Safety
CAUTION
Use of controls or
adjustments or
performing of procedures
other than those specified
herein may result in hazar-
dous 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
TruFocus LIO+ is properly
connected to the 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.
WARNING
Do not operate the
console and TruFocus LIO+
in the presence of
flammables or explosives
such as volatile
anesthetics, alcohol, and
surgical preparation
solutions.
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 console
operator manual before using the TruFocus LIO+.
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 console and TruFocus LIO+
unattended, turn off the console and remove the key to prevent
unauthorized use.
Ensuring safe operation
Do not use the TruFocus LIO+ if you suspect it is not functioning
properly.
Connect the 810 nm TruFocus LIO+ only to an OcuLight SL, OcuLight
SLx, or IQ 810 console. Connect the dual wavelength TruFocus LIO+ to
either an OcuLight SL, OcuLight SLx, OcuLight GL, OcuLight GLx,
OcuLight TX or OcuLight OR console. Do not connect the TruFocus LIO+
to any other console. If you operate the TruFocus LIO+ with any other
laser, you could jeopardize your patient’s safety, as well as your own, and
void product warranty.
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.
Preventing fire and explosion hazards
Do not operate the console and TruFocus LIO+ in the presence of
flammables or explosives such as volatile anesthetics, alcohol, and
surgical preparation solutions.
