Fire hazards
WARNING -
Do not use this device in the presence of flammables or
explosives, such as volatile anesthetics, alcohol, volatile surgical preparation
solutions, and similar substances. An explosion or fire could occur.
WARNING -
The treatment beam can ignite most nonmetallic materials. Use
fire retardant drapes and gowns. The area around the treatment site can be
protected with towels or gauze sponges moistened with sterile saline solution
or sterile water. If allowed to dry, protective towels and sponges can increase
the potential fire hazard. A UL-approved fire extinguisher and water should be
readily available.
Electrical hazards
WARNING -
Never open the laser console protective covers. Opening the
covers will expose personnel to high voltage components and possible laser
radiation. Only Lumenis-certified service technicians shall work inside the
console.
WARNING -
To avoid electrical shock, the area around the laser and
footswitch should be kept dry. Do not operate the laser if any of the cords are
faulty or frayed. The laser should undergo routine inspection and maintenance
per Lumenis manufacturer’s recommendations and institutional standards.
