Laser Safety
Details of the Raman IdentiCheck laser source are summarized are summarized in Table 2.
Table 2 Laser Specifications
Class
3B
Wavelength 785 nm
Power output 250 mW (max)
The Raman IdentiCheck complies with the requirements of IEC 60825-1:2007 and
21CFR 1040.10 FDA performance standards for laser products, except for deviations
pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated 26 July 2001.
WARNING
Use of controls or adjustments or the performance of any procedures
other than those specified in this document may result in exposure to
hazardous laser radiation.
WARNING
Removal of the protective housing or external panels is dangerous.
If the protective covers or service panels on the instrument appear to be
damaged, turn the instrument off, secure it against any unauthorized
operation and contact PerkinElmer for advice before using the instrument
again.
The triggered fiber optic probe (TFOP) provides a focused beam of laser radiation (100 mW
at 785 nm).
During normal operation laser radiation is accessible from the end of the probe. The output
energy should be enclosed whenever possible (using an enclosure or a beam attenuator) to
avoid unnecessary exposure to laser radiation.
WARNING
Avoid direct exposure to the laser beam.
WARNING
Do not look at the laser light or scattered laser light.
Use protective laser safety goggles, with an optical density (OD) of at
least 3 at 785 nm, as a precaution against accidental exposure to the
direct or reflected laser light. Suitable goggles are available from
PerkinElmer (part number L1323518).
