INTRODUCTION

At the conclusion of each service call final closing-up steps should be performed
including the completion of the GMAX PRO Performance and Usage Data Sheet.

This includes exiting Maintenance Mode and replacing the system panels. The
GMAX PRO laser system must be turned off when replacing all panels/dust covers.

Whenever any service is performed on a GMAX PRO laser system, the Performance
and Usage Data Sheet should be filled out completely after the system is closed up.
The laser must be pulsed and tested in User Mode to make sure that nothing has
been disturbed during the installation of all dust covers and panels. You must verify
that the system is ready to be used by the customer and that all previous
parameters set by the customer are the same as when you arrived, including
the footswitch to handpiece setting, if customer was not using the footswitch.

______________________________________________________________________
WARNING
FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION STEPS IN SEQUENCE TO ELIMINATE ANY
POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM.

Warnings, Cautions, and Precautions

Observe the following warnings and cautions when using the Candela Corporation
GMAX PRO Laser system.

Warnings:

WARNING!
The electrical and laser radiation hazards present during servicing of the GMAX
PRO Laser can be extremely dangerous if proper safety precautions are not taken.
Consequently, the GMAX PRO Laser is to be serviced only by those qualified
technicians who have received appropriate training on the GMAX PRO Laser from
Candela, and who are familiar with the safety considerations discussed in this
section.

WARNING!
The GMAX PRO Laser system has been designed for the safest possible operation
and maintenance. However, any laser system can cause injury if it is not properly
installed, operated, moved or serviced, and the GMAX PRO Laser is no exception.
The potential hazards associated with the GMAX PRO Laser are: ocular (vision)
damage resulting from exposure to direct or reflected laser radiation, electrical shock
from contact with high voltage electrical components inside the system, and physical
injury incurred while moving the system.

WARNING!
8501-00-1965, Revision 01 Candela Corporation Proprietary VI
 GentleLASE PRO Service Manual
Invisible and visible laser radiation. Avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered
radiation. Class 4 laser product (Per EN60825-1: 2002-07)

WARNING!
The Preset Treatment Parameters and Clinical Treatment Guidelines do not take the
place of the procedures and instructions found in the Operator’s Manual. Failure to
use this laser in accordance with such procedures and instructions could result in
serious injury to the operator, the patient, and others, as well as damage to the laser
system.

Follow OSHA and ANSI standards for laser safety. Protective eyewear must be worn
by all persons in the treatment room during laser operation.

Check the delivery system for any damage (i.e. dropped).

Discontinue use of your laser delivery system if you suspect a problem.

WARNING!
Always put the laser system into Standby or turn it off before attempting to check, clean,
and/or replace the Delivery System, Handpiece, Slider Attachments, or Distance Gauge.

WARNING!
Always recalibrate the laser after fixing, cleaning, or replacing the Delivery System,
Handpiece, or Slider Attachments and/or Windows. Failure to initiate a calibration after
cleaning/replacing the Handpiece, Slider Attachments, Windows, and/or Delivery System
may result in the delivery of excessive laser energy.

WARNING!
Ensure that the spot size on the Slider Attachments and Distance Gauges matches the spot
size displayed in the spot size field on the display panel. Failure to do so can result in the
delivery of improper energy to the patient.

WARNING!
Do not operate the laser if the aiming beam is on but not present when it is turned on! This
may be an indication of a broken fiber optic. If the aiming beam is on but is not present,
replace the Delivery System. If this does not correct the problem, call Technical Support.

Cautions:
Caution!
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Caution!
Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

Caution!
8501-00-1965, Revision 01 Candela Corporation Proprietary VII
 GentleLASE PRO Service Manual
Do not enter the Ready state without a Delivery System installed and without having
the proper protective eyewear on.

Caution!
Before the laser system is turned on, a Slider Attachment must be installed in the
Hand piece.

Caution!
Slider Attachment lenses and the tips of the fiber cable may be damaged from
exposure to dust particles or any other foreign particles that may deposit on their
surfaces. Particles on these surfaces will burn and leave a deposit when exposed to
laser energy. This may lead to lower fiber or Slider Attachment transmission and/or
failure of the assembly. In order to reduce the probability of mechanical damage,
please observe the following guidelines.

Caution!
To reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the Delivery System cables, use
the Fiber Pole to support the delivery system at all times. When not in use, insert the
Handpiece in the holder on the side panel or in the Calibration Port. This removes
excess slack from the Delivery System cables and reduces the possibility of damage
to property and/or personal injury from stepping on or tripping on the cable or
running the wheels over it.

Caution!
When using the Fiber Pole to support the Delivery System, make sure there are no
sharp bends in the Delivery System cables. The laser system can be damaged if the
cable is subjected to excessive bending. To prevent damage, never pulse the laser
system if the Delivery System cable bend radius is less than six inches.

Optical Hazards:

WARNING!
The laser operates at 755 nm and at 1064 nm, which lies in the invisible, near-
infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The laser beam emitted by the
GMAX PRO is capable of causing loss of vision. Energy emitted by this Laser
System that enters the eye will be focused directly on the retina. Direct contact of the
laser beam on the retina can cause temporary clouded vision, retinal lesions, long-
term scotoma (vision absence in an isolated area), long term photophobia
(sensitivity to light) and/or loss of vision.

WARNING!

8501-00-1965, Revision 01 Candela Corporation Proprietary VIII

 GentleLASE PRO Service Manual
Use only safety eyewear that is known to have an optical density (O.D.) of > 5.8 for
745 - 765 nm and an optical density (O.D.) of > 6.3 for 1061 – 1065 nm. Safety
eyewear that is designed for use with other laser systems may not provide adequate
protection.

WARNING!
Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD). The laser aperture of the GMAX PRO
Laser System is at the distal end of the Handpiece. The beam enlarges as the
distance from the Handpiece increases. The Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance
(NOHD) is the distance at which the beam is so big it is no longer dangerous to the
unprotected eye. The distance along with the full angle beam divergence for each
spot size is shown in the Table below.

WARNING!
To avoid vision hazards, everyone (including service personnel) within the NOHD
where the laser is operating must wear appropriate eye protection available from
Candela. Such eyewear provides adequate protection against reflected or scattered
laser radiation, or inadvertent brief exposure to the laser beam. Laser safety
eyewear should be stored away from direct sunlight at temperatures of 65°F - 75°F
or 18° - 24°C.

8501-00-1965, Revision 01 Candela Corporation Proprietary IX

 GentleLASE PRO Service Manual

WARNING!
During laser procedures, the patient's eyes must be protected. The opaque patient
goggles provided by Candela are appropriate for most patients. It is recommended
to place gauze sponges under the opaque patient goggles to ensure that the patient’
s eyes remain closed. In addition, the opaque goggles do not fit well if used on
infants or small children. Gauze sponges can be used when moistened with water
and taped over the eyelids or a moistened facecloth can be held over the eyes are
recommended. If the patient is asleep, the eyes should be taped closed and covered
with moistened gauze sponges.

WARNING!
Even when wearing protective eyewear, looking directly into the path of the laser
beam may cause permanent eye damage .

Caution!
The laser beam emitted by the GMAX PRO Laser System should never be directed
at any part of the body other than the intended site of treatment or testing.

Caution!
Removal of any of the exterior panels could allow access to hazardous levels of
laser radiation. For this reason, these panels are designed not to be easily
removable; they must not be removed except by authorized Candela trained service
personnel.

Electrical and Mechanical Hazards:

WARNING!
The GMAX PRO Laser converts and amplifies the AC line voltage to produce
extremely high voltages inside the laser system which are very dangerous, even
lethal. It is possible for high voltage components to retain a charge after the power
supply has been turned off, and even after the laser has been disconnected from the
line voltage or wall receptacle. Therefore, no part of the laser interior should be
opened or exposed, except by trained and authorized technicians.

WARNING!
The GMAX PRO laser delivery systems utilize fiber optics that can be damaged if
installed or subjected to excessive bending. To avoid damage to the optical fiber,
limit bends to a radius of 6 inches (15 cm) or greater. Failure to follow recommended
procedures may lead to damage to the fiber or delivery system and/or harm to the
patient or operator. When damaged, the fiber or delivery system becomes a
potential fire hazard.

8501-00-1965, Revision 01 Candela Corporation Proprietary X

 GentleLASE PRO Service Manual
WARNING!
Although the GMAX PRO Laser system is well balanced, it weighs more than 250
pounds (almost 150 kg) and may cause injury if proper care is not used when
moving it. The system should always be moved carefully and slowly.

Caution!
To prevent the laser from moving, both front wheels must be locked. To lock the
wheels, step down on the tabs on the front of the wheels. To unlock, step down on
the top (smaller) tabs.

Chemical Hazards
There are no known chemical hazards associated with the GMAX PRO Laser
System.

Cryogen:

This laser system uses a Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) or cryogen in the Dynamic

Cooling Device (DCD).

Inhalation: If high concentrations are inhaled, immediately move to fresh air. Keep
person calm. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Call a physician.

Skin Contact: If large amounts of cryogen contact the skin due to a leak or rupture in
the cryogen system, flush skin immediately with water and call a Physician to check for
frostbite. Treat for frostbite if necessary by gently warming affected area.

Eye Contact: In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes. Call a physician.

Ingestion: Ingestion is not considered a potential route of exposure.

WARNING! IMPORTANT NOTE TO PHYSICIANS

Because of possible disturbance of cardiac rhythm, catecholamine drugs such
as epinephrine should only be used with special caution in situations, when
performing emergency life support. See MSDS sheet, Candela P/N 8501-00-1701.
