CONTROLS, OPERATION & USE
07 - PRESET PROCEDURE SETTINGS
The Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser has 20 preset procedures listed under three categories: General Dentistry, Orthodontics, and Hygiene. Within each category are the most commonly used
procedures with suggested power settings. Aways use the minimum amount of power necessary to perform a particular procedure. Manual power adjustment may be necessary depending on
patient and procedural needs.

All Power Settings are shown in Average Power.
08 - CUSTOMIZING PRESET PROCEDURE SETTINGS
The Gemini laser's preset procedure settings can be customized. To save your own procedure setting, press PROCEDURES (Figure 1.2) once to bring up preset procedures on the display and navigate to
the procedure you would like to customize.
When a particular procedure is highlighted, press and hold PROCEDURES for 3 seconds.
You will hear two audible beeps and the Power Indicator and Power Dial will start flashing on the display. Use UP/DOWN or LEFT/RIGHT (Figure 1.2, Options: 6, 13, 5, 7) to adjust the new average power
to the desired setting.
To save the setting, press and hold the PROCEDURES key for 3 seconds. You will hear two audible beeps when the setting has been saved.
To reset all preset procedure settings to the factory default, press PROCEDURES once to bring up preset procedures on the display, then press and hold the PROCEDURES key for 10 seconds. You will
hear three audible beeps when the settings are reset.

09 - DISPOSABLE TIP OPERATION

The disposable fiber tip is relatively flexible, but can be broken if bent at an angle that is too sharp. Use the provided Bending Tool to bend the tip to the desired angle. Do not bend the tip any more
than the Bending Tool allows.
Protein debris from gingival tissue accumulates on the fiber tip during surgery, and the extreme heat that develops will deteriorate the optical efficiency. Fibers can fracture if a blackened area greater
than 3-4 mm develops.
Replace the disposable, single-use fiber optic tip as necessary and for each new patient. The tips are provided in a sealed package. Each tip contains a pre-cleaved, pre-stripped piece of fiber. They are
designed for single-use only and must be discarded after use. (Figures: 4.1 - 4.4)

10 - INITIATION OF FIBER TIPS

Gemini's 5mm single-use fiber tips are unique in that they come pre-initiated. That means there is black pigment added to the end of each fiber tip to help focus laser energy at the tip. All procedures
that require the removal or cutting of soft tissue require an initiated tip. There are some procedures that call for an un-initiated tip, such as Aphthous Ulcer treatment where no tissue is being
removed.
To ensure that the tip stays initiated when wiping the tip with isopropyl alcohol before a procedure, activate and fire the laser at 1 watt of average power for 1-2 seconds prior to wiping the tip. This
action will ensure that the pre-initiation does not wipe off during the cleaning process.
When a procedure calls for an uninitiated tip, simply rub off the pigment at the end of the Fiber Tip with gauze and isopropyl alcohol. This pigment removal must occur before firing the laser.
Gemini's 7mm single-use fiber tips come uninitiated. Laser procedures that do not remove tissue, such as decontamination or the treatment of aphthous ulcers, do not require the laser tip to be
initiated. One way to initiate the tip is to rub the tip on articulating film while firing the laser on a low power setting. (Figure: 4.5)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all soft-tissue procedures require an initiated—or darkened—tip and contact with tissue. Those procedures that do not require tissue contact will use a fiber tip
that is NOT initiated, because to be effective in non-contact mode, laser energy must flow unimpeded from the tip into the target tissues. Follow the procedure above to uninitiate a fiber tip.

11 - TIP ILLUMINATION

The Gemini 810 + 980 diode laser's handpiece is equipped with a tip illumination light to provide better visibility of the surgical site during treatment. To toggle the light intensity between LOW, HIGH, and
DISABLED, touch the TIP ILLUMINATION selection on the keypad. The LED will only stay on for 3 seconds when not in active mode.
Please note that the tip illumination light will only be permanently visible when laser is in Active mode. (Figure: 1.2, Options: 2, 12)

12- SOUND

The system's default sound volume level is Medium. Touch the SOUND selection on the keypad to bring up the sound levels. Adjust the sound level by touching the UP and DOWN arrow on the keypad. To
exit, touch any key on the keypad. This will confirm and save your selection. The system remembers the last used sound setting when it is powered on. (Figure: 1.2, Option: 9)
