SPECTRA
 Chapter 2. Safety Precautions

2.5 Protecting the Eyes


 The SPECTRA laser system produces near infrared rays that are
invisible to the naked eye. Users and patients must wear safety goggles
at all times. Eye exposure, during procedures, to the laser beam may
result in severe injury or even loss of eyesight.

 All persons involved with the laser operation should wear goggles with
protection from 1064nm and 532nm laser beams (optical density of 5 or
higher) or glasses with side protection that is pursuant to the ANSI
standard. Simple goggles made of glass that do not have any safety
functions may be penetrated by the laser beam.

 The laser beam may reflect off the smooth surfaces such as surgical
tools. Therefore, all tools irrelevant to the procedure should be moved
to a safe place before performing the procedure.

 A direct or scattered ray of the 532nm and 1064nm laser may cause
unrecoverable damage to the retina as it comes in contact with eyes.

 Although proper laser safety goggles are worn, all persons should not
look directly into the laser aperture of the handpiece while the main
power of the system is turned on.

 Patients are also required to wear the proper eye protection.

DANGER
Never look directly into the laser aperture or at the end of the
handpiece when power is applied to the system. It could result
in serious eye injury and/or blindness even though laser safety
goggles are worn. Never direct the rays of laser beam to any
object other than necessary targets. Regardless of its color, the
laser beam reflected from the surface may cause damage at any
time.

2.6 Precautions against Fire Hazards


 Laser may ignite most non-metallic objects.

 Various types of covers and gowns commonly used in procedures


should be made of material that is flame resistant. Avoid using
materials saturated with oxygen.

 Be especially careful when using the laser beam near flammable


material. For instance, if the laser beam hits anesthetic, gaseous
materials such as nitric oxide or oxygen, or flammable material such as
alcohol or cotton, it may cause a fire.

 Before using the laser, make sure all solvent, adhesives and cleaning
liquids have fully evaporated.

 A fire extinguisher should be placed near the laser-generating device at


all times.

 Never operate this system while it is covered.

DANGER
Operator should be especially careful when using the laser
beam near flammable material. For instance, if the laser beam
hits an anesthetic, gaseous material such as nitric acids or
oxygen, or flammable material such as alcohol or cotton, it may
cause fire.

WARNING
One should never direct the rays of a laser beam at any target
other than skin. This may lead to ignition of the object.

Revision 1.3 / 4100124013 Ch5-2/20


SPECTRA  Chapter 5. Operation

5. Fluence
The fluence is displayed in joules per square centimeter (J/cm2). The
fluence is computed by dividing the pulse energy into joules by the spot
area in square centimeters. The fluence is adjustable using the up and
down push buttons on the right side. This display is valid for fluence at the
tissue. The spot area and the fluence depend on which handpiece is being
used.

 Derivation of the equation:


 Area of Laser Radiation : (Spot size /2) x (Spot size/2) x π
 Fluence(J/cm2)= Laser output / Area of laser radiation

<Example> Spot size at 0.2cm(2mm) and Pulse energy at 0.1J


Fluence: 0.1 x 0.1 x π = 0.0314 cm2
0.1(J) / 0.0314(cm2)= 3.184J/cm2

6. Wavelength
The SPECTRA laser system has three kinds of wavelength mode, 1064nm,
532nm and Spectra (Optional: 585nm and 650nm). The wavelengths can
be selected by pressing each “wavelength” button. Each selected
wavelength is illuminated.

Optional Wavelength :
In addition, 585nm or 650nm for wavelength mode can be
automatically selected only by connecting its dye handpiece (2mm-
SD585/5mm-SD585/2mm-SD650) to articulated arm.

Mode Wavelength Description


Laser radiation at 1064nm in Q-switch. The pulse
width is 5ns~10ns and the energy peak is higher
1064 1064nm than that of Spectra Mode. Thus, the energy
intensity is much higher than that of Spectra Mode
for the same duration.

Green laser radiation at 532nm in Q-switch. The


532 532nm
energy peak is high and the energy density is high.

Laser radiation at 1064nm. The energy peak is


lower than that of Q-switch 1064nm. Thus, the
Spectra 1064nm energy intensity is much lower than that of Q-
switch mode for the same duration.

parameters are wavelength, spot size and fluency. Larger spot
sizes and higher fluency result in deeper penetration.

In summary, the overall effectiveness of a laser for specific indications


depends on how well the wavelength is absorbed by the chromophore, how
well and deeply the wavelength can penetrate the skin, the thermal
relaxation time (TRT) of the target, pulse duration and its relative
shortness compared to the target’s TRT, and the spot size and fluency level
of the laser beam.

7.2 Education and Training


Before using the SPECTRA laser system, operators should ensure that
they are completely familiar with this manual and that they understand
everything in it. The system is intended for use by qualified clinical
professionals. Operators are advised to attend a Lutronic Corporation
authorized training session on the use of the SPECTRA laser system,
receive training in basic laser related safety, and gain hands-on clinical
experience before using the system.

A Q-switched Nd:YAG Laser course includes didactic lectures on: laser


physics, laser safety, and hands-on sessions. Live patient observation
followed by a preceptorship is highly recommended. Specific
recommendations for laser safety training can be found in the relevant
international standards such as the ANSI Z136.4, CA and CE Standards, as
published by the relevant Standards authorities. For more information on
training please contact Lutronic Corporation by dialing +82-31-908-3440
or sending an e-mail to office@lutronic.com. Also we recommend to click
on website edu.lutronic.com for more details about operation video.

Users should stay current with published literature on the clinical use of
lasers.

7.3 Consultation
Physicians should provide patients with detailed information regarding the
nature of their problem area, the treatment options, risks, benefits,
potential complications and anticipated outcomes. Written consent of the
patient should also be obtained prior to commencing a laser treatment
program. During consultation, a clinical history should be established with
specific and detailed attention paid to any contraindications. It is
recommended that:
 All patients should have a full consultation prior to treatment

 The consultation should be used to screen out unsuitable patients


for reasons of skin type, skin condition, or any other clinical
contraindications

 The patient should be provided with an informational literature


explaining expectations and after care, a medical history
questionnaire and consent form.

 The consultant should discuss the patient’s medical history,


treatment requests, anesthetic requirements and projected
treatment cost.

 The following key points must be communicated to the patient


prior to commencing treatment program:
- Multiple treatments may be required

- The effectiveness of treatment is related to skin color, skin


type and other factors

- the laser type being used and its appropriateness for


patient’s skin type

 Patient comments should be recorded

 The patient should be given the opportunity to ask questions and,


only when satisfied, asked to sign a consent form.

7.4 Contraindications
Few situations exist in which the SPECTRA laser system is
contraindicated for benign pigmented lesions and/or tattoo removal
procedures. However, as with any other laser equipment some side effects
