Warnings and Cautions
General Hazards
WARNING! The electrical and laser radiation hazards present during servicing of the
AlexTriVantage Laser can be extremely dangerous if proper safety precautions are not
taken. Consequently, the AlexTriVantage Laser is to be serviced only by those
qualified technicians who have received appropriate training on the AlexTriVantage
Laser from Candela, and who are familiar with the safety considerations discussed in
this section.
WARNING! The AlexTriVantage Laser system has been designed for the safest
possible operation and maintenance. However, any laser system can cause injury if it
is not properly installed, operated, moved or serviced, and the AlexTriVantage Laser is
no exception. The potential hazards associated with the AlexTriVantage Laser are:
ocular (vision) damage resulting from exposure to direct or reflected laser radiation,
electrical shock from contact with electrical components inside the system, and
physical injury incurred while moving the system.
WARNING! Invisible and visible laser radiation. Avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or
scattered radiation. Class 4 laser product (Per EN60825-1: 2002-07)
WARNING! The Preset Treatment Parameters and Clinical Treatment Guidelines do
not take the place of the procedures and instructions found in the Operator’s Guide.
Failure to use the laser in accordance with such procedures and instructions could
result in serious injury to the operator, the patient, and others, as well as damage to the
laser system.
Follow OSHA and ANSI standards for laser safety. Protective eyewear must be
worn by all persons in the treatment room during laser operation.
Check the delivery system for any damage (i.e. dropped).
Discontinue use of your laser delivery system if you suspect a problem.
WARNING! Always put the laser system into Standby or turn it off before attempting to
check, clean, and/or replace the Delivery System, Handpiece, or Distance Gauge.
WARNING! Always recalibrate the laser after fixing, cleaning, or replacing the Delivery
System, Handpiece, or Distance Gauge. Failure to initiate a calibration after cleaning/
replacing the Handpiece, Distance Gauge, or Delivery System may result in the
delivery of excessive laser energy.
WARNING! Ensure that the spot size on the Handpiece matches the Handpiece size
displayed in the Handpiece field on the control panel. Failure to do so can result in the
delivery of improper energy to the patient.
WARNING! Do not operate the laser if the aiming beam is not present! This may be an
indication of a broken fiber optic. If the aiming beam is not present, replace the Delivery
System. If this does not correct the problem, call Technical Support.
Caution! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Caution! Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician.
