CLINICAL PRECAUTIONS
General Precautions
Only operators who have been trained in the use of lasers and are thoroughly
familiar with this Operator Manual should use the DIOMED DELTA 15/30. The
information provided in this section is not intended to be all-inclusive and it is not
intended to replace operator training or experience. Please contact DIOMED Ltd.
or your DIOMED DELTA 15/30 distributor for training materials available on the
use of this equipment.
Although it is difficult to specify the effect that the use of the diode laser will have
in each therapeutic situation, it is possible to give a general overview as to what
the clinician might expect when using the DIOMED DELTA 15/30. The exact
effect depends upon the chosen procedure and, especially when using the laser
with manual settings, the Power/Fluence setting, Pulse Duration, Pulse Interval,
Spot size (if applicable) and the tissue type being treated.
The diode laser may cause tissue damage if improperly used. Precautions, such
as careful assessment of the target tissue during treatment and the use of
appropriate Power/Fluence and Pulse Duration, should be taken. Use low
Power/Fluence and short Pulse Duration settings until fully familiar with the
instrument’s capabilities.
Starting at low powers, the operator should note the effect on the tissue and
increase Power/Fluence, Pulse Duration or treatment time until the desired effect
is obtained.
Specific parameters are not recommended, but are left to operator preference
and best medical judgement dependent on the particular application.
The diode laser may not be effective for coagulation for severe haemorrhages.
The operator must be prepared to control haemorrhages with strident, alternative
non-laser techniques. In contact surgery, the tissue interaction with the DIOMED
DELTA 15/30 laser is similar to Nd:YAG laser. In non-contact surgery the diode
laser wavelength, 810nm, penetrates less in most pigmented tissue types and
blood than the Nd:YAG laser wavelength.

Precautions for use with a handpiece
Starting at low powers, the operator should note the effect on the tissue and
increase Fluence or Pulse Duration until the desired effect is obtained.
The laser can cause epidermal injury. The risk increases with greater laser
Fluence and skin pigmentation.
Specific parameters are not recommended, but are left to operator preference
and best medical judgement dependent on the particular application.
It is strongly recommended that the physician should carry out a small, discrete
test patch at the chosen settings prior to undertaking full treatment.
Extreme care should be taken when patients have a recently acquired sun tan, or
have a naturally dark skin colour.
