5.3 Eyewear Protection
A T T E N T I O N !
Never look directly into the laser beam or to the light reflected by the laser beam. Never
look directly into the exit of the fiber optics or into the exit of a laser optics (e.g. hand piece)
as this will cause serious eye injury.
Protective eyewear for both the operator and the patient needs to be able to stop laser
radiation coming from all directions from striking the eye. This is clearly defined by
accident prevention regulations.
When using the C-Pro with the CO
2
laser (invisible and visible light), only those laser
safety glasses designed for the wavelength and bearing the CE mark and the protection
class OD 8+ for 10600 nm may be used. Protective goggles - according to approval - are
available from A.R.C. Laser GmbH.
Please address reorders to A.R.C. Laser GmbH, indicating the wavelength or the item
number of the goggle.
Should you require any additional information on protective goggles, please contact your
local A.R.C. Laser authorized dealer.
There are different types of goggles that allow spectacle wearers to wear tight goggles on
all sides. In particular, the scattered radiation that does not directly come from the front of
the eye may present risks resulting from internal reflections on the glasses. Therefore, we
encourage you to wear the goggles, which also guarantee a full protection to the side
parts.
The treatment space should not to be opened during the treatment from outside. In
addition, a warning light should be attached on the outside. When operating with the laser
this warning light must be turned on. In addition, sufficient goggles should be present in the
room to be provided to any accompanying persons with glasses. For the patient, a patient-
compliant eye protection has to be ensured.
