CAUTION: The Fraxel Laser Systems are susceptible to Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD) and proper ESD procedures should be followed.
3.6 Laser Treatment Controlled Area (LTCA) Information
3.6.1
Warning signs for laser exposure must be placed on all doors
allowing entrance into the LTCA.
3.6.2
The signs must display "Danger" or "Warning", and the type and
wavelength of laser in use in accordance with ANSI Z35.1, the
specification for accident prevention signs, or per your local or
regional regulations. Examples of suitable signs are also shown in
ANSI Z136.1, Z136.3 and IEC60825-1.
3.6.3
Appropriate protective eyewear should be placed outside of the
laser treatment room to facilitate safe entry. Failure to use
appropriate eyewear with the Solta Medical Fraxel Laser Systems
increases the risk of injury to the cornea, sclera and soft tissue of
the eye.
3.6.4
All LTCA windows should be covered with opaque non-flammable
material or a non-flammable window filter specific for the
wavelength being used in order to prevent inadvertent escape of
laser light. Note that a material that appears opaque to the eye may
not be opaque at the treatment wavelength. Most common ordinary
window glass will allow the laser wavelength used in the Solta
Medical Fraxel 1550, Fraxel 1927 and Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927
Laser Systems to escape.
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.
3.7 Laser Suite Access and Remote Door Interlock
3.7.1
Always limit personnel in the surgical procedure room to those
essential to the procedure. To protect personnel from possible
injury due to entry into the procedure room during treatment, an
optional remote door interlock can be connected from the laser
system to the procedure room entrance door.
3.7.2
When connected, the interlock will automatically disable the laser if
the door is opened during the procedure. When the door is closed,
the interlock is reconnected and treatment can resume once the
message is acknowledged.
