SAFETY AND REGULATORY
2.1 Introduction
This chapter describes general safety and regulatory issues regarding
the use of the LIGHTSheer DUET™ diode laser system.
Caution
Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order
of a physician or any practitioner licensed by the law of the state
in which he or she practices to use or order the use of the device.
The primary considerations should be for the safety of the patient, the
physician and other personnel. Patient safety is primarily assured by
well trained staff and a well laid out treatment room. Patient education
is also important, including information about the nature of the
treatment.
Considerable thought was given during the design of the LIGHTSheer

DUET™ diode laser to maximize safety for both the patient and
personnel. Following are some of the system’s safety features:
• A self-test of the electrical circuits takes place after the machine is

turned on. The test circuits continuously monitor the operational
system during treatment.
• The laser source is contained within the handpiece, which is
normally in direct contact with the patient’s skin. Laser light is
emitted only at the aperture of the delivery device.
• The system can only deliver laser light upon activating the “Ready”
button, and the triggering of the handpiece switch.
SM-0035630 Rev. A 2-1

• A manual safety switch on the treatment heads prevents

unintentional triggering of laser pulses.
• Independent safety circuits disable the system to prevent under or
over exposure treatments.
• An emergency shut-off knob expedites shutdown when necessary.
• A key switch prevents unauthorized activation of the device.
• A “beep” sounds with each treatment laser pulse.
• An emission indicator is displayed when the system is “Ready” to
deliver treatment pulses.
• The inactivity timer feature switches the unit to “Standby” (idle)
mode whenever the unit has not been used for five minutes.
• A current-limiting device (circuit breaker) is installed to protect the
power source and console in case of an over-current event.
Warning
Any laser, emitting device can cause injury if used
improperly. High voltages are present inside the system.
Personnel who work with lasers must always be aware of
the possible dangers and must take the proper safeguards
as described in this manual.
2-2
Safety and Regulatory
2.1.1 The Treatment Room

The entrance to the treatment room should be clearly labeled, with
signs indicating that high intensity laser is in use. Figure 2-1 shows the
treatment room signs supplied with the system.
Figure 2-1 Warning Signs for the Treatment Room
• Restrict entry to the laser room when the laser is in use. Allow access
to the treatment room only to personnel essential to the procedure
and well trained in the required safety procedures.
• Make sure that all treatment room personnel are familiar with the
system’s controls and know how to shut down the system instantly.
2.2 Major Precautions, Cautions and

Warnings
The following precautions, cautions and warnings must be heeded for
safe use of the system.
SM-0035630 Rev. A 2-3

2.2.1 Precautions
• All LIGHTSheer trained and certified service technicians operating
or servicing the LIGHTSheer DUET diode laser system should read
this manual thoroughly before attempting to operate or service this
device.
2.2.2 Cautions
• Only Lumenis-authorized personnel may service the system,
especially inside its protective covers. This includes making internal
adjustments to the power supply, cooling system, optics, treatment
heads, etc.
• Any laser device in this classification can cause permanent injury or
blindness if used improperly.
• High voltages and/or currents are present inside the system.
• Maintenance performed by the user must only take place when the
system is shut down and disconnected from power. Performing
maintenance procedures with the system powered-up may be
hazardous to the user and/or destructive to the system.
Warning
Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
2.2.3 Warnings Related to Laser Emission

• Laser emission presents an eye hazard and a potential fire or burn
hazard. Take all necessary precautions in areas where the system is
used.
• The LIGHTSheer DUET™ diode laser system emits laser pulses.
Make sure that the patient and all those present in the treatment room
guard against accidental exposure to this emission either directly
from the treatment head or indirectly from a reflecting surface.
• Never look directly at the light or laser beam coming from the
treatment head, even when wearing Lumenis protective eyewear.
2-4
• Never point the treatment head so that it discharges into free space.
Make sure it is mounted on its cradle, or, during actual treatment,
pointed at the target area.
• Keep hands away from the treatment heads during system start-up.
• Do not leave the system unattended when in operation.
2.3 Optical Safety
2.3.1 General
The following guidelines are to be strictly followed to ensure optical
safety:
• Laser light presents an eye hazard and a potential fire or burn hazard.
Take all necessary precautions in areas where the LIGHTSheer
DUET diode laser system is being used.
• Exposure to direct or scattered radiation can result in permanent
damage or blindness to the eyes and burns to the skin.
• A qualified person should be responsible for the system’s controls
during the procedure (under the supervision of the physician).
• Do not use the system in the presence of explosive anesthetics or
other flammable materials.
• Do not direct the treatment head light at anything other than the
targeted area.
• Do not allow reflective objects such as jewelry, watches, surgical
instruments or mirrors to reflect the pulsed light.
• Do not expose the skin to the light pulse except the test patch and the
treatment area.
• Do not look directly into the laser aperture of the diode treatment
head even if wearing laser safety glasses.
• Never point the delivery device (handpiece) so that it discharges into
free space. Make sure there is a suitable beam stop (wet towel) at or
near the output aperture of the delivery device.
SM-0035630 Rev. A 2-5

2.3.2 Eye Protection

The LIGHTSheer DUET diode laser system emits intense laser light
pulses. Prior to firing a pulse, always make sure that everyone in the
room is protected against accidental exposure to this emission either
directly from the delivery device (handpiece) or indirectly from a
reflecting surface. To protect against eye damage and discomfort make
sure that all personnel wear safety eyewear appropriate for the
wavelength(s) in use.
The laser light emitted by the LIGHTSheer DUET diode laser system is
invisible to the human eye. Because the laser light energy cannot be
seen, there is no visible indication of the primary or reflected beam. All
persons in the area of the system must wear eye protection with an
Optical Density of 5.0 (OD 5) or greater at the wavelengths of 790-830
nm whenever the system is being used or serviced.
Patients, physicians and staff should wear Lumenis protective eyewear

as follows:
Treatment Head Wavelength Optical Density Optical Density

(nm) Patients Physicians & Staff
LightSheer Diode 790-830 >5 >5
Warning
Do not treat eyebrows, eyelashes, or other areas within
the bony area surrounding the orbit with the Diode
treatment head. The light emitted by the head is capable
of causing serious eye damage or blindness. For
maximum safety, eye goggles (shields) must be worn by
the patient for all facial treatments.
• All persons potentially subject to laser exposure must wear appropri-

ate eye protection whenever the main power and key switch are on.
• Never look directly into the laser aperture at the distal end of the
handpiece, even if eye protection is being worn. Serious eye injury
or blindness may result.
• Avoid directing the laser beam anywhere other than the calibration/
storage port or intended treatment area. Stray laser light and
reflection is always a potential hazard and may cause serious injury.
• Never permit reflective objects such as jewelry, watches, surgical
instruments, or mirrors to reflect the treatment light.
2-6
2.3.3 Other Ocular Safety Considerations

• Identify the laser room clearly by posting approved laser safety signs
in prominent locations.
• To prevent hazardous reflections within the treatment room, all
mirrors and windows should be covered from the laser room. All
windows must be covered to prevent laser light from escaping the
laser room.
• Restrict entry to the laser room when the laser is in use. Allow access
only to those personnel both essential to the procedure and well
trained in laser safety.
• Ensure that the laser foot pedal is clean and working properly. Place
the foot pedal where it will not be confused or mistaken for another
piece of equipment.
• Do not attempt to remove the protective covers on the handpiece,
which could allow exposure to high-intensity laser light.
• If unauthorized entry to the room is possible, use of the Remote
Interlock is recommended (see "Remote Interlock Connection" on
page 4-4).
2.4 Electrical and Mechanical Safety

• No one other than Lumenis authorized service personnel may repair
any part of the LIGHTSheer DUET diode laser system within the
protective cover. This includes making modifications or internal
adjustments to the power supply, cooling system, power calibration,
etc.
• Removing any cover creates an electrical safety hazard. The system
contains high voltages and currents that are dangerous. Some
components may retain an electric charge even after the power
supply has been turned off. Always disconnect the console from the
power source before removing any cover.
• Never leave an operating or open unit unattended during system
maintenance.
• The console is grounded through the grounding conductor in the
power cable. This protective grounding is essential for safe
operation.
• The console weighs approximately 48Kg (105 lbs) and may cause
injury if not properly handled when moved. The system is well
balanced and is designed such that it can be moved without
difficulty. Nevertheless, the unit should always be moved carefully
and slowly.
SM-0035630 Rev. A 2-7

2.5 Fire and Burn Hazards

• The absorption of optical energy raises the temperature of the
absorbing material. Take precautions to reduce the risk of igniting
combustible materials in and around the treatment area.
• Do not use any flammable substance (alcohol, acetone) in the
preparation of the skin for treatment. If necessary, use soap and
water.
• If flammable solvents (alcohol or methanol) are used to clean and
disinfect any part of the LIGHTSheer DUET™ diode laser system or
delivery device, allow it to dry thoroughly before using the system.
• Do not use the system in the presence of explosive anesthetics (such
as ether) or other flammable materials.
• Never direct the output of the delivery device at anything other than
a beam stop, the calibration port, or the targeted tissue.
2.6 Chemical Hazards

• The closed coolant loop contains approximately 0.25 Liters of anti-
freeze (a mixture of 1 part ethylene glycol to 4 parts distilled water).
Ethylene glycol cannot be made non-poisonous. Immediately wipe
up any leaks or spills, and dispose of contaminated materials
properly.
• Flammable solvents (alcohol or methanol) may be used to clean
parts of the system or delivery device. Use such solvents only in a
well-ventilated area.
2.7 System Safety Features

The LIGHTSheer DUET diode laser system has been designed to be
safe and convenient for both the operator and patient. The most
important safety-related features are described below. See the
Operation section of this manual for descriptions and operating
instructions for these and all other system features.
2.7.1 Keyswitch
To prevent unauthorized use, the laser can only be turned on with the
master key, the key can only be removed when the laser is turned off,
2-8
and the laser only operates when the key is inserted into the keyswitch.
When the keyswitch is turned to the (on) position, the laser power-
up sequence is initiated.
Figure 2-2 Keyswitch Location
2.7.2 Safety Interlocks

The LIGHTSheer system contains a comprehensive monitoring system
that allows operation only when numerous safety conditions have been
met. A fault must be corrected and the system reset before laser
operation is re-enabled. The monitoring system includes the following:
• Remote interlock: An external door interlock receptacle and plug are

provided to disable the laser if the treatment room doors are opened.
Refer to the “Laser Safety Eyewear” section of this manual for
additional information.
• System time out which disables the laser if it has not been used for
15 minutes. This feature is designed to help prevent unintended
exposure and reduce mechanical wear.
• Energy monitoring to verify that the laser output is within specific
energy tolerances for every laser pulse. If abnormally low or high
laser current (indicative of optical energy) is detected, a system fault
is triggered and the user is notified.
• Temperature monitoring which disables system operation if the
diode temperature or ChillTip (on the ET handpiece only) is outside
the operating range.
2.7.3 Audible Emission Indicator

For operator feedback and safety, each laser pulse is accompanied by
an audible beep. No attempt should be made to disable or impair this
SM-0035630 Rev. A 2-9

emission indicator, and in the unlikely event that emission occurs

without an audible beep, use of the system should be discontinued until
proper performance is established.
2.7.4 Handpiece Enable

To help prevent unintended emission, laser output occurs only if both
the handpiece enable is active, the laser is in ready mode, and the
handpiece trigger is pressed.
ET Handpiece
With the laser in ready mode, the operator must first press the
handpiece enable button, which opens the safety shutter, and then press
the handpiece trigger to delivery the treatment pulses to the patient. The
enable button is unlit when disabled and lit when enabled.
HS Handpiece
With the laser in ready mode, the operator must first press the
handpiece enable button, which opens the shutter, and then press the
handpiece trigger to initiate the vacuum function. Once the target
vacuum is reached, the treatment pulses are delivered to the patient.
The enable button is unlit when disabled and lit when enabled.
2.7.5 Electronic Shutter

As a safety feature and in compliance with U.S. and international
regulations, the LIGHTSheer DUET laser system contains an
electronic shutter to help prevent inadvertent laser emission. Located in
the console, the shutter is an electronic switch that is independent of,
and in addition to, the normal energy circuit for the laser pulse. The
shutter is directly controlled by the handpiece enable and system mode;
laser emission is prohibited by the shutter if the system handpiece
enable is active and the laser is not in ready mode.
2-10
2.7.6 Handpiece Trigger
ET Handpiece
With the handpiece enable active and the system in ready mode, the
laser can be fired repetitively by (1) either pressing and releasing the
handpiece trigger for each pulse, or (2) keeping the trigger
continuously depressed, in which case the laser will fire repetitively for
as long as the handpiece trigger is depressed.
HS Handpiece
With the handpiece enable active and the system in ready mode, the
laser can be fired by pressing and releasing the handpiece trigger for
each treatment of 1-3 pulses.
2.7.7 Emergency Stop Switch

Releasing the handpiece trigger will stop all laser emission. In the event
of an emergency, the laser can be shut down immediately by pushing
the emergency stop button located near the keyswitch on the console
(see Figure 2-3).
Figure 2-3 Emergency Stop Switch Location
To restore operation, rotate the button in the clockwise direction until

it pops out again. Then follow the standard startup sequence. Since the
emergency stop switch is not intended for routine use, follow the
procedure in the Operation section of this manual for normal shutdown.
SM-0035630 Rev. A 2-11

2.7.8 Handpiece Design

Several aspects of the ET and HS handpiece design also contribute to
the safety of the LIGHTSheer DUET Diode Laser system. Since the
laser emission originates in the handpiece itself and not in the console
as in conventional lasers, there is no need for an articulated arm or
other beam delivery system with inherent beam quality and alignment
concerns. The laser emission is confined to the handpiece, so there is
no hazardous optical radiation in the console or umbilical.
ET Handpiece
The sapphire tip is placed against the patient’s skin during system use,
reducing stray light while increasing the therapeutic effectiveness.
HS handpiece
The handpiece is placed against the patient’s skin during use; a vacuum
pump creates suction and draws the skin into the treatment handpiece,
thus reducing stray light while increasing the therapeutic effectiveness.
2.8 Operating Precautions

• Do not leave the system in Ready mode unattended.
• Always turn the system OFF when the system is not in use.
• Do not allow untrained personnel to operate the system.
• Do not remove any system cover. Only Lumenis-authorized service
personnel are licensed to do so.
• Do not press the trigger on the Diode treatment head without first
verifying that the laser aperture is safely oriented.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 Introduction
The LIGHTSheer DUET laser system delivers pulsed infrared light
intended for hair removal, permanent hair reduction, the treatment of
leg veins, benign pigmented lesions, and pseudofolliculitis barbae.
Based on state-of-the-art diode laser technology, the LIGHTSheer

DUET system offers many advantages, including a nominal
wavelength of 790-830 nm, excellent pulse characteristics, and unique
integrated cooling in a lightweight and compact instrument. The
console provides touchscreen computer control and a user-friendly
interface, ensuring that treatments are performed with confidence and
convenience.
SM-0035630 Rev. A 3-1

3.1.1 Indications for Use
Warning
The Indications for Use and Safety and Regulatory sections of
this operator manual should be carefully read and
comprehended in their entirety before attempting to use the laser
system. Particular attention should be given to all cautions and
warnings pertaining to the safe use of the laser.
Note
The use of a laser instrument for an application is at the physician’s
discretion except in cases where the indication has been
contraindicated.
The LIGHTSheer DUET laser system is intended to effect temporary

hair removal and stable long-term permanent hair reduction. Permanent
hair reduction is defined as a long-term stable reduction in the number
of hairs regrowing after a treatment regime. The number of regrowing
hairs must be stable over a time greater than the duration of the
complete growth cycle of hair follicles, which varies from 4 – 12
months according to body location. Permanent hair reduction does not
necessarily imply the elimination of all hairs in a treated area.
The LIGHTSheer DUET system is intended for use on all skin types
(Fitzpatrick skin types I – VI), including tanned skin.
HS Handpiece
The HS handpiece features an open tip to which vacuum is applied. The
vacuum draws the patient’s skin into the tip before laser treatment, and
releases the skin upon delivery of the pulses. The combination of larger
aperture and vacuum affords the customer a faster treatment rate by
covering a larger skin area with each laser pulse.
ET Handpiece
The ET handpiece features a chilled sapphire tip that is pressed against
the patient’s skin during treatment. By conductively cooling the skin,
the chilled handpiece tip increases the tolerated fluence, provides
partial anesthesia, and reduces temperature-rise in the melanin-rich
epidermis.
3-2
General Description
3.1.2 Theory of Operation

The therapeutic basis of the LIGHTSheer DUET laser system is
selective photothermolysis. To effect hair removal, the 800
nanometer laser light penetrates deeply into the dermis where
the optical energy is preferentially absorbed by the melanin in
hair, causing a rapid heating of the hair shaft and follicle that
disables the follicle. For leg vein treatment, the optical energy is
absorbed by oxyhemoglobin, causing photocoagulation of
blood vessels in the dermis. For benign pigmented lesions, the
optical energy is absorbed by melanin-containing cells in the
pigmented lesion, causing rapid heating and thermal damage to
the lesion. The duration of the laser pulses is long enough to
disable the hair follicle, coagulate the vein, or be absorbed by
the target chromophore, while short enough to limit heat
transfer to the surrounding tissue.
As with any laser, appropriate care must be taken to ensure safe
and proper use. The entire user manual should be thoroughly
reviewed and understood before operating the instrument.
Furthermore, as discussed below, the operator should attend a
laser training course before using the LightSheer system.
3.2 LIGHTSheer DUET External

Components
The LIGHTSheer DUET laser system comprises
• a laser console with touchscreen and integrated
holster for handpiece calibration and storage.
• a large aperture, high-speed (HS) handpiece
• a standard (ET) handpiece
• an external door interlock plug
• all electrical cables necessary for proper connection
SM-0035630 Rev. A 3-3

Figure 3-1 LIGHTSheer DUET External Components
Laser console
The laser console houses the touchscreen, main power keyswitch,
emergency stop button, control electronics, and power supply. The
laser console also includes integrated holsters, which are used for both
calibration and storage of the LIGHTSheer DUET handpieces.
Touchscreen
The touchscreen provides an interface for operating and calibrating the
system. Press the touchscreen lightly with a finger to select the on-
screen functions.
3-4
General Description
External door interlock plug
The external door interlock plug must be inserted into the

(external interlock) receptacle on the rear of the laser console for the
laser to operate. The plug may be wired to an external switch to disable
the laser if the treatment room doors are opened during treatment.
3.3 Handpieces
Both HS and ET handpieces contain laser diode arrays that generate the
laser treatment light. Power and control signals are exchanged with the
main console via the handpiece umbilical. Both handpieces are
equipped with a wrist strap to prevent damage to the handpiece if
inadvertently dropped.
Warning
The handpiece contains delicate optical components which may
be damaged if dropped. The handpiece should be placed in the
holster when not being used for treatment. The wrist strap should
be worn whenever the system is in use. When the system is not
in use, the handpiece should be secured to the console by
looping the wrist strap around the wrist strap hook.
3.3.1 HS Handpiece
The HS handpiece operates by drawing the patient’s skin into the
handpiece and against the aperture with a vacuum pump. The
combination of larger aperture and vacuum affords a faster treatment
rate by covering a larger skin area with each laser pulse.
HS Handpiece Disposable Tip

The HS handpiece uses a removable, disposable tip that attaches to the
handpiece aperture, and which must be replaced between patients, or
during patient treatment if the tip becomes dirty or if the internal filters
become clogged.
Replace the disposable tip as needed; see ‘Preventive Maintenance

Check List’ on page 7-22.

General Description
3.3.2 ET Handpiece
The ET handpiece features a sapphire tip that provides contact cooling
to the patient’s skin during treatment. Cooling fluid is exchanged with
the main console via the handpiece umbilical.
In standard operation, the handpiece tip is placed against the patient's

skin and a laser pulse is delivered when the enable button is on and the
handpiece trigger is depressed.
For hair removal and treatment of benign pigmented lesions, direct

pressure with the handpiece tip allows light to penetrate more deeply,
decreases the amount of blood in the dermis, and conductively cools
the epidermis if the tip is chilled. For treatment of leg veins, contact
between the handpiece tip and skin is maintained for epidermal
cooling, but no pressure is applied.

handpieces during system calibration. Calibration is required after
SM-0035630 Rev. A 3-7

powering the system on, and may be initiated at other times by

inserting a handpiece into its respective holster and firing the laser.
The holsters also provide convenient locations for resting the

handpieces when moving the laser or when adjusting treatment
parameters during patient treatment. Store handpieces in the holsters
when the system is not in use.

General Description
Safety Switch and Indicator

The LightSheer Diode treatment head is equipped with a safety switch
which must be pressed before laser emission. The safety switch must
first be pressed before pressing the laser trigger (not simultaneously).
It enables laser emission only within an allotted time interval
(30 seconds). The safety switch has an orange indicator that lights up
when laser triggering is enabled. If the allotted time has passed, then
press the safety switch again.
Figure 3-6 Handpiece Calibration/Storage Ports
3.3.3 External door interlock

The external door interlock is a safety feature that disables the laser if
the treatment room doors are opened or the interlock plug is removed.
Use of an external door interlock is optional; however, you must insert

the interlock plug into the (interlock) receptacle whether or not you are
using an external door interlock. The laser remains inoperative until the
plug is inserted into the receptacle.
When using an external door interlock, the laser automatically disables

and returns to standby mode if the treatment door is opened or the
interlock plug is removed. To resume treatment, close the treatment
room door or reinsert the interlock plug, and press Ready on the
touchscreen.

4-2
Site Preparation
4.1.2 Electrical Requirements

The LIGHTSheer DUET Diode Laser system operates on the following
voltage range:
• 100-240 VAC, single phase, 15 Amp (minimum), 50/60 Hz,

grounded receptacle.
• Because electrical receptacles (outlets) are not internationally
standardized, it may be necessary to rewire the LIGHTSheer
DUET™ Diode Laser System power cord to mate with the local
wall receptacle. The ground wire (yellow/green) must be
connected to earth (building) ground.
Lumenis recommends that the system be connected to a separate

power line with separate circuit breakers. Lumenis cannot
guarantee adequate performance unless the LIGHTSheer DUET is
connected to a dedicated circuit.
The main fuse located within the system is a 20 Amp circuit breaker.
When the circuit breaker trips, it disconnects power from the system.
To restore the power after the circuit breaker has tripped, raise the
circuit breaker.
4.1.3 Environmental Requirements
Air Quality
The LIGHTSheer DUET Diode Laser system must operate in a non-
corrosive atmosphere. Corrosive materials such as acids can damage
electrical wiring, electronic components and the surfaces of optical
components.
Air-borne dust particles should be kept to a minimum. Dust particles

absorb light and heat up. Hot particles located on the optical filters can
damage them. Metallic dust is destructive to electrical equipment.
Temperature
Maintain an operating room temperature between 15°C and 27°C
(60° F -86°F) and a relative humidity of up to 70%.
SM-0035630 Rev. A 4-3

When the system is used intensively, it emits up to 2 KW of heat.

Therefore, it is highly recommended to install air conditioning in
the treatment room.
Non-operating room temperature range is 2°C to 50°C (35°F to 120°F).
Note
The system is pre-filled prior to shipping with an anti-freeze based
coolant. Draining the cooling system is not necessary, even for long-
term or “cold” storage, and/or shipping of the system.
4.2 Remote Interlock Connection

The LIGHTSheer DUET Diode Laser system has a remote interlock
connector on the service panel, to which an external switch can be
connected to create a remote interlock system. This external switch can
be mounted on the entrance door to the treatment room. It should be a
“normally open” switch that is kept closed by the closed door. When
properly installed, the interlock system prevents pulse emission
whenever the door is opened.
4.2.1 Remote Interlock Switch Installation

The customer may elect to install a remote switch (door interlock
device) to monitor the treatment room door where the laser system is
used. If the interlocked door is opened, the system will not emit laser
light. The remote interlock plug (a ¼ inch mono audio plug) must be
connected to a customer supplied doorswitch, where the switch is
closed when the door is closed. The door switch contact must be rated
for at least 12Vdc/2A service, and the total length of cable from the
door switch to the interlock plug should not exceed 5 m (16 ft.
If the laser system will be used in more that one room or at different
sites, it will be necessary to wire each laser room door with a remote
switch. Extra ¼ inch mono audio plugs are available for purchase.
The interlock plug must be wired as follows:
Shaft: Connect the plug shaft to switch COM.
The interlock plug must be wired as follows (see Figure 4-2):

Installation
• If no handpiece button was pressed and both of handpieces are in the

cradle.
• If both of handpieces are out of their cradles.
If the user selected one handpiece on the screen but removed a different
handpiece from the cradle, the last handpiece used is selected: this
means that removing a handpiece from the cradle overrides the screen
selection.
All the cooling functionality is turned on for the corresponding

handpiece upon selection.
Pulse width and fluence combinations in OptiPulse “AUTO”

mode
Figure 5-18 OptiPulse Auto Mode Treatment Screen
With OptiPulse set to “AUTO” mode, the pulse width for a given
fluence is set to a predetermined value; the pulse width (in ms) will be
equal to half the fluence value displayed on the touchscreen. The
following table shows the fluence and “AUTO” pulse width
combinations across the operating range:
SM-0035630 Rev. A 5-15

Table 5-1: Pulse Width and Fluence Combinations in OptiPulse

Fluence (J/cm2) Pulse Width (ms)
10 5
15 7.5
20 10
25 12.5
30 15
35 17.5
40 20
Note that the pulse width (in ms) is the fluence (in J/cm2) divided by
two. The OptiPulse “AUTO” mode is not available with a fluence
setting above 60 J/cm2. In “30 ms”, “100 ms”, and “400 ms” modes,
the pulse width is fixed at 30 ms, 100 ms, and 400 ms respectively,
independent of the fluence setting.
Skin Cooling with the ET Handpiece

By conductively cooling the skin, the chilled handpiece tip can increase
the tolerated fluence by reducing the temperature-rise in the epidermis
and providing partial anesthesia. Skin cooling with the ChillTip is
highly recommended for all patients being treated with the ET
handpiece, especially in tanned or darker-skinned patients who will
have greater absorption of laser energy in the epidermis than will fair-
skinned patients. Due to the stretching and lower fluences used with the
HS handpiece, contact skin cooling is not necessary.
ET Handpiece Placement and Technique

Typically, the handpiece is positioned using a “pick and place” or
“sliding” technique. For hair removal and treatment of benign
pigmented lesions, the tip is pressed against the skin with moderate
pressure to make good contact and then the laser is fired. For treatment
of leg veins, contact is made with the skin, but no pressure is applied.
For proper epidermal cooling, the chilled sapphire tip should contact
the skin approximately 1/10 – 1/4 second before the pulse. In the “pick
and place” method, the tip is picked up from the skin immediately after
the pulse, moved to the next treatment location, and then lowered
against the skin. In the “sliding” technique, the tip is kept continuously
in contact with the skin and slid to the next treatment location
immediately after the laser pulse.
5-16
Installation
Warning
Ensure that the chilled sapphire tip is in contact with the skin prior
to laser emission. Repetitively pulsed mode should be utilized
only by experienced users, since proper handpiece technique is
essential to ensure tip contact with skin prior to emission.
HS Handpiece Placement and Technique

Typically, the handpiece is positioned using a “pick and place”
technique.
Position the handpiece tip on the target tissue, making a complete seal
prior to pressing the trigger. Once the proper amount of vacuum has
been applied, the laser energy is delivered. Thereafter the vacuum is
released and the handpiece can be repositioned to the next treatment
area.
5.4.4 Laser Calibration

The laser calibration screen is displayed immediately after a handpiece
is selected in the Main screen for the first time after the power has been
turned on. The calibration process initiated in this case is called the
“required calibration” in this section.
The calibration screens are displayed whenever the user initiates the
calibration process by inserting the handpiece that is desired to be
calibrated in its cradle, pressing enable button and pulling the trigger.
The calibration process initiated in this case is called the “user-initiated
calibration” in this section. User-initiated calibration can be done only
when system is in Treatment mode.
The calibration procedure follows the process below:
1. The warning screen instructing the user to put on protective

eyewear is displayed before starting the calibration. This screen
requires user confirmation.
SM-0035630 Rev. A 5-17

Figure 5-19 Protective Eyewear Prompt
2. If the coolant temperature is more than 30°C the system indicates

that the system waits for cooling and does not proceed with the
calibration process until the coolant temperature will be less than
30°C.
3. The system turns the EPI cooler on the ET handpiece or the vacuum
on the HS handpiece off during calibration.
4. The calibration screens guide the user through the process of
calibrating the lasers. The instructions are indicated in graphic form
followed by the text.
5. Whenever the system transitions from ready mode to standby mode
after 25,000 shots have been fired by a handpiece from the time the
power was turned on, the system displays the calibration screen for
that handpiece and requires the user to calibrate that handpiece
before resuming firing treatment shots.
5.4.5 Calibrating the Handpieces

Handpiece calibration is required upon system startup. Calibration is
also recommended prior to each treatment. After calibration, the
treatment screen for the selected handpiece displays on the touchscreen
and the startup procedure is complete.
Energy calibration determines the optical output and verifies that the
pulse energy is within specific tolerances. The calibration procedure
5-18
Installation
consists of measuring the output energy of the laser with a meter

located within the calibration/storage port. The micro controller
automatically sets the laser parameters over the operating range,
determines the electrical parameters, and compares the measured and
expected pulse energies.
If the system is already turned on, the operator may initiate a forced
treatment head calibration from the treatment screen at anytime by
placing the handpiece in the calibration/storage port, enabling the
handpiece, waiting for the status indicator to display “READY”, and
pressing the handpiece trigger.
Calibration is recommended prior to the start of each treatment.
Warning
Warning
The handpiece tip and energy meter window must be clean to
ensure accurate calibration. An unclean tip or window will result
in higher than indicated fluence, which may cause epidermal
damage.
To force calibrate the handpiece, do the following:
1. On the LightSheer Duet startup screen, select the handpiece that

you intend to calibrate.
2. Clean the handpiece tip and energy meter window.
Note
For accurate energy calibration, the handpiece tip and energy meter
window must be clean and free of condensation. If condensation is
present, dry the handpiece tip with a clean, dry gauze pad. If the
handpiece tip or energy meter window is not clean, clean according
to the instructions in the Maintenance chapter of this manual.
Warning
Warning
Never look directly into the laser aperture at the distal end of the
handpiece, even if you are wearing laser safety glasses. Serious
eye injury or blindness could result.
SM-0035630 Rev. A 5-19

3. Insert the handpiece carefully into the calibration/storage port.

4. Remove the handpiece and reinsert it into the calibration port.
5. Verify that the handpiece aperture is pointing downward at the
energy meter and the handpiece fully seated in the calibration/
storage port. A proximity switch will allow laser emission during
calibration only if the tip of the handpiece is located within the
calibration/storage port.
6. The touchscreen displays the calibration sequence and prompts the
user to complete each step (see Figure 5-20 and Figure 5-21).

10. Wait until the system finishes performing the calibration.

11. Once the above conditions have been met, the micro controller
allows the laser to fire the calibration pulses. Progress is displayed
on the touchscreen, and a beeping sound is audible when the laser
fires. If the handpiece is removed from the calibration/storage port
or the handpiece trigger is released before the calibration is
complete, the procedure is immediately stopped and must be
repeated.

12. Release the handpiece trigger.

13. If necessary, clean the handpiece tip and the energy meter window
and repeat the calibration sequence.
14. If an abnormal energy is measured, a screen will prompt you to
clean the handpiece tip and the calibration port window because
contamination or condensation can affect the reading. Carefully
perform the cleaning per the Maintenance chapter of this manual
15. Repeat the calibration for the other handpiece, as needed.

The Main block diagram consists of the following components:
• Martek Power Supply

• Embedded system controller PCB / Base Board
• Driver Board
• GUI controller PCB
• Heat Exchanger Subsystem
• Vacuum Subsystem
• Power detector Assembly
• ET Hand piece
• HS Hand piece
6.2.1 Power Supply

The main purpose of the power supply module is to charge the
capacitor bank and to supply and control power to various sub-systems
of the machine.
Figure 6-3 Power Supply Block Diagram
6-4 SM-0035630 Rev. A

The Power supply can be divided into three sections: the LVPS
delivering power to all the analog and digital circuitry, the analog/
digital I/O control signals, and the HVPS, driving the diode arrays in
the HS and ET hand pieces.
The power input to the power supply is multi ranging from 85VAC –
264 VAC. The power supply is activated upon enabling the Power
supply enable port. In this case, the power supply is enabled only when
the emergency stop key is released and the key switch is turned on.
LVPS: The Low Voltage Power Supply within the Martek power
supply module delivers low voltages required to drive the different
control circuitry.
+3.3VDC @ 2.6 Amps, +5VDC @ 3.5A, +12VDC @ TBD, -12VDC

@ 0.3A Æ Analog and digital control circuitry.
+16.5VDC @ 19A controls the TEC and the EPI pump and 24VDC
supplying power to the coolant pump, valves.
The +3.3V and +5VDC outputs include an over-voltage protection

circuit to protect the computer input against over-voltage conditions.
This feature changes both outputs to 0 V when either load voltage
exceeds 3.75V and 6.25V volts respectively. Cycling the input power
off for ½ minute when the fault is cleared shall restore normal
operation.
The table below gives an overview of the six DC output voltages the
Power supply module delivers to its associated Load.
The voltage for the TEC output maintains the specified output voltage
through a 10% to 100% range of load current. The load characteristics
consist of a 20 kHz square current waveform that is duty factor
modulated from 0% to 100%.

Average Power 105W
A maximum total of 350 Joules of energy is delivered to the two laser

stacks in a 5 to 30 ms or a 100 ms single pulse or six 5ms pulslets
within 100ms. A maximum total of 455 joules is delivered to the two
laser stacks in thirteen 5ms pulslets within 401ms. The symmetrical
rise and fall times are to be between 100µs and 1.0ms. The solid state
laser does not produce light until the current exceeds 8 amperes. The
solid state lasers are arranged as stacks of laser diodes, each having a
maximum 2 volt @ 50A forward voltage drop. The Light Sheer DUET
system drives two of these stacks simultaneously. During its life, up to
10% of the diodes in each stack may fail as a short circuit before the
system fails.
An over current shutdown is provided that interrupts the current flow to

the laser stacks when an over current condition occurs. The threshold
value and the shutdown response time are specified in the Table above.
When this shutdown circuit is activated, the laser power supply output
shall be latched off until power to the unit is cycled off for half a
minute.

Analog and Digital I/0 Interface:

The power supply includes the digital and analog interface to the rest of
the system with different analog and digital control signals as described
in the Tables below.
The digital inputs and outputs are isolated from the laser power supply
and compatible with 5.0 Volt CMOS logic.
The analog inputs and outputs are isolated from voltages within the
laser power supply system. All of the analog inputs have a minimum of
a 100 K input impedance. All of the analog outputs are capable of
driving a minimum impedance of 100 K. A return for both the +12V
and –12V power Supply modules are brought out to pins on the
connector for use as an analog signal reference. These returns are
grounded appropriately on the LUMENIS system controller board.

LASER_SEL
An input control signal that must be isolated from the laser power
supply within the power supply is provided, named LASER_SEL. This
input control signal is used to enable one of two sets of drivers to either
Laser Head 1 or Laser Head 2, but both heads will never be enabled
simultaneously. If the signal that drives the LASER_SEL is sensed set
to a logic low, laser pulse power will be directed to the Laser Assembly
1 pins on the Laser Interface connector when all other requisite
conditions are satisfied. If the signal that drives the LASER_SEL is
sensed set to a logic high, laser pulse power will be directed to the
Laser Assembly 2 pins on the Laser Interface connector when all other
requisite conditions are satisfied.
SEL_MON
This signal monitors and reflects the internal state of the Laser
Selection circuitry. The signal will indicate it is being driven by a
logically low signal when Laser Head 1 has been selected, and will
indicate that it is being driven by a logically high signal when Laser
Head 2 has been selected. The circuit that produces this signal shall
independently monitor the internal state of the selection circuitry and
shall not simply be a feedback of the state of the input control signal.
Electronic Safety Shutter Signal (ESS)

PS_FAULT
An output signal PS_FAULT that is isolated from the laser power
supply is derived from a signal that monitors and reflects the internal
state of the power supply circuitry. The signal will indicate it is being
driven by a logical LOW when there are no faults present within the
power supply. Any internal fault within the power supply such as Over
temperature, Output Short Circuit or Laser Over Current for example
will force the signal driving this to a logic HIGH state. When this fault
circuit is activated, the power supply output shall be latched off until
power to the unit is cycled off for ½minute.

Global Power Supply Enable

A signal pair named GPEN and GPEN_SRC is provided on the power
supply that is isolated from the laser power supply. GPEN_SRC will
provide a current limited source of 5VDC that has a nominal output
source impedance of 100. GPEN_SRC is an always-on voltage source
that is present whenever voltage is present at the universal AC mains of
the power supply. GPEN is an isolated master Global Power Enable
input with a minimum series input resistance of 100.
When GPEN_SRC is fed back to GPEN through a continuous or

momentary switch, and to PS_STATCON2 through a continuous
switch or dry contact, all six of the DC outputs as well as the pulsed
laser supply shall be enabled provided the unit is not shutdown. When
PS_STATCON2 is open circuited, all six DC power supply modules
and the pulsed laser supply shall be disabled and their outputs made
zero volts.
It is desirable for the shutdown function controlled by GPEN to be

implemented as close to the primary AC power source for all of the
modules as practical. PS_STATCON2 is designed in such a way as to
prevent the outputs from dropping out momentarily if it is activated
with a slow turning key switch exhibiting contact bounce, and are
protected from damage by ESD events potentially introduced at the
Key switch.
For convenience GPEN_SRC and STATACON1 are internally

connected. GPEN and PS_STATCON2 are connected together and
then connected to GPEN_SRC through a switch for use as a simple on-
off function.

environment. GUI software will work in communication with
controller software which will provide updates of hardware statuses
and execute requests of hardware states changes sent by GUI software.
Controller Software
Controller software executes on Motorola ColdFire CPU. Controller
software works in communication with GUI software providing
updates of hardware statuses and executing requests of hardware states
changes sent by GUI software.
Controller software works in communication with safety FPGA which

will provide all digital, analog and safety information to controller and
provide services for changing hardware states. Controller software gets
information about critical hardware errors from FPGA, detects non
critical hardware errors and reacts on them disabling some hardware
operations and provides information about errors to GUI. The behavior
of controller software and its requirements are described in the
document LightSheer Duet System Controller Software Specification
P/N SW-0031390.
Communication between GUI and Controller Software

Communication between GUI and controller software will be done on
RS-232 interface working on 57600 baud rate.

provides updates of digital and analog hardware parameters, makes a
critical hardware safety control, provide critical laser safety functional-
ity and laser operation control, realize cooling and temperature control
of the system, make control of vacuum system.
6.3 Cooling System
6.3.1 Heat Exchange SubSystem
Figure 6-8 Heat Exchanger Block Diagram
The Heat Exchanger Subsystem uses 240V and consists of a coolant

pump driven by the driver board. The coolant pump circulates coolant
through the Main TEC coolers which cool the fluid, removing heat
6-26 SM-0035630 Rev. A

from the diode array block from either of the hand pieces, one at a time,
and through the chiller TEC, only in case of the ET head, removing
heat from the hot side of the TEC plate. The heat generated from the
hot side of the main TEC cooler is removed with the help of a heat sink
and then air cooled with the help of a running fan.
In the heat exchanger subsystem, the coolant level, heat sink

temperature and the coolant temperature is monitored for proper
control.
Safety FPGA realizes full control of cooling system operation.

Software can set setpoints of coolant temperature and EPI TEC
temperature.
Figure 6-9 Coolant Flow Diagram
SM-0035630 Rev. A 6-27

Figure 6-9 shows coolant flow paths within the unit and within each of
the ET and HS heads. The coolant pump circulates the coolant from the
reservoir through each of the heads which is controlled with the help of
a two way diverter valve driven by the driver board.
The main heat exchanger helps in cooling the coolant before it is

circulated to each of the heads where it helps in cooling the diode array
block and the chiller TEC hot side of the plate in case of the ET head.
The EPI pump in the ET hand piece helps in circulating the coolant
with in ET head, flowing through the chill tip and the cold side of the
chiller TEC, thus maintaining the chill tip temperature.
The heat generated from the hot side of the main TEC is removed with
the help of a heat sink which is in turn air cooled with the help of a
running fan.
Temperature Setpoints
Coolant temperature setpoint

The default coolant temperature setpoint is19°C. This parameter is hard
coded in GUI software and sent to controller software every time the
system is turned on during startup mode procedure.
Heat exchanger heat sink temperature setpoint

The default Heat exchanger heat sink temperature setpoint is 35°C.
This parameter is hard coded in FPGA.
EPI TEC temperature setpoint

There are two different defaults of EPI TEC temperature setpoints. One
setpoint T1 = 5°C is used when ET H.P. is selected. The other setpoint
T2 = 2°C is used when in Ready mode, where the CHiller is ON, even
if the chiller is pressed. These parameters shall be hard coded in GUI
software and been sent to controller software every time the system is
turned on during startup mode procedure. There should be high and low
alarm temperatures for each setpoint and for EPI off state.
Setpoint High temperature Low Temperature

EPI off (25 ºC) 30 ºC -9 ºC
5 ºC 10 ºC -9 ºC
2 ºC 7 ºC -9 ºC
6-28 SM-0035630 Rev. A

Exceeding the temperature alarm limits alerts the computer and

prevents laser firing.
Temperature readings monitored

FPGA provides coolant, heat exchanger heat sink, cabinet (ambient),
EPI TEC, ET H.P. diodes backplane and HS H.P. diodes backplane
temperature readings to controller. Controller software sends
temperature updates to GUI in Service mode.
6.3.2 Cooling Pump

The cooling pump receives 24V from the High Voltage Power Supply
via the driver board. It cools both handpieces, depending on the
diverter valve, which receives its signal from the baseboard controller.
A constant flow rate pump is used to force coolant (at 19°C) from the
main heat exchanger out to the handpiece and back. The flow rate is
approximately 1.1 liters/minute at 1 bar (0.3gal/min. at 15 psi).
6.3.3 Vacuum Subsystem

and Figure 6-11 illustrates the vacuum block diagram and wiring
diagram.

Figure 6-10 Vacuum Module Block Diagram
6-30 SM-0035630 Rev. A

Figure 6-11 Vacuum Wiring Diagram
SM-0035630 Rev. A 6-31

The vacuum module is used only with the HS handpiece in order to

create suction, drawing the skin into the treatment handpiece. There are
three levels of vacuum intensity: 8, 12, and 18 inHg (user levels low,
med, high).
The vacuum module has the following components:
• air pump with driver board, which supplies 24 VDC (2 phases) to the
air pump. The driver board gets 24 VDC from the system driver
board and converts it to two phases, 12V each.
• four on/off valves and one proportional valve. These are controlled
by the baseboard controller.
• Two pressure sensors; one located on the vacuum module itself, and
one on the HS handpiece.
Vacuum calibration is performed in manufacturing only; no vacuum
calibration is needed in the field.
In Ready mode, the vacuum builds up to the selected pressure,

indicated by the blinking green LED. When the vacuum has reached its
selected pressure, the green LED turns off.

6.3.4 ET & HS Handpiece & Power Detector Assembly
Figure 6-12 Handpieces and Power Detectors Diagram
SM-0035630 Rev. A 6-33

Handpieces and Their Cradles

The following information is stored in each handpiece:
• Handpiece serial number

• Handpiece production date
• Number of pulses
It is not possible for the user or service technician to modify any of this
information.
Handpiece Selection
Each handpiece is in one of two states: selected or non-selected.
Only one handpiece can be selected at any time.
Both handpieces are deselected if an error occurs, and remain so as

long as the error is in effect.
A handpiece becomes deselected when it becomes fully seated in its

cradle.
A handpiece becomes selected (and the other handpiece deselected) if

the system is in ready state, no errors are in effect, and either of the
following happens:
• The handpiece is removed from its cradle.

• The handpiece’s enable button is pressed, whether or not the
handpiece is in its cradle.
If both handpieces are removed from their cradles, no handpiece is
selected and an error message is displayed.
If one handpiece is disconnected, the system shall operate normally

with the other handpiece. The system operates as if the disconnected
handpiece was fully seated in its cradle.

Trigger
Figure 6-13 ET Handpiece
The ET handpiece consists of the diode laser array (multiple

semiconductor lasers), an optical path to deliver the laser light to the
patient skin, a cooling system (described in section 6.3), and a trigger
switch to activate laser pulses. All of the components are contained
within the handpiece covers. The handpiece is connected to the system
console via the umbilical cord.
Optical System Components

The optical system components of the handpiece include the following:
(refer to Figure 6-13):
1. Laser Diode Array - The laser diode array consists of two parallel
columns (side A and side B) of five banks of diode modules each.
Each diode module consists of 7 diode bars, and each diode bar
contains approximately 19 diode junctions. A cylindrical micro lens
to collimate the laser beams covers each diode bar. The array is
mounted to the Diode Back Plane Heat Exchanger, which removes
the heat generated by the current flow through the diode bars.
SM-0035630 Rev. A 6-35

2. Fresnel Lens - A Fresnel lens is used to collect the collimated

laser light from the laser diode array and direct the light towards the
sapphire tip.
3. Condenser - a highly polished gold plated wave-guide (condenser)
is used to direct any scattered laser light from the Fresnel lens and
deliver it to the sapphire tip.
4. Sapphire Tip (EPI or ChillTip) - A 9mm x 9mm (cubic) sapphire
lens acts as the output aperture of the Handpiece. Laser light is
transmitted through the sapphire tip to the patient skin. The tip is
wrapped in the EPI cooling loop to maintain a tip temperature in the
range of 5ºC ± 2ºC (or 2ºC ± 2ºC while the handpiece trigger is
depressed).
5. Trigger - A trigger switch is pulled to command the laser to fire.
The trigger switch is active whenever the laser is in the Treatment
Mode and the shutter is open (footswitch down). The trigger
remains active as long as no faults are detected and the footswitch
remains depressed. When the trigger is pulled the laser fires, if the
enable button is active, no errors are present, and other conditions
permit. If repeated exposure is selected the laser continues to fire at
the selected rate until either the trigger is released or an error
occurs.
6. Enable Button - This button has two functional states: active and
inactive. It has two physical states: pressed and not pressed. The
physical state of this button is monitored by the CPU. The
functional state is controlled by the FPGA. When this button is
pressed its functional state toggles between active and inactive.
When the functional state is active the button is lit; otherwise it is
unlit.
When the functional state of either the ET enable button or the HS

enable button is active the electronic shutter will be open; otherwise
it will be closed. When the functional state is active, it remains so
for 30 seconds after the button is pressed, or until at least one shot is
fired and the trigger is released in which case the 30 sec timer
restarts. If an error is present the functional state is set to inactive
and remains so as long as the error is in effect.
7. SPI Flash - ET handpiece will have SPI flash that will store
handpiece serial number, production date, calibration data and
number of pulses.
8. ET Handpiece Cradle - The cradle has two switches (called the
proximity switches) that are active when the handpiece is fully
seated in the cradle, and are inactive otherwise. It also has a
calibrated laser energy sensor. The control CPU monitors the state
6-36 SM-0035630 Rev. A

of the proximity switches. If the control CPU senses that the

handpiece becomes removed from its cradle, the handpiece
becomes selected.

Figure 6-15 HS Handpiece Sectional View
The HS handpiece consists of the diode laser array (multiple

semiconductor lasers), an optical path to deliver the laser light to the
patient skin, a cooling system (as described in section 6.3), and a
trigger switch to activate laser pulses. All of the components are
contained within the handpiece covers. The handpiece is connected to
The system console via the umbilical cord.
The laser diode array consists of two parallel columns (side A and side
B) of three banks of diode modules each. Each diode module consists
of 10 diode bars, and each diode bar contains approximately 19 diode
junctions. A cylindrical micro lens to collimate the laser beams covers
each diode bar. The array is mounted to the Diode Back Plane Heat
Exchanger, which removes the heat generated by the current flow
through the diode bars.
6-38 SM-0035630 Rev. A

Enable Button
• This button has two functional states: active and inactive.
• It has two physical states: pressed and not pressed.
• The physical state of this button is monitored by the CPU.
• The functional state is controlled by the FPGA.
• When this button is pressed and its functional state is inactive, it goes
to the vacuum-enabled state.
• When the functional state is active the button is lit.
• When the functional state is vacuum-enabled the button blinks.
• When the functional state is inactive the button is unlit.
If an error is present the functional state is set to inactive and remains
so as long as the error is in effect.
When the functional state is vacuum-enabled, vacuum is applied to the

target tip.
When the vacuum has reached the requested level, the button is set to
active state.
The active button remains so for 30 seconds or until at least one shot is
fired and the trigger is released, whichever comes first, in which case
the 30 sec timer restarts.
When the functional state of either the ET enable button or the HS
enable button is active the electronic shutter opens; otherwise it is
closed.
If the functional state becomes inactive, the vacuum is released.
Trigger
When the trigger is pulled and the requested vacuum level has reached,
the laser fires if the enable button is active, no errors are present, and
other conditions permit.
If repeated exposure is selected the laser continues to fire at the

selected rate until either the trigger is released or an error occurs.
SPI flash
HS handpiece will have SPI flash that will store handpiece serial
number, production date, calibration data and number of pulses.
HS Handpiece Cradle
SM-0035630 Rev. A 6-39

The cradle has two switches (called the proximity switches) that are
active when the handpiece is fully seated in the cradle, and are inactive
otherwise. It also has a calibrated laser energy sensor.
The CPU monitors the state of the proximity switches. If the CPU
senses that the handpiece becomes removed from its cradle, the
handpiece becomes selected.
Electronic Shutter
The electronic shutter is a system independent of the laser power
supply or laser current control hardware that can prevent the system
from generating laser pulses. If the electronic shutter is in a state that
prevents laser pulses it is “closed”; otherwise it is said to be “open”.
The software is able to control the electronic shutter; it senses whether

the electronic shutter is open or closed.
In Treatment mode, if the system finds the shutter is not in its

commanded state, it goes to standby and sets an error. If any error
condition is present in Treatment mode the safety shutter closes.
Laser Diode Array

The laser diode array consists of two parallel columns (side A and side
B) of three banks of diode modules each. Each diode module consists
of 10 diode bars, and each diode bar contains approximately 19 diode
junctions. A cylindrical micro lens to collimate the laser beams covers
each diode bar. The array is mounted to the Diode Back Plane Heat
Exchanger, which removes the heat generated by the current flow
through the diode bars.

• To enable the system to select optimal treatment parameters for
every patient, according to the specific parameters input by the user.
• To control the system's operation and to prevent the occurrence of
safety hazards.
• To check and perform calibration.
• To perform diagnostics
6.4.1 Main Screen

Once startup has completed the Main Screen is displayed (see Figure
6-17). The Main Screen provides the following controls:
• HS Handpiece Selection Button

• ET Handpiece Selection Button
• Utility Screen Button
• Off Button
Figure 6-17 Main Screen
SM-0035630 Rev. A 6-41

6.4.2 Handpiece Selection

Handpiece selection is done by doing one of the following:
• select a handpiece from the screen by pressing the corresponding

icon on the Main Screen
• remove the handpiece from its cradle.
If no handpiece icon was pressed and both handpieces are in the cradle
– no handpiece is selected.
If both of handpieces are out of cradle – no handpiece is selected.
If the user selected one handpiece on the screen but removed another
handpiece from its cradle, the one lifted from the cradle is selected.
The cooling functionality is turned on for the corresponding handpiece

upon selection.
6.4.3 Laser Calibration

The laser calibration screens are displayed immediately after a
handpiece is selected in the Main screen for the first time after the
power has been turned on. The calibration process initiated in this case
is called the “required calibration”.
The heads calibration can also be performed whenever the user initiates
a calibration within the treatment screen and in the ready state by
placing the head in its cradle, pressing the enable button and pulling the
trigger.
The calibration process initiated in this case is called the “user-initiated

calibration” in this section. User-initiated calibration can be done only
when the system is in Treatment mode.
The warning screen instructing user to put on protective eyewear is

displayed before starting the calibration. This screen requires user
confirmation.
If the coolant temperature is more than 30°C the system indicates that
the system waits for cooling and will not proceed with the calibration
process until the coolant temperature is less than 30°C.
The system turns the EPI cooler on the ET handpiece or the vacuum on
the HS handpiece off during calibration.
6-42 SM-0035630 Rev. A

The calibration screens guide the user through the process of calibrat-
ing the lasers. They instruct the user to calibrate the head after a total of
25,000 shots have been fired by a handpiece from the time the power
was on and the system then displays calibration screen for that
handpiece whenever the system transitions from ready mode to
standby. The user must then calibrate the hand piece before resuming
firing treatment shots.
Calibrating the Handpieces

Handpiece calibration is required upon system startup. Calibration is
also recommended prior to each treatment. After calibration, the
treatment screen for the selected handpiece displays on the touchscreen
and the startup procedure is complete.
Energy calibration determines the optical output and verifies that the
pulse energy is within specific tolerances. The calibration procedure
consists of measuring the output energy of the laser with a meter
located within the calibration/storage port. The microcontroller
automatically sets the laser parameters over the operating range,
determines the electrical parameters, and compares the measured and
expected pulse energies. If the system is already turned on, the operator
may initiate a recalibration from the treatment screen at any time by
placing the handpiece in the calibration/storage port, enabling the
handpiece, waiting for the status indicator to display “READY”, and
pressing the handpiece trigger. Calibration is recommended prior to the
start of each treatment.
To calibrate the handpieces, do the following:
1. On the Startup screen, select the handpiece you intend to calibrate.

2. Clean the handpiece tip and energy meter window.
3. For accurate energy calibration, the handpiece tip and energy meter
window must be clean and free of condensation. If condensation is
present, dry the handpiece tip with a clean, dry gauze pad. If the
handpiece tip or energy meter window is not clean, clean according
to the instructions in the Maintenance chapter of this manual.
Warning
Never look directly into the laser aperture at the distal end of the
handpiece, even if you are wearing laser safety glasses. Serious
eye injury or blindness could result.
SM-0035630 Rev. A 6-43

4. Insert the handpiece carefully into the calibration/storage port.

5. Remove the handpiece and reinsert it into the calibration port.
6. Verify that the handpiece aperture is pointing downward at the
energy meter and the handpiece is fully seated in the calibration/
storage port. A proximity switch will allow laser emission during
calibration only if the tip of the handpiece is located within the
calibration/storage port.
7. The touchscreen displays the calibration sequence and prompts the
user to complete each step.
Figure 6-18 Prompts to Calibrate HS/ET Handpieces
8. Press the Enable button on the handpiece to enable the handpiece.
Figure 6-19 Enable and Trigger Button Locations
6-44 SM-0035630 Rev. A

9. When the enable icon appears (flashing arrow pointing at the

enable button - see Figure 6-20), press the handpiece enable button
to enable the laser.
Figure 6-20 Enable Icon
10. Depress and hold down the handpiece trigger.
Warning
While operating the LIGHTSheer DUET system, never look
directly into the laser aperture at the distal end of the handpiece,
even if you are wearing laser safety glasses. Serious eye injury
or blindness could result.
11. When the trigger icon appears (flashing arrow pointing at the
trigger - see Figure 6-21), press the handpiece trigger to fire the
laser. Keep the handpiece trigger depressed until all calibration
shots are fired as indicated by the progress bar.
Figure 6-21 Flashing Arrow Indicating Trigger
12. Wait until the system finishes performing the calibration.

13. Once the above conditions have been met, the microcontroller
allows the laser to fire the calibration pulses. Progress is displayed
on the touchscreen (see Figure 6-22), and a beeping sound will be
audible when the laser fires. If the handpiece is removed from the
calibration/storage port or the handpiece trigger is released before
SM-0035630 Rev. A 6-45

the calibration is complete, the procedure is immediately stopped

and must be repeated.
Figure 6-22 Calibration Progress Bar
14. Release the handpiece trigger.

15. If necessary, clean the handpiece tip and the energy meter window
16. If an abnormal energy is measured, a screen will prompt you to
clean the handpiece tip and the calibration port window because
contamination or condensation can affect the reading. Carefully
perform the cleaning per the Maintenance chapter of this manual
17. Repeat the calibration for the other handpiece, as needed.
18. After calibration is completed, the treatment screen is displayed and
normal operation can proceed.
In compliance with national and international regulations, additional

details of the calibration procedure are provided in the Maintenance
chapter of this manual, although this information is intended for
authorized service personnel only.
6.4.4 Treatment Screen Common Functions

C H A P T E R
TESTS, CALIBRATIONS & MAINTENANCE
7.1 Introduction
This section contains procedures for the field checks and adjustments
required to maintain the LIGHTSheer DUET™ Diode Laser System.
The procedures assume the reader has successfully completed a
Lumenis certification training course on the LIGHTSheer DUET™
Diode Laser System. The information in this manual is subject to
update by Technical Note (TN), Field Change Order (FCO), and
service manual revisions.
When any preventive maintenance is performed on the LIGHTSheer

DUET™ Diode Laser System, the system must pass all portions of the
Operational and Safety Checklist (‘Operational and Safety Check’ on
page 5-11) before the system is returned to the user.
The procedures should be performed in the order presented, from

beginning to end. If only a portion of the procedure is done, the FSE
must consider the possible effect of doing just that portion of the
procedure (i.e., there may be adjustments done earlier or later in the
procedure that impact or are impacted by the portion performed). The
different checks and calibrations to be done on the unit are:
• ‘Internal System Test’ on page 7-3

• ‘Cooling System Checks’ on page 7-6
• ‘Power Meter Detector Factor Calibration’ on page 7-10
• ‘Post-Fire Checks and Measurements’ on page 7-13
• ‘Final Check ’ on page 7-14
SM-0035630 Rev. A 7-1

7.1.1 Safety
• High voltage is accessible during testing.
• When firing, the handpiece must be in the calibration port or a laser
containment enclosure, with protective eyewear to prevent injury as
a result of the laser bouncing off a reflective surface or any person
entering the test area unexpectedly without proper safety eyewear.
• Keep the work area and floor space dry to prevent injury. When a
handpiece is removed from its console connector, less than 1cc will
still drip from the cooling system connections.
• Laser safety glasses (50-04082-00 or equivalent) are needed for
testing.
7.1.2 Required Tools

• Nova Power meter display
• Ophir FL-250A-SH meter head
• Vacuum measurement tool
• Temperature measurement tool
For photos of the required tools, see Chapter 10, Spare Parts.
Ensure there are no leaks where the handpiece connects to the test
Preparation
station and any wet areas are cleaned up.
The Checks on the Light Sheer Duet can be classified under the
following:
1. Internal System tests

2. Calibration tests
3. Thermal tests
4. Final Tests

POT 1 on the baseboard until the reading in the Service screen is
exactly the same as the reading displayed on the temperature meter.
Note
Only one quick adjustment to POT1 should be made. Fine
adjustments after the one quick adjustment will only cause the
system to stay out of calibration.
7-6
Note
If the cooling system is out of the 3°C tolerance, complete at least
one iteration of the calibration. Restart the system and continue this
process until the cooling system is within the tolerance range and the
pump remains on. Once the pump shuts off, it will not restart, even
though the out of temperature range error is cleared.

7.7 Periodic Maintenance

The only regular user-performed maintenance required for the
LIGHTSheer DUET™ Diode Laser System is periodic cleaning of the
handpiece output lens, energy meter window, touch screen, and
console.
To ensure proper system performance, it is required that a complete

system inspection and energy meter calibration check be performed
annually by a certified field service technician or by returning the
system to the factory.
All service and repair should be performed only by the factory or by a

Lumenis certified field service technician.
7.7.1 Preventive Maintenance Check List

1. Perform a visual inspection of the laser console exterior, and power
cord. Check for signs of wear & tear, contamination, and visible
damage.
2. Perform a visual inspection of the delivery system (umbilical cord
and handpiece). Check for signs of wear & tear, contamination, and
visible damage. Repair or replace damaged parts.
3. With system turned off, clean:
• handpiece output lens with lens tissue wetted with methanol
(for HS TBD)
• energy meter window with soft cloth wetted with methanol or
commercial glass cleaner
• touch screen with soft cloth wetted with commercial glass
cleaner (do not spray glass cleaner directly on display – spray
glass cleaner on cloth).
Warning
Clean the touchscreen regularly to ensure proper performance.
Excessive treatment oil, gel, lotion, or other contaminants on the
touchscreen may cause erratic operation of the user interface
buttons.
• console with cloth wetted with Cavicide® or Virex™
4. Remove the console cover, being careful not to damage the Energy
Meters and Proximity sensor wires and connectors, and perform a
7-22
visual inspection of the internal components. Check for signs of

wear, contamination, and visible damage. Repair or replace
damaged parts. Remove any accumulation of dirt or dust
(especially in and around the heat exchanger cooling fans).
5. Drain the main cooling loop, clean the coolant particle filter screen,
and refill with fresh coolant.
6. Perform ‘Operational and Safety Check’ on page 5-11.

TROUBLESHOOTING
8.1 Introduction
Warning
This equipment generates high voltages and emits pulsed
laser and light of high intensity which can cause serious
personal injury if handled improperly.
Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or repair

procedures, turn off the system and disconnect it from the
mains power, unless the procedure to be followed
necessitates otherwise.
This chapter assists the Service Technician to identify, diagnose and

repair the fault in the event of a malfunction. Except for the corrective
actions that are listed in the LIGHTSheer DUET operator's manual, no
attempt should be made by the end user to repair the system or any of
its sub-systems.
SM-0035630 Rev. A 8-1

8.1.1 Definitions
• Error: An occurrence within the system that requires the system to
go to Standby (or Service Standby), discontinue firing the laser, and
close the safety shutter.
• Event: An occurrence within the system that must be called to the

user’s attention. There are two types of events: advisory conditions
and errors.
Note
In the following discussion, depending on context, the word
“event” can mean “error or event”. When an event or error
occurs, the system displays the unique name or identification
of the event, and gives an audible indication. The system may
also display a descriptive message, and may also display
suggestions for corrective action.
8.1.2 System Error Types

There are five error types in the system:
Resetable error messages types

• Type1 - Error message is displayed on the controller’s LED, sent to
the GUI and logged into the error log file. Type 1 errors are not

Non-Resetable error messages type

GUI and logged into the error log file. Laser power supply is turned
off. Vacuum pump, cooling pump, EPI cooling is turned off. Error
message is displayed on the GUI Error screen. Controller goes to
sleep mode. GUI remains in Error mode until power is turned off
unless the hardware service switch is not toggled and the message
prompting GUI to switch to Service mode is sent by controller.
Type 5 errors are related to CPU memory corruption errors, voltage
errors and FPGA malfunction errors.
8.1.3 Handpiece Dependency on System’s Response

to Events
There is handpiece dependency in the system’s response to an event.
Some of the events are ignored if they are handpiece-specific and the
other handpiece is selected. The controller masks such events. There
are three options of handpiece selection:
• HS hand piece selected (HSHP)

• ET hand piece selected (ETHP)
• NO hand piece selected (NOHP)
8.1.4 Mode Dependency on System’s Response to

Events
The GUI displays errors in different ways depending on the system
operation mode.
Errors of type 4 and 5 are always displayed on error screen; errors of

type 2 or 3 could be displayed as a message window or message on the
current screen. There are 4 possible types of error display:
• ALL MODES – displays as an error in all modes

• CALIB MESSAGE – displays as a message on calibration screen
• TREAT MESSAGE – display as a message on treatment screen
• LOG – does not display.
SM-0035630 Rev. A 8-3

In Treatment or Calibration mode the system stops firing the laser

within 100 ms of the occurrence of any error of type 3, 4 or 5. The GUI
displays error or warning screens depending on system mode and error
type.
8.2 Start-up and Self-Test

Upon power-on, the software shall initialize and test the system as
described below.
If errors are detected during the system initialization, the appropriate

error message is displayed on the controller board LED display and the
control CPU halts.
8.2.1 Check Integrity of ROM data

The controller checks and verifies the integrity of the data in its ROM.
Data integrity is verified by calculating the CRC of all data in ROM
except for the location in which the correct CRC value is stored, and
comparing the calculated value with the correct value. If the stored and
calculated CRC values are not identical, the system sets a permanent
error and displays the calculated CRC value on controller board LED
display.
8.2.2 Check RAM Integrity

The controller verifies the ability of its RAM to store and retrieve data
without error.
8.2.3 Check SPI Flash Integrity

The controller verifies that data stored in SPI flash in each handpiece is
correct by calculating a checksum.
8.2.4 Hardware Test on Startup

No hardware is tested during startup.
8-4
Troubleshooting
8.2.5 Start-up Display

As early as possible in the startup procedure the system displays the
startup screen.
8.2.6 POST Start-up

No controls are displayed or have any effect while the startup and self
test is in progress.
If errors are detected during the POST, the software displays Error
messages with numeric codes at the completion of the POST.
SM-0035630 Rev. A 8-5

8.3 Troubleshooting Guide

Error messages of all types shall be divided in 15 major categories
specific to the mechanism/module associated with the error. Each of
them could have different number of errors of different types.
Error: An occurrence within the system that requires the system to go

to Standby (or Service Standby), discontinue firing the laser, and close
the safety shutter.Type 4 and 5 are errors
Event: An occurrence within the system that must be called to the

user’s attention. There are two types of events: advisory conditions and
errors.Type 1, 2 and 3 are events
Note
Bad contacts or leaks within the system can cause any of these
errors to appear sporadically and hence the unit should be checked
for any of these conditions prior to replacing any part.
An Error Message table is comprised of:
• Heading Heading number and category specific to the

mechanism/module associated with the error.
• Error Code The Error Code number
• Message The message displayed on the system console
• Error Type Defines the error as one of the 5 types (see
‘System Error Types’ on page 8-2).
• Description Describes the error and the probable causes of the
error message in descending order of likelihood.
• LED Indicates LEDs that are lit when the error occurs.
• Corrective Action Provides the corrective action for each probable
cause and following each Symptom/Check entry.
