irrigation tip and single-use light-diffusing tip
The indicators on the top panel of the laser base station
are as follows:
• Laser On Indicator. The green light at the top of the top panel
indicates that the laser is in use and emitting light.
• Laser Ready Light. After turning on the laser base station,
this green light blinks for about 5 seconds while the system
is performing internal checks. After this period the light stays
permanently lit, indicating that the laser is ready to be used.
• Visible Progress Indicator. A series of blue LEDs in an elliptical
pattern are located around the PERIOWAVE™ logo. Each LED is
sequentially illuminated until all LEDs are lit at the end of the
treatment cycle.
• Audible Beep. There is an audible beep at the end of the laser
illumination treatment period.

1.3 MODE OF ACTION
The primary mode of action for PERIOWAVE™ is disruption of the
microbial cell wall. The topically applied photosensitizer selectively
stains bacteria by binding with cell wall components. The laser light is
absorbed by the photosensitizer molecules, causing electronic state
transitions within the photosensitizer. The excited photosensitizer
immediately transfers energy to surrounding molecular oxygen,
thereby producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) which are responsible
for lethally disrupting the bacterial cell wall. These species are very
short-lived, and the ROS-production process ceases immediately
upon deactivation of the laser. Low-intensity red light absorbed by oral
tissue does not cause heating or other gross morphological alterations.
• Test Light (GO/NO-GO indicator). This green indicator is connected
to the laser power test port. Use of this port is further described in
Section 4.3 below. The test port is used to verify continuity of the
optical light path between the laser base station and the distal end
of the handpiece.
• AC Light. When illuminated this light indicates that the unit is
running on AC power.
• Battery Light. This is adjacent to the battery symbol and flashes
blue when the laser base station must be reconnected to AC power
in order to recharge the battery.
2.0 USAGE INFORMATION
2.1 PERIOWAVE™ USAGE
PERIOWAVE™ is designed for use in a dental clinic by a qualified and
duly trained dental professional. A training program on clinical use
and equipment care and maintenance is provided free of charge prior
to first use.
PERIOWAVE™ should not be used in the presence of flammable
mixtures.
2.2 CONTROLS AND ACCESSORIES
“Laser Ready” light. After turning on the laser base station the
elliptical LED’s/visible progress indicator will cycle (illuminate
sequentially) twice while the system is performing internal checks.
This will take approximately 10 seconds. After completing the
internal checks the “Laser Ready” light should come on indicating that
the laser is ready to be used.
