4.4 Explosion and Fire Hazard
Never work with the laser near flammable anesthetics, flammable solutions or other
flammable materials. Flammable plastic parts or paper parts should also be removed from
the working area of the laser. There is a fire or explosion hazard if the laser is used in the
presence of flammable materials, solutions or gases or in an oxygen-enriched environment
A T T E N T I O N
Laser radiation may not be applied, if the oxygen concentration of the treatment
environment is greater than 30 % (e.g. during centilation). There is risk of fire! If an
intubation tube is used for treatments in pharynx/larynx and oral cavity, a laser-safe
intubation tube is required. There is danger to life here!
4.5 Protection against Undesired Radiation
The FOX 514 emits laser radiation using a foot switch. The foot switch should never be
outside the area of the attending doctor. It is forbidden for anyone other than the attending
doctor to trigger the foot switch.
Especially in operating theaters where there are multiple foot switches, it is important to
ensure that the laser foot switch is close to the laser device.
