6.2.3 Calibration
The Odyssey Navigator Laser uses solid-state circuitry to continuously monitor the power output, and adjusts the
power supplied to the laser module to keep the output consistent with the user defined setting. If output levels are
more than ± 20% of the set value, the unit is designed to shut down power to the laser, and an audible alarm will
sound. If this happens, the unit should be turned off and allowed to sit for 5 minutes and turned on again. If the
laser then performs without beeping, the microprocessor has been able to make operational adjustments and the
unit will perform its functions. If, upon restart, the unit continues to beep, the unit will need to be sent in for adjust-
ment by a Ivoclar Vivadent, Inc., Service Department.
We suggest that your practice establish an internal calibration program for your laser. Recalibration is recommended
a minimum of once per year based on average usage. Recalibration may be performed by the manufacturer by
returning the unit. In the alternative, you may purchase a calibrated hand held power meter approved for use with
810nm devices to check power output. The laser should be set at 1, 2 and 3 Watts with output checked at each
level. The output display should be within 20% of the meter reading. If not, recleave the fiber and re-check. If the
output display is still outside the 20% tolerance, return the unit to the manufacturer for recalibration. There are no
methods available for the user to adjust the calibration of the unit and the unit chassis must not be removed by the
user for any reason.
6.2.4 Battery Use
The Odyssey Navigator diode laser is supplied with a rechargeable lithium polymer battery which optimally provides
up to 45 minutes continuing lasing time or 8 hours stand-by time i.e. laser on, not being charged by cradle or AC
power cord. If you find the battery runs the laser for 30 minutes or less after being charged for several hours, the
battery may need replacing. A replacement battery can be ordered. To remove the battery, press on the center but-
ton while sliding the battery downward, then lift away from the unit. Install the new battery by placing it onto the
back of the laser, the sliding upward until the lock clicks in place. The new battery must be charged overnight prior
to using the laser.
6.3 HANDPIECE STERILIZATION
6.3.1 Handpiece Components
For sterilization, the handpiece has two (2) components:
1. handpiece and fiber assembly (Fig 6.3.1a)
2. handpiece sleeve (Fig. 6.3.1b)
