When searching for CO2RE Intima replacement consumables, buyers may encounter descriptions such as “external tips,” “external handpieces” and “five-pack accessories.”

These terms can refer to the same purchasing category, but the complete product reference is essential. Clinics need to distinguish individual component references from package references and confirm the exact equipment configuration before ordering.

This guide explains AS90245 and KT76685, clarifies external versus internal components, and outlines the information needed for an informed purchase.

What Is the CO2RE Intima External Handpiece?

The CO2RE Intima external handpiece is a component associated with the CO2RE Intima laser system.

Public device-identification records describe AS90245 as an external CO2RE Intima handpiece. Suppliers may use “tip” as a shorter commercial description, but the recorded product terminology is handpiece. gs1

Search descriptions may include:

• CO2RE Intima external tips.
• Candela CO2RE Intima handpieces.
• Syneron Intima external consumables.
• AS90245 replacement handpieces.
• KT76685 five-pack.
• CO2RE Intima external accessories.

The reference printed on the supplied product should resolve any ambiguity in the listing.

AS90245 and KT76685: Individual Product vs Five-Pack

These references identify different purchasing levels.

The public records identify both under Candela Corporation. gs1

KT76685 should therefore not be treated as the console model or as a separate reusable handpiece onto which AS90245 automatically attaches.

If a listing says “AS90245 tips for KT76685,” ask the seller to clarify that it is describing the individual reference and five-pack reference.

Is This a Complete Laser System?

No. A five-pack of external handpieces is a consumable purchase, not a complete CO2RE laser system.

Unless explicitly stated, it should not be interpreted as including:

• Laser console.
• Intima module.
• Other applicators.
• Internal handpieces.
• Installation.
• Clinical training.
• Additional accessories.

The quotation should explain precisely what the package contains.

External and Internal CO2RE Intima Components

External and internal handpieces are distinct products.

Candela’s published Intima brochure distinguishes an external handpiece from internal handpieces and a reusable surgical handpiece. These categories should not be treated as interchangeable. marketing.candelamedical.com

For purchasing, specify the required category and reference. A quotation stating only “CO2RE Intima tip” is incomplete.

Clinical use must follow the current instructions and permitted indications applicable in the country of operation. Historical brochures from another region should not be treated as proof of current local authorization.

CO2 Laser Accessories Are Different From RF Cartridges

CO2RE Intima belongs to a CO2 laser platform.

Its external handpieces should not be confused with RF microneedling cartridges, Sublative electrode tips or ultrasound transducers.

Similar supplier terminology such as “cartridge,” “tip” or “applicator” does not establish cross-system compatibility.

The exact technology, component and supported equipment should remain clear in product descriptions.

How to Check Compatibility

Before purchasing AS90245 external handpieces, identify the equipment they will be used with.

Provide the supplier with:

1. Exact console model.
2. Intima configuration or module information.
3. Existing verified consumable reference.
4. Relevant equipment-label photographs.
5. Country of operation.

Request written compatibility confirmation supported by applicable documentation.

Do not assume that every CO2RE configuration supports every Intima component. A shared brand name or similar attachment is insufficient.

Likewise, differently numbered external handpieces should not automatically be treated as substitutes. Ask whether the references represent revisions, regional versions or different products.

Single-Use Labeling and Packaging

Candela’s published Intima brochure describes single-use external handpieces. Confirm the labeling and instructions for the actual reference being supplied. marketing.candelamedical.com

For products labeled sterile and single-use:

• Inspect the protective packaging before use.
• Confirm the expiry date.
• Follow the applicable handling instructions.
• Do not reuse or reprocess contrary to those instructions.
• Dispose of the used component appropriately.

A product’s unused appearance after a procedure does not establish suitability for another patient.

Expiry and Package Integrity

Product identity, expiration and packaging condition are separate checks.

Before adding stock to clinical inventory, verify:

• Exact reference.
• Lot information.
• Expiration date.
• Quantity.
• Protective-package integrity.
• Applicable instructions.

An intact outer box does not prove that every individual package is intact. Keep questionable or expired items separate from usable inventory.

Do not confuse a manufacturing date with an expiration date. If the label is unclear, request clarification before use.

Original Product Claims

A listing using Candela or Syneron branding does not independently establish authenticity.

Request evidence supporting any claim that the goods are manufacturer-original. Useful information includes labels, batch details and relevant traceability records.

Public device records help identify references. They do not authenticate a seller’s physical inventory or establish seller authorization.

The product’s origin and the seller’s relationship with the manufacturer should be assessed separately.

What If a Component Does Not Fit?

Stop and follow the equipment instructions.

Do not force an attachment, modify the component or bypass an equipment warning. Record the product reference, batch information, console details and exact issue.

Provide relevant photographs without patient-identifying information. Persistent problems should be assessed by the manufacturer or a qualified service provider.
