Warning:
All persons within the NOHD shall wear appropriate eye protection with a minimum optical
density of 4.58. For operators complying with EN 207, all persons shall wear eyewear with a
protection class of DL4. Do not use eyewear that is visibly damaged in any way. Failure to
use appropriate eyewear with the Fraxel Laser Systems increases the risk of injury to the
cornea, sclera and soft tissue of the eye.
Warning:
Use extra caution when treating close to the eyes. The laser wavelengths used in the
Fraxel Laser Systems are extremely hazardous to the cornea and soft tissue around the
eye. All operators must have a comprehensive understanding of the risks involved and
knowledge of the safety precautions required for these lasers to ensure the safety of the
patients and others within the NOHD.
Warning:
Never look directly into the path of the laser as this may cause permanent eye damage. In
addition, direct exposure to the laser beam can cause permanent damage to the safety
eyewear lens.
Warning:
A warning sign shall be placed on the outside of the treatment room door or controlled area.
Warning:
Do not attempt to coil the umbilical beyond the resistance point of the armoring. Do not use
if the internal cables and wires are visible through holes or gaps in the umbilical armoring as
this may cause inadvertent exposure of laser energy to persons in the room.
Warning:
Never look into the handpiece exit window if the laser is turned on. Severe eye damage
could occur. Turn off the power to the laser before inspecting any of the optical
components.
