2.7 Risk of fire
Do not use the laser in conjunction with flammable anesthetic
substances.
Keep potentially explosive materials away from the laser hazard
zone. Easily flammable materials may start fires.
A laser beam could ignite many explosive or flammable gases or
liquids, including some of the solutions used in the preparation of
surgical procedures.
Flammable drapes, surgical gowns, gauze and other ignitable
materials must be kept out of the beam path. We recommend
using non-flammable materials and instruments and wearing
gowns and clothing which do not easily catch fire.
A fire extinguisher should be kept in the vicinity of the system.
Check the integrity of all lenses and glass surfaces before each use.
Severe contamination may result in unwanted heat exposure.
Detached coatings may result in exposure to increased radiation.
2.8 Damage to fiber optics
Fiber optics may not be tightly bent, kinked or incompletely
secured. The system may otherwise be damaged and injury caused
to the patient or user.
