Safety
Preventing unintended exposure of laser energy
To prevent exposure to laser energy, except as a therapeutic application,
from either direct or diffusely reflected laser beams, always review and
observe the safety precautions outlined in this manual and the
OcuLight console manuals before using the OcuLight Symphony Adapter.
Preventing unauthorized use of the system
This device is intended for use only by you, the qualified physician. The
applicability of the equipment and treatment techniques selected is your
sole responsibility. When you leave the OcuLight SLx/GLx/TX console and
the
OcuLight Symphony Adapter unattended, turn off the system and remove
the key to prevent unauthorized use.
Ensuring safe operation
Do not use the OcuLight Symphony Adapter if you suspect it is not
functioning properly.
Connect the OcuLight Symphony Adapter only to the OcuLight SLx/GLx/
TX console, not to any other console.
Preventing reflection hazards
Laser beams reflected from specular surfaces can harm your eyes, the
patient’s eyes, or others’ eyes. Any mirror or metal object which reflects
the laser beam can constitute a reflection hazard. Make sure to remove all
reflection hazards near the laser. Use nonreflecting instruments whenever
possible. Be careful not to direct the laser beam at unintended objects.
CAUTION
Use of controls or
adjustments or
performing of procedures
other than those specified
herein may result in
hazardous radiation
exposure.
WARNING
Never look directly into
the aiming or treatment
laser beam apertures or
fiber-optic cables which
deliver the laser beams
with or without laser
safety eyewear.
WARNING
Always verify that the
OcuLight Symphony
Adapter is properly
connected to the
OcuLight console. An
improper connection may
result in an inadvertent
secondary laser beam.
Severe eye or tissue
damage could occur.
WARNING
Never look directly into
the laser light source or at
laser light scattered from
bright reflective surfaces.
Avoid directing the
treatment beam at highly
reflective surfaces, such as
metal instruments.
