Important UV safety information
UV WARNING
In any UV WARNING situation, the operator should wear appropriate safety glasses or a protective
mask and gloves. UV radiation can be dangerous for unprotected eyes and skin; therefore we
recommend the user to wear UV protective goggles (LP-70) or face-shield (MP-80 or MP-800).
Protect all skin surfaces (including the neck, ears, and hands).
Use of the UV transilluminator acrylic protective screen does not guarantee the user protection
from UV radiation. The use of protective goggles, mask, and/or gloves is strongly recommended
This instrument should be used only by trained personnel who know the health risks associated
with the UV radiation normally associated with this instrument. Users should be trained on the
appropriate personal protection gear for working with UV light to minimize UV exposure.
In its lowered position, the UV-
Pad or UV transilluminator’s acrylic shield provides UV
protection.
However, it does not provide complete protection to the user. In its raised position, the acrylic
shield does not protect others who are standing in the area around the imager.
