96 Indications for Use
Warnings
WARNING -
The physician should be well acquainted with standard
operating procedures and the use of the operating microscope. Formal
instruction in these areas is available through established programs.
WARNING -
Although hemostasis is to be expected from use of the laser,
coagulation may prove difficult in highly vascular lesions and the use of means
other than the laser may be needed.
Precautions
CAUTION -
In clinical experience, the laser has not been found to be
effective for obtaining hemostasis in cortical bone.
CAUTION -
Blood should not be allowed to contaminate or color the
perilymph surface. A bloodless field will help prevent absorption of the laser
energy by the clear perilymph.

CAUTION -
The usual precautions observed for general anesthesia for any
purpose, and for otological procedures specifically, are to be followed.
Guidelines for use
Formal instruction in operative procedures is
the responsibility of the physician and
should be obtained on a formal basis from
recognized sources.
CAUTION -
The operator should be aware of the irradiances required for
specific tissue effects as are outlined throughout this manual, as well as detailed
in the appropriate delivery device operator manual.
