Proper Care and Cleaning

Laser

info

The cord is re-enforced both internally and externally for strength and flexibility. That said, at its core is a glass fibre-optic. Take care to keep it free ofk inks and out of harms way of dog's teeth, rolling chairs, and slamming cabinet doors.

tip

Keep both sets of vents clean and clear. In a veterinary practice, pet hair and dander are everywhere. At the beginning/end of every day of treatment, use a vacuum or compressed-air can to clean vents.

danger

Any dust/dirty on the lens will inhibit penetration and lead to excess heating of the probe. Regardless of which attachment isu sed, the most distal end is glass covered with a special film. DO NOT use any abrasive materials to clean them.

tip

The screen can be cleaned with a cloth. DO NOT use liquid cleaning agents.
