When the laser system is emitting, an EMISSION!
indicator (
Figure 3
) will appear on the touch screen
and flash. See Section 4.3.6 for a full description of
the transitions of this indicator based on the laser
mode (i.e. Standby, Ready, or Emission).
The amber LED (
Figure 4
) next to the power button on
the front bezel illuminates to indicate the state of the
laser. When off, the laser is considered to be in a safe
state -
Standby
. While transitioning from
Standby
to
Ready
mode, the LED blinks. When in
Ready
mode,
it is constantly illuminated. While emitting, it blinks.
In addition, there is a red aiming beam that emits from the hand piece while in
Ready
and
Emission
modes that provides a visible indication of laser state and the treatment location.
This aiming beam flashes during the transition from
Standby
to
Ready
mode.
Lastly, there is an audible indication during
Emission
that is a steady tone, or continuous
beep, depending on the system settings. The audible alert sounds six times during the six
second transition from
Standby
to
Ready
mode.
1.5.5. Unattended Protection 100 Seconds
If the laser system is left in
Ready
mode without enabling laser emission, the system will
automatically return to
Standby
mode.
1.5.6. Internal Laser Energy Monitor
To prevent over-exposure hazards due to excessive laser power, the laser system
continuously monitors the output current of the diodes to ensure they are within the factory
calibration settings. If it is detected that the electrical current levels exceed the upper or
lower limits that would result in power levels outside of the ±20% thresholds, the laser will
stop emission and return to
Standby
mode. To clear the error message and reset the laser
system, the operator must press the
EXIT
button on the touch screen.
1.6. Laser Eye Protection
ANYONE
in the Laser Treatment Controlled Area
(LTCA) during laser treatment
MUST
wear the laser
safety eyewear that is provided with the Laser System.
The eyewear has an optical density (OD) rating >5.0 for
808 nm
AND
980 nm wavelengths, as identified on the
lenses (
Figure 5
). Additional protective eyewear can be
purchased from the company webstore.
