Real-time on-screen display of treatment energy. Lightweight, Compact and Portable. Easily transported between hospital and office MultiMedia Card (MMC). Stores data for at least 100 treatments. Automated tracking of procedure and fiber records. Available USB-MMC (SD memory card) card reader/writer enables easy data transfer to PC.
Key tips
- ·Verify true laser output with an external power meter, not the console readout - the display drifts independently of real delivered energy.
- ·Never bypass a door interlock, key switch, or footswitch safety to finish a treatment - laser safety interlocks are not optional.
- ·Most low-output complaints trace to the delivery fiber or handpiece, not the laser source - inspect and swap those first.
- ·Intermittent mid-treatment shutdowns are usually cooling-related - check coolant level and flow before suspecting the diode or lamp.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
No or low laser output
HighSymptoms: Weak or no output at the delivery device, treatment ineffective, power not reaching the set value.
Root cause: Laser module / lamp / diode-bar ageing, a damaged delivery fibre / handpiece / applicator, or a driver / power-supply fault.
Cooling / thermal shutdown
HighSymptoms: Unit shuts down after a period, over-temperature or low-flow alarm.
Root cause: Chiller / TEC fault, low or contaminated coolant, a failed pump, or blocked airflow.
Delivery fibre / handpiece / applicator fault
MediumSymptoms: Burn marks at the tip, high loss, intermittent output, applicator not recognised.
Root cause: Damaged or contaminated fibre / applicator / connector.
Skin-cooling / contact-cooling fault (aesthetic)
MediumSymptoms: Skin cooling not delivered, cooling / cryogen alarm.
Root cause: Contact-cooling / cryogen supply, a valve, or the tip.
Footswitch / interlock / key fault
MediumSymptoms: Laser will not fire, key / interlock / footswitch error.
Root cause: Footswitch, door interlock, or key-switch fault.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Laser output power verification against a calibrated external power meter
- ·Cooling-system check: coolant level, flow rate, and filter / heat-exchanger condition
- ·Delivery-system inspection: handpiece, delivery fiber or articulated arm, and output optics
- ·Interlock, key-switch, emergency-stop, and footswitch function test
- ·Beam-alignment and optical-path check per the service manual
- ·Annual full PM and electrical safety test
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: No or low output
- Measure output at the delivery device with a laser power meter against the setting.
- Fit a known-good delivery fibre / handpiece / applicator.
- Confirm the cooling system runs and coolant is at level and clean.
- Check the key, interlock and footswitch are satisfied.
- Escalate a confirmed laser-module or driver fault to the OEM; recalibrate power after any module work.
Symptom: Thermal shutdown
- Confirm the cooling fans / pump run and airflow is clear.
- Check the coolant level and replace the coolant filter.
- Let the unit cool and restart.
- Clean the air filters / vents.
- Monitor for recurrence during a treatment.

Safety & Recalls
Synced live from the FDA openFDA API.
- RECALL
OPS Fiber packaged within specific VenaCure EVLT Procedure Kits does not meet the required dimensional specification, may result in damage to the sheath, including separation or the inability to move the fiber within the sheath. A damaged sheath will necessitate removal from the patient, which may result in procedural delay and/or surgical intervention
- RECALL
The affected product is properly labelled with an expiration date of March 31, 2022; but the RFID programmed expiration date is April-2014 which results in an error message when connected to the laser source and prevents the product from being used.
- RECALL
AngioDynamics Inc., is recalling Micro Introducer Kits and VenaCure EVLT NeverTouch Procedure Kits, because the potential exists that the micro Introducer (sheath/dilator) packaged within the kit could be the wrong French size.
- RECALL
During an in-process inspection the hemostasis sidearm assemblies were identified to have the potential for flash to exist on the housing at the base of the threads. This flash has the potential to break off and relocate within the fluid path.
