After buying a medical laser, the next important stop is knowing how to take good care of it. Proper routine medical laser maintenance ensures that your equipment keeps in tip top condition and that you can escape more expensive repairs and downtimes. Although MedLaserUSA provides top-shelf medical laser repair and maintenance services, there is a lot that you can do to keep your laser equipment in shape. To help, here are some pointers as to what you can do.

Check the power supply

For your medical laser to work properly, the lasing medium needs to be stimulated to emit photons at specific wavelengths. A damaged or malfunctioning battery will cause issues in the generation of stimulated emissions of radiation. It is important to have a dedicated power line and medical grade power outlets.

Laser Cavity

The laser cavity is the lifeblood of your medical laser equipment. It comprises the crystal, HR mirror, and output coupler, or some other configuration. To keep away problems, monitor your power output overtime, and keep away heat. The power supply can also be overworked by an aged, dirty laser cavity, resulting in lasing medium stimulation errors. Get it checked by professionals at MedLaserUSA once every six months to keep problems at bay.

Delivery optics

Your medical laser delivery optics usually comprise a hand piece, fiber focus lens, and in some instances, a mirror train.  Diminished output or calibration errors may result from delivery optics and beam path issues. Replace distance gauges and blast shield windows more frequently and also take care not to drop your hand piece.

Beam Path optics

While some medical lasers have optics between the delivery optics and laser cavity, others simply feature a fiber focus lens. Make sure to clean the mirrors in the arm after a while and keep the room free from dust.
