Warning:
• The protective laser eyewear has an optical density (OD) rating > 5.0 for 810 nm AND 980 nm laser emission (see specification
sheet with eyewear). ONLY wear the protective eyewear supplied with this laser system.
• All personnel in the laser treatment controlled area MUST wear laser safety eyewear.
Replace any protective laser eyewear with eyewear from the manufacturer if there is any damage.
•
NEVER look directly into the distal end of the optical fiber connected to an active laser device WITH or WITHOUT the appropriate
•
laser-emission protective eyewear.
NEVER aim the laser light directly into the eyes.
•
NEVER direct the laser beam at anything other than the area to be treated. Direct or indirect eye contact with the output beam can
•
cause serious damage, irreparable corneal and/or retinal damage, and possible blindness to one or both eyes.
• If you suspect injury, such as direct exposure to the eyes, seek medical attention immediately.
• FAILURE TO COMPLY with all safety instructions and warnings may expose everyone in the controlled laser treatment area to
harmful levels of laser radiation and/or dangerous levels of electrical current.
FAILURE TO COMPLY with the application techniques listed in the manual may lead to exposure to harmful levels of laser
•
radiation.
AVOID THE USE of flammable solvents, anesthetics, and oxidizing gases such as nitrous oxide (N
•
temperatures produced during normal use of the laser system may ignite some materials, such as cotton or wool.
After cleaning any treatment head with alcohol solution, DO NOT use until the alcohol solution completely evaporates. Doing so
•
may cause the laser to ignite alcohol solutions or vapors.
Take the following steps to secure the treatment room, or the controlled area:
Alert patients and personnel of laser safety precautions before they enter the laser treatment controlled area. Post a laser safety sign
•
on the outside of the treatment room door when the laser is in use.
• Close the treatment room door during operation of the laser. The remote interlock connector can be connected to the treatment room
door through an interlock circuit so laser emission stops when the treatment room door is opened.

Patient Preparation

Warning:
Use carefully. May cause serious burns. Do not use over sensitive skin areas or in the presence of poor circulation. The
•
unattended use of the device by children or incapacitated persons may be dangerous.
DO NOT allow any reflective objects to fall into or obstruct the path of the laser while it is emitting. Direct or indirect eye contact
•
with scattered laser light from any reflective surface can cause serious, irreparable corneal and/or retinal damage, and possible
blindness to one or both eyes.
DO NOT pretreat tissue (e.g., with a heating pad or wet compress) before laser treatment. Tissue to be treated must be dry and
•
at normal temperature before laser treatment begins.
Before a treatment, do the following preparation:
• The operator, all assistants, and the patient must remove all reflective objects (rings, metal watchbands, and jewelry) prior to treatment.
The area to be treated must be exposed. DO NOT treat through clothing or bandages.
•
The treatment area should be clean and free of surface dirt or oils.
•
• Isopropyl alcohol solution (70% alcohol) may be used to clean all instrument surfaces that contact the patient (see Section 5.1).
Remember to allow the alcohol solution to completely evaporate before initiating the Laser System.
