Warning:
Laser treatment can only be initiated when the screen shows Treat mode, when the
footswitch is pressed down, and when the IOTS registers handpiece motion. Do not leave
the system in Treat mode and the footswitch pressed down when no treatment is desired,
otherwise inadvertent exposure could occur and serious injury could result.
CAUTION: Solta systems are intended for use solely by trained physicians and
authorized staff trained in the operation of these devices.
CAUTION: Unauthorized calibration of this device, or the use of controls or
adjustments to performance not specified or approved by Solta Medical could cause
injury or harm to the patient, or may result in unintentional laser exposure, or may
void any warranty.
3.5 Electrical
Safety
3.5.1
Electrical hazards with the laser are similar to any high-powered
electrical device. Care should be taken when plugging the unit into
the wall outlet. The area must be free of water and your hands must
be dry to avoid electric shock. Always disconnect the laser by
grasping and pulling the plug and not the power cord.
3.5.2
Place the power cord and footswitch cord where they cannot
become hazards.
CAUTION: Never operate the footswitch in water. Serious injury could result. The
footswitch must remain dry.
3.5.3
The high voltages of the Fraxel Laser Systems are not accessible
unless the protective housing is opened. Do not open the protective
panels unless trained and authorized to do so.
3.5.4
Do not attempt to coil the umbilical or power cable beyond the
resistance point of the armoring. Do not use if internal cables and
wires are visible through holes or gaps in the umbilical armoring as
this may cause inadvertent exposure of electrical energy to persons
in the room.
3.5.5
Servicing high voltage and other components is to be done only by
Solta authorized personnel. If service is required call Solta
Customer Service or your local authorized distributor of Solta
Medical lasers.
3.5.6
The laser should never be left turned on while opened.
