The device includes a Ho:Yag laser source with 35W max output power at 2100 nm wavelength. The optical delivery system is an optical fiber. The HYPHO Laser System is designed with six major sub-systems, including: (1) Power Supply: a high voltage power supply, which converts and rectifies the AC mains current to provide regulated power for the flash lamp simmer current and main triggering pulse; (2) Cooling System: a cooling system consisting of an internal water flow circuit together with water-to-air heat exchanger; (3) Laser System: a Ho:YAG laser rod, capable of generating laser pulses at 2100 nm wavelength and a frequency up to 30 Hz; (4) Delivery System: an optical delivery system, interfacing the energy from the laser to the patient via an optical fiber and surgical hand piece. A RFID recognition system is included to read the fiber diameter and the number of reuses directly from the fiber equipped with the suitable transponder; (5) PC embedded with 7" display and Control Electronics which regulates the functions of the laser and allows parameter selection by the user, (6) Optical fibers (Hyper optical fibers) equipped with the transponder for recognition of core diameter and for the management of number of reuses. In addition to the six subsystems, the HYPHO Laser System incorporates several safety features, including a remote interlock, an emergency red push button, a footswitch and a key switch. Moreover, the system features two laser emission indicators: a Led stripe located on the top of the frontal panel and a buzzer. The led stripe is green in READY mode and blue in EMISSION mode. The buzzer sounds during laser emission. The HYPHO Laser System is operated via proprietary FW and SW. The SW communicates with embedded FW in the main processor and manages Graphical User Interface (GUI) running on the PC embedded.
