2.4 Laser Safety
The IVIS Spectrum is equipped with Class 3R laser (532 nm (green) laser
source, 5 mW maximum continuous (CW), which is suitably embedded and
limited in power to less than 1mW where accessible in the imaging
compartment behind the front door.
WARNING
!
WARNING! A laser beam can be harmful to the eyes. ABSOLUTELY DO
NOT look directly into the laser beam when the laser is turned on. Be aware
that the laser light can be easily reflected off of shiny surfaces and that the
reflected light can be dangerous. When the laser is on, remove all watches
and jewelry before placing hands in the imaging chamber.
2.5 Fluorescence Light Source Safety
WARNING
!
WARNING! The IVIS Spectrum is equipped with a strong bottom illumination
fluorescence light source. Do not stare directly into this source.
2.6 Environmental Considerations for the System Components
Location for the IVIS
®
Spectrum
Before the IVIS
®
Spectrum is installed, consider the proper environment for the
components.
Install the equipment in an environment where:
•
The temperature does not change or fluctuate widely. Choose an
environment where the temperature is maintained between 15-25
°
C (59-
78 ° F).
•
The humidity does not exceed 80%.
•
No strong electric or magnetic fields exist.
•
No vibrations are present.
•
No corrosive gases are present.
•
High amounts of dust are not present.
•
No open flame is present.
•
There is sufficient space behind the IVIS Spectrum equipment. A
minimum space of six inches from the flat surface of the rear panel should
be provided behind the IVIS Spectrum to provide unobstructed air flow
and access to the main power on/off switch.
•
The floor is level and structurally sound.
Heat
The system should be situated away from heat sources such as open flames,
radiators, heat registers, stoves, and other heat-generating electrical equipment.
