Key Equipment Safety Features
Hardware
In addition to the safety signs placed on each of the elements of the Theralase™ system, key safety features are built into the
TLC-
2000
Power Pack and Tablet software as well. These are illustrated below.
Figure 3. Safety Features.
1.
Emergency Stop: This button shuts down the entire laser system immediately when pressed.
2.
ON/OFF Key Switch: This is the main on / off switch for the laser system. When not in use, the keys can be placed in
a safe location to prevent unauthorized use of the equipment.
3.
Remote Interlock Connector: The Remote Interlock Connector is a connector that may be removed for
disconnecting the main power.
4.
Laser Probe: The Laser Probes are the applied parts of the system. The Probe cannot operate the laser diodes unless
a laser protocol has been received from the tablet software.
5.
Tablet Software: Even if the Key Switch is left in the system with the Remote Interlock Connector in place and the
Laser Probe(s) turned on, there is yet another security feature in place. The Laser Probe(s) cannot emit laser light unless
treatment data has been received from the Theralase™ software on the tablet. To log into the operating system, the
computer tablet and the Theralase™ TLC
-2000
application software requires a username and password to operate.
This now completes the 6-step security protocol system to prohibit laser use by unauthorized personnel.
