Abstract

Output attachments to an electromagnetic-energy outputting device are coded using colors, topography, or combinations of color and topography. The output attachments, which are removable and interchangeable, may be interchanged for purposes of performing particular surgical or other cutting procedures. Instructions provided to a user refer to colors or other coded indicators in order to provide rapid and reliable switching of output attachments.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60 / 610,757, filed September 18, 2004, entitled "Coded Output Attachment for Use with an Electromagnetic Energy Programming Device," which is incorporated by reference in its entirety In the present invention. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to electromagnetic energy procedural devices, and more particularly to electromagnetic energy devices for use in medical applications. Background technique [0004] Laser equipment used in dental and medical applications often uses specialized handpieces and attachments for specific medical or dental procedures. For example, a laser can be configured to output optical energy through a first type of optical waveguide to facilitate a first procedure, such as caries removal, and to output optical energy through a second type of optical waveguide to facilitate a second procedure, su...
