CAUTION
- Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices. This signal word is to be
limited to the least dangerous situations.
1.2.1 Laser Safety
WARNING
-
There is a risk of an incorrect diagnosis or treatment.
The isocenter of the lasers
must coincide with the isocenter of the diagnostic or treatment equipment. Testing the alignment of the
lasers to the isocenter of the diagnostic or treatment equipment is based on the hospitals procedures. Newly
installed equipment can possibly shift as building walls and floors settle and as building materials dry out.
If the equipment or the lasers have been moved, it is advised to realign the lasers to the isocenter before
use.
CAUTION
-
The laser light is a risk for eye damage.
The laser used in the MAXX-700 patient
positioning system is a Class 2 laser. To prevent eye damage, do not allow patients to stare into the laser
beam. The normal blink reflex will prevent eye damage. If a patient is unable to blink normally, then the
laser operator must prevent the laser from shining into the patient's eye.
1.2.2 Safety Labels
Three safety labels are placed on each MAXX-700 laser unit in the locations shown below:
1. At the upper left corner
on the left side of the
cover.
2. Right under the
window on the front side
