Important:
The 3B LASER PEN may not be stored with empty rechargeable batteries. We recommend
removing the rechargeable batteries if you are not intending to operate the unit for a period of >1 month. Rechar-
geable batteries that have been removed must be charged at least every three months. The battery charge control
takes the memory effect into account, so you can charge the device after each treatment without having to worry.
Safety Information
Please observe the instructions in the operating manual strictly and heed the warnings (see warning signs
in the chapter “Manufacturer’s Labels and Warning Signs”). Using the operating elements, settings and
procedures other than described in the operating instructions may result in hazardous laser radiation.
The
3B LASER PEN
must be protected against unintentional operation by using the key pin.
To this end, insert the key pin into the black connector (10) after you are finished using the unit.
Also please observe the provisions of the pertaining national Accident and Prevention Insurance regulations on “Laser Radiation”.
The
3B LASER PEN
may only be operated by specialised medical staff who have been trained in handling the unit.
Treatment must be supervised at all times.
Portable and mobile HF communication devices can disrupt the proper functioning of the unit. This device is subject to
special precautions regarding EMC and therefore may only be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions
provided in the accompanying document entitled “Notes on Electromagnetic Compatibility”.
Do not look into the laser beam outlet and do not point into the eyes of other persons even if the eyes are closed. During
laser applications near the eyes, the eyes require special protection.
The safety distance for the
3B LASER PEN
is 500 cm (78.74 inch).
If used incorrectly, lasers can damage the eyes, especially if the distance between the eye and the laser beam outlet is
shorter than the safety distance.
Please make sure that no mirrors or other reflecting surfaces are located within the safety distance from the
3B LASER PEN
(reflection of laser light).
User and patient must always wear laser protection glasses. Laser protection glasses must meet the European
EN 207 standard and be suitable for the laser diodes used (protection level = L3).
The laser system must only be switched on when it is in the treatment position (in direct contact with or a few mm distance
from the treatment area). When the treatment position is changed, the laser must be turned off and only be turned on again
when it is in the new treatment position. After the treatment the
3B LASER PEN
must be switched off.
If the
3B LASER PEN
or the charging station shows any signs of external damage, the device may no longer be operated
and must be returned to the manufacturer.
Magnetic and electric fields as well as ionizing radiation may influence the functioning of the unit. For this reason you should
not operate the laser system near devices which generate large electromagnetic fields or ionizing ra-diation, such as X-ray
machines, diathermy equipment, and wireless telephones. Do not operate the unit in rooms which are subject to the risk of
explosion.
The
3B LASER PEN
and the rechargeable batteries are subject to the WEEE Directive (waste of electrical
and electronic equipment) 2002/96/EC and must not be disposed of as normal household waste. This also
applies to the rechargeable batteries that are part of the unit.
If you wish to discontinue using the
3B LASER PEN
for good, please let the supplier or MKW Lasersystem
GmbH know. The manufacturer is only responsible for safety and reliability if the laser device is used in
accordance with the operating instructions.
Operate the
3B LASER PEN
only in closed rooms at room temperature. The laser warning sign which has been supplied
must be attached to the door.
