•
Never operate the laser in the presence of flammable liquids (such as alcohol) or
flammable anesthetics (such as ether). Moisten combustible solids (such as gauze
and swabs) with water or saline for safety.
Safety Considerations continued
•
Ensure that the laser system and ancillary equipment are working properly before
beginning a procedure.
•
Never direct the laser beam at anything other than the intended treatment site,
especially not at reflective objects such as metal surgical instruments.
•
Be certain the laser footswitch is clean and working properly. Place the footswitch
where it will not be mistaken for another piece of equipment.
•
Appropriate eye protection must be provided for the patient.
•
Never look directly into the distal end of the handpiece.
•
All personnel in the operating room must wear laser safety eyewear approved for
the Alexandrite and Nd:YAG Laser wavelength, with an Optical Density of 7 or
greater at 755 nm and 1064 nm; this includes both practitioners and those being
treated. Patients may also wear opaque stainless steel eye shields.
•
Post warning signs on all doors and cover all windows with nonflammable
window covering in the operating area.
•
Always ensure that the handpiece is in proper contact with the area to be treated
prior to the delivery of each laser pulse.
Electrical
Although the POLYLASE LP Pulsed Dual Output Laser has many safety features in its
design, certain precautions must be observed:
No one should attempt to operate the POLYLASE LP Pulsed Dual Output Laser with any
panel removed. This may expose personnel to dangerous high voltages and potentially
dangerous optical radiation. Qualified DDC Technologies Service Representatives should
perform any service requiring access to the interior of the instrument (except the flash
lamps change procedure described in this manual). To contact a Service Representative,
dial (516) 770-0441.
The electrical safety hazard of any laser cannot be ignored or taken
lightly. The POLYLASE laser system uses AC line voltage to
produce high DC voltages inside the cabinet which have the
potential to cause fatal electrical shock.
It is possible for the high
voltage components to retain a charge even after the laser has
been turned off.
Therefore, no part of the exterior housing (with
exclusion for the top cover panel during flash lamp change
procedure) should be removed except by trained and authorized
laser technicians.
