3.6
Requirements for Treatment Rooms
•
Rooms in which the MCO 25 plus
is to be operated must be marked with a sign (included in
the delivery) at all accesses.
•
All access doors to the laser area must be equipped with a warning lamp. When the
warning lamp is activated, the laser area may be accessed only by authorized persons
wearing the required laser protection goggles.
•
The doors to the laser area must be kept closed during laser application.
•
Avoid surfaces in the laser area that may reflect laser light or cover them appropriately.
3.7
Safety Requirements for the Laser Surgery Device
•
The instruments used must have a shape and surface treatment to eliminate dangerous
reflections as far as possible.
•
Optical systems for observation of the operation area must be designed for laser
applications. They may be used only with suitable attachment filters that meet the
requirements for laser protection goggles.
•
The laser system must never be turned on as long as not all parts of the casing are
attached properly and the casing is closed. If the laser surgery device is not properly
closed, laser light may escape uncontrollably! There is also the risk of contact with
dangerous electric voltages and currents.
•
If you notice any defect on the laser surgery device, the device may no longer be used!
The defects must be noted in the medical product log and reported to the laser safety
officer. Immediately contact Gebrüder Martin or an authorized service technician.
3.8
Safety Notes for the Pilot Laser
CAUTION
Possible distraction caused by pilot laser light!
Direct or reflected laser light from the pilot laser can blind the user and temporarily impair his
or her working ability.
The protective laser goggles D 10600 nm L4/LB4 protect against infrared laser radiation but
not against pilot laser light!
•
Do not directly look into the pilot laser light!
