that the slit is
focused and that the two slit lines are aligned together for the Integrated
Delivery Unit Slitlamp. If not align, proceed to following steps:
2a. Unscrew the upper slit alignment screw slightly or lower slit alignment
depending on your preference (refer to fig. 5.25)
2b. Choose one end as your starting reference and realign the another
Note: Do not over loosen the alignment screws completely specially the upper slit
due to the slit prism module may fall off and break prism mirror
2c. Confirm it by illuminating the aperture to see if you have aligned them ok
2d. Process to the next step if it is aligned

16. Increase the spot size to 75 and 100 to see if the burn pattern is also getting
darker as the spot size increased
17. Verify if everything is consistently and accordingly to the installation, pre-check
and alignment procedures, then the system is now ready to use accordingly.
Note: At the higher power settings it may be possible to see a faint luminescence
glow at the target site when power setting is set at higher range furthermore this
transmission is under the Class I laser limitation.

5.5.2.1B Attachment Slitlamp LDU
Prior to pre-check and realign the attachment Slitlamp LDU, ensure all the corrected
installation or setup are in placed to proceed the following steps.
Slit Integrity Checkout

locking screw (new type version) to align the focus correctly and then secure the
screw tightly (refer to fig. 5. 28a-b)
7. Remove the target rod and place a piece of black tape or thermal paper on the
chinrest
8. Verify the slit and aiming beam focus are in focus together
Micromanipulator Joystick Movement Checkout (applicable only to old version type)
9. Place back the target rod and verify the micromanipulator joystick is moving within
the full range of the field view and in the center portion when illumination spot is
set at largest (Applicable only to old version type refer to fig. 5.29)
10. Ensure the illumination spot is reasonable in the center portion of field of view. If
not refer to below steps for fine tune-up:
10a. Loosen the mirror nut that clamp to Main body (refer to fig. 5.30) and low
or raise will center the beam correctly and retighten when achieved or
10b. Loosen the set screw on the side of Tonometer using 1.5 mm allen key and
adjust the rod on the Tonometer mount post (refer to fig. 5.30) in aside
way to achieve the centering beam and retighten when achieved the
position
10c. Ensure the set screw is tighten and the rod is removed (keep it in a safe
location) upon completion

Final Testing and Verification
11. Power on the console and ensure its delivery fiber is connected through the filber
holder (refer to fig. 5.24)

glow at the target site when power setting is set at higher range furthermore this
transmission is under the Class I laser limitation.
As for other types of Attachment Slitlamp LDU such as, the Haag Streit style or Zeiss
30SL system, the alignment techniques are quite similar and the technique is to align
the Slitlamp focus and confirm it is at the same focal plane as the viewing optics.
Then align the Laser beams so that at the smallest spot size setting you can clearly
see that the Laser spot is at its smallest size at this focus plane. If this is OK then all
other spot sizes will match what is shown on the Spot size display.

Section 6 CLINICAL USE
The LightLas 532 is an Ophthalmic Laser intended to coagulate or burn structures

within the patients eye as a surgical treatment for the condition that the patient
suffers from. During the surgical treatment, the Laser energy is delivered directly on
to the patients eye tissue and thereby modifies the eye structure as required by the
doctor.
The LightLas 532 Green Laser is used for performing the following clinical procedures:
Retinal Photocoagulation
Pan Retinal Photocoagulation
Endo-photocoagulation
Macular Treatments
Laser Trabeculoplasty
Retinal, Pan Retinal photocoagulation and Endo-photocoagulation are treatments
that involve the destruction of neovascular complexes for destroying areas of
microinfarction or capillary closure.
The Retinal photocoagulation treatment, it can use the Slitlamp Delivery unit. As for
the Pan retinal photocoagulation treatment it can use either the LIO or the Slitlamp
Delivery units. Endo-photocoagulation is performed using the Endoprobes and
should be practiced in a sterile environment.
Macular treatments involve the destruction of leaking vessels in the macular and
paramacular regions in order to produce a chorioretinal adhesion that can resist
ongoing vitreoretinal traction. This treatment is performed using the Slitlamp
Delivery unit.
Laser Trabeculoplasy is the photocoagulation of the trabecular meshwork to create
apertures and thereby increase the flow of the aqueous humor in order to treat
open-angle glaucoma. This treatment is performed using the Slitlamp Delivery unit
The following warnings are typical of all Ophthalmic Green Laser products when used
to perform the surgical procedures as listed above. The warnings are presented
according to the type of Laser Delivery unit used as the warnings in some case are
related to the means of delivery.

6.1 Different types of LDUs Indication / Contraindication Use
There are three different types of delivery system such as, Slitlamp Delivery unit, LIO
and Endoprobes. They are explained in great detailed for their specific indication and
countraindication uses as follows.
6.1.1 Slitlamp Delivery Unit

The Slitlamp Delivery unit allows the treatment of many Retinal conditions and
Glaucoma while still being able to use all the standard diagnostic functions of the
Slitlamp to which it is fitted.
Indications for use:
Proliferative and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Retinal tears and detachments
Lattice degeneration
Laser trabeculoplasty in glaucoma treatment
Contraindications for use:
Opaque cornea or lens, corneal edema, or blood in the vitreous humor that
interferes with the treatment by scattering the beam
Albino patients or eyes that have no pigmentation.
Additional Contraindications for use in trabeculoplasty:
Aphakic eye with vitreous in the anterior chamber
Neovascular glaucoma
Glaucoma caused by congenital abnormalities of the angle
Glaucoma secondary to active uveitis
Less than 90 of open angle or extensive low-lying peripheral anterior
synechiae present around the circumference of the angle
6.1.2 Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscope (LIO)

The Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscope allows for the treatment of panretinal disorders
and adds the capability of transpupillary retinal photocoagulation to the diagnostic
indirect ophthalmoscope. Use of the LIO enables delivery of the laser to pathologies
in the far periphery of the retina and for treatment of supine patients.
Proliferative and nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with pathology
outside the arcades
Retinal tears
Lattice degeneration

Localized retinal detachments
Any eye requiring laser treatment out to the ora serrata
Delivering laser treatment through small pupils or to eyes with semi-opaque
focal lenses
Treatment sites close to the macula, within the arcades or where precise
positioning of the Laser is not possible, should not be attempted
Opaque cornea or lens, or blood in the vitreous humor that interferes with
the Laser delivery to the tissue requiring treatment by scattering the beam
Do not treat albino patients that have no pigmentation
6.1.3 Endoprobe devices

The Endoprobes are typically used during Vitrectomy to perform
endophotocoagulation procedures such as sealing retinal holes during a retinal
detachment procedure or to perform panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) in the
treatment of diabetic retinopathy
The Endoprobe is a blunt intraocular needle fitted to a handle and connected to the
Laser unit by an optical fiber. The Red aiming beam is transmitted through the fiber
and allows clear identification of the position and size of the Laser spot.
The Endoprobes are used in a sterile environment and the doctor will observe the eye
through an Operating Microscope. A doctor safety filter must be fitted to the
operating microscope between the Binoculars and the Microscope. The correct
wavelength safety filter must be used to ensure for the safety of doctors eyes.
The Endoprobes are sterilized and single use devices. Their performance can degrade
which possible cause the delivered power decreased due to the transmission losses.
A spare Endoprobe should be kept available for any situations where the Endoprobe
is not performing satisfactorily.
During vitreous surgery to produce a chorioretinal scar around retinal breaks
or retinal sites
To perform PRP in proliferative diabetic retinopathy
To perform intraoperative PRP on a scleral buckle
To perform intraoperative PRP around focal neovascularization
Do not treat albino patients, or eyes that have no pigmentation

6.2 General Warnings
Doctors should ensure they have extended training before attempting to carry
out any of the indicated procedures. Doctors will take full responsibility for the
setting of the Laser unit operating characteristics, techniques and methods used
during treatment. They must use their own clinical judgment in determining all
aspects of the treatment carried out.
For all type of Delivery units always ensure that the power levels are not set too
high at initially.
Always set the power levels according to the tissue effects. Remember that
highly vascularized and pigmented tissue will require less power than lightly
pigmented.
The Aiming beam and Green laser beams are coaxial and if there is any distortion
to one of them then the other may also be distorted and this can lead to
inconsistent tissue effects and clinically unsatisfactory results.
By reducing the spot size by half will increase the power density by a factor of
four so be very careful not to deliver too much power to the site.
If the delivery of the Laser does not produce satisfactory tissue effect then
increase the pulse duration first then the power level. The aim is to produce a
grey-white burn.
Any assistant personnel in the treatment room should always wear appropriate
laser safety glasses suitable for the 532nm wavelength laser while the Laser unit
is in use.
Outside the treatment room should be placed Laser warning signs or any
appropriate warning signs for the country the Laser is being used in. Generally
the warning signs should state minimum as: Danger/ Caution Laser Radiation,
avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered laser radiation.
The laser can coagulate blood vessels up to 1.5mm in diameter. For larger
diameter vessels coagulation may be difficult so other means such as
electrocautery may be needed.
When treating a patients eye, ensure that untreated eye should cover with
protective shield from the unwanted laser reflection that can lead to irreversible
eye damage.
Avoid directly firing the Laser onto the flammable liquids or gases
Avoid any wet condition near console or footswitch although footswitch is rated
IPX8 but still not recommend use in the wet condition to avoid the electrical
hazards.

Any precaution measured should be taken during any surgical process. All
personnel should always wear the protective gears such as, gown, cap, mask,
latex gloves, and safety goggles.
Caution - Laser plume may contain viable tissue particulates
When positioning the Laser for treatment always keep the Aiming beam in a
good focus so that the resultant tissue effect is clinically satisfactory.
The beam divergence of the Laser beam from the Endoprobes is higher in air
than in a fluid medium so when using the Endoprobes in air a higher power
setting will be required to get an equivalent burn as seen on the retina at a given
distance.
When using the LIO always ensure that the headpiece is adjusted to be firmly fit
to the doctors head so that good control is always maintained over the beam
positioning. The Illumination Lamp housing can get warm but this is normal.
When using any Laser Contact Lens in treatments, it is essential that they are
effective and suitable for the procedure with the LightLas 532 Laser. Due to the
individual len coating can affect the treatment performance quality which may
result in poor treatment.
The optical fibers that connect from the any/all Laser Delivery units to the Laser
Console must always be treated with care. Never try to bend the fibers into loops
smaller than 200mm in diameter instead just leave them loose or draped over a
suitable surface. Never allow a fiber to run along the floor or to be in walkways
where they could be stepped on or crushed with a trolley wheel. Also ensure
that the fiber ends are kept covered whenever they are not inserted in the Laser
unit so they remain clean which will extend their lifetime. Avoid touching the
fiber ends as this may leave deposits on them, which can cause damage when
the laser is fired into the fiber.

6.3 Possible side-effect or adverse reactions
During or following surgical treatment with the LightLas 532 Green Laser there are
some potential effects or reactions that should be considered. They are similar to
any other surgical procedure and include:
Pain: this is generally minimal but dependent on the treatment performed.
Sepsis: care should always be taken to ensure that possible infection risks are
minimized.
Bleeding: post-operative bleeding must be considered and the patient should be
observed and evaluation made for each on an individual basis.
Perforation: this is more likely to occur when using the Endoprobes so particular
care is required. In particular it is important not to bring the end of the probe
closer to the tissue whilst firing the Laser.
Intraocular pressure: the IOL pressure can increase as a result of the Laser
treatment so the patient should be monitored and treated accordingly where
this is a potential issue.
Venous Pressure: patients should be cautioned against performing any activity
that could increase their venous pressure in their head or eyes. Avoid rubbing
their eyes, blowing their nose and prolonged sneezing or coughing. The head
should be slightly elevated during sleep, while recovering from the treatment
For the LightLas 532 Green Laser several key safety issues to consider are:
All laser treatment indications and contraindications are well documented and
readily available for the doctors to reference.
There is a long history already for the various treatments when using a Green
Laser, so all possible side effects and adverse reactions are well understood.
The doctor should always ensure they are adequately trained to perform the
Laser procedures in LightLas 532 Green Laser system.

Section 7 MAINTENANCE
The LightLas 532 Photocoagulator Laser has been designed to require minimal
maintenance. There are several simple routine procedures that are to be carried out
by the operator (see 7.2) but aside of these there are no operator maintenance
requirements.
The manufacturer however does recommend that the LightLas 532 be serviced by an
authorized service agent every 12 months. During this Preventative Maintenance (PM)
service visit the Laser System will be Calibrated and Aligned and the general
operating function confirmed.
It is a requirement that on an annual basis (every 12 months) the LightLas 532 has
the Power meter calibrated to a known calibrated meter and have its earth leakage
current and earth resistance measured according to EN60601-1. These procedures
can only be performed by an authorized service agent of the manufacturer.
If at any time you have concerns about any aspect of the Operation / Calibration or
Alignment of the Laser System you are urged to contact the authorized
representative or the manufacturer in order to decide on a suitable course of action.
Refer to Section 9 of this Manual for particular National requirements of EU
Countries.
7.1 Operator / User Maintenance

The following procedures are those that the manufacturer recommends that the
operator of the Laser System perform routinely. The operator or service person must
always take care not to expose yourself to hazardous laser radiation when performing
any of the maintenance procedures. Always wear safety glasses if operating the laser.
1. Cleaning the external surfaces of the Laser
To clean the outside of the LightLas 532 console, wipe over using a damp (but not
dripping) cloth or use a mild cleaning agent. Do not use any solvents or do not spray or
pour any cleaning agents directly on the equipment. Use a dry cloth afterwards or allow
to air dry.
This procedure should be carried out as often as required but at least every 3 months.
Avoid touching the optical parts, as there is a specific procedure to clean them.
When the Laser System is not in use keep it covered using the Dust Cover.

2. Cleaning the Optics
The optical surfaces of the Laser System are; the objective lens, the illumination tower
prism, the eyepieces and any other Slitlamp accessory that may have been purchased.
The process for cleaning all these optical surfaces is the same.
Moisten one end of a cotton tip (Q-tip) or a folded lens tissue (Kodak or similar) with
100% Methanol or Ethanol and then gently wipe across the optic. Use one Q-tip or tissue
per wipe then discard and repeat with a new one until the optic surface is totally clean.
Never wipe an optic with a dry Q-tip or tissue, as this will scratch the glass.
7.2 Laser Beam Alignment Check

The Laser performance can deteriorate if the optics are not clean. It will depend on the
environment that the Laser System is used in how often the optics should be cleaned
however the optical surfaces should be cleaned at least every three months. To check
the alignment of the LightLas 532 Treatment Laser beam to the Aiming beam
procedure is detailed in the Installation procedure that can be found in Section 5 of
this manual. The beams should always be centered together because they are
delivered together by an optical fiber.
At the Target site (focal plane) it is also necessary to make sure the beams are
centered and focused in the center of the Illuminated spot. There are adjustment
screws for the Slitlamp LDU and for the LIO the Optics housing can be rotated to
adjust the horizontal plane and a mirror adjustment for the vertical plane.
There are no adjustments for the Endoprobes.
For all LDUs it is important that the delivered Laser beams are round in shape as
this then means the alignment of the fiber to the internal Laser cavity is correct. If
this alignment is bad then the fiber may become damaged particularly at high power
settings.
If the output beam from the fiber is checked and whether with the Aiming beam or
the Treatment beam it is anything other than a round spot then there is a strong
possibility that the alignment of the Laser beams into the fiber has changed or the
fiber is damaged in some way. In either case it is important to get the alignment
checked by a Service person to verify if the system is OK to be used. If the output
beam looks OK with another fiber then it is most likely that the fiber is damaged and
the Laser alignment in the Console is OK.

7.3 System Output Power Checking Procedure
This system output power checking procedures are intended to ensure the LightLas
532 system performance validation and it must be carried out by an authorized and
trained service agent. Therefore if you believe the Laser System is out of
specification or requires extended Calibration procedures you should have the
system checkout and verified by authorized and trained service prior to use the
equipment.
More detailed of these procedures are explained in the Service Repair Manual refer
to calibration section.
The procedure for checking the System Output Power is the same for the
Endoprobes, Slitlamp and LIO delivery units and the detailed procedures are listed
below:
Equipment Required:
- Power meter (Coherent Labmaster, Fieldmaster or Newport) CW 2W +/-
0.1W
- Safety glasses OD4+ / 532nm
Procedures:
1. Ensure to plug the correct delivery key to the Laser Console as the front panel
indicator will show the correct unit is attached.
2. Set the remote controls panel setting to 50% duty cycle which the pulse interval
and pulse duration both set to 0.05 sec.
3. Set the system to Treat Mode and aim the output Aiming beam at the center of
the Power Meter detector with the spot size at around 5mm diameter or 50% of
the active detector area.
4. Set the Laser Power to levels of 100, 500, 1000 and 1500 mw and for each
setting fire the laser using the footswitch and note the External Power Meter
reading. For the Integrated Slitlamp Delivery the output power should be
checked at both the 200 and 1000 spot size settings and for the Attachment
Delivery Unit use the 100 and 500 spot sizes.
Note: For the Slitlamp Delivery units ensure that the Slitlamp Illumination tower is
pushed to one side so that it cannot block any of the Laser beams.
5. Ensure the reading multiply it by 2 (X2) to get the true power level as it is being
fired at 50% duty cycle. Record the X2 reading for each power setting on the
System Output Power Record Sheet.
6. Validate the measured power readings (X2) must be within +/-20% of the set
power for the system to be passed.

7. Ensure the readings fall within the +/-20% tolerance if not, then recheck the
system and make sure the External Meter is set up properly and the fiber has no
sharp bends or damage to it. Replace another fiber to validate it because the
damaged fiber can introduce significant power losses.
8. If the checking data definitely out of tolerance then the manufacturer or
authorized distributor must be contacted and the Laser System calibration
adjusted according to the procedure in the Service manual.
9. Be sure to complete the record sheet and keep the copy in the system records.
10. This system throughput check should be performed at least once a year to
ensure the o/p power performance is within the specified accuracy.

3 V/m distance in metres (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as

determined by an electromagnetic site survey,a should
be less than the compliance level in each frequency
range.b
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment

marked with the following symbol:
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which LightLas 532 is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, LightLas 532 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating LightLas 532.
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
