5. Remove your foot from the foot pedal and touch the Ready button to place the Laser in Standby Mode until
you are ready to start another procedure.
6. Remove the unit dose fiber tip and dispose in a suitable biowaste Sharps disposal.
7. Remove the handpiece sleeve only and follow the autoclave instructions.
8. If you are not going to be starting another procedure, return back to the Main Menu and press Logout. It is
now safe to turn the power button to the OFF position.
9. Record the Powers and total lasing times used for each procedure in the patient’s chart.
Example:
Patient Name: Mary Jones
Procedure: Gingivectomy # 6 and # 7
#6 Lasing time 90 seconds @ 2.0 Watts CW air cooled, 810 nm wavelength
#7 Lasing time 60 seconds @ 1.5 Watts CW air / water spray, 810 nm wavelength
5.4.13 Odyssey Navigator Self Diagnostic and Monitoring
When the Odyssey Navigator Laser’s microprocessor detects an issue with performance it will immediately notify you
by way of an audible beep. There are two different ways in which the Odyssey Navigator will alert you to any issues:
1. Continuous audible beep when foot pedal is engaged. If you are operating the Odyssey Navigator with the foot
pedal engaged and the Odyssey Navigator emits a constant audible beep and stops the beep when you release
the foot pedal, the microprocessor has determined that the laser power output has fallen below the set level. In
this event the Odyssey Navigator Laser should be turned off and allowed to sit for 5 minutes then turned on
again. If the Odyssey Navigator then performs without beeping, the microprocessor has been able to make
operational adjustments to the laser and the unit will perform its functions. If, however, upon restart the unit
continues to beep when the foot pedal is engaged, the microprocessor was unable to adjust the unit enough
and the unit will need to be sent in for adjustment.
2. Continuous audible beep when the unit is turned on. If you are operating the Odyssey Navigator and it emits a
constant audible beep whether or not the foot pedal is engaged, the microprocessor has determined that the
laser has either low power or a general fault has occurred. In this event the Odyssey Navigator Laser should be
turned off allowed to sit for 5 minutes and turned on again. If the Odyssey Navigator then performs without
beeping the microprocessor has been able to make operational adjustments to the laser and the unit will per
form its functions. If, however, upon restart the unit continues to beep, the microprocessor was unable to adjust
the unit enough and the unit will need to be sent in for adjustment.
