Safety
Preventing unintended exposure of laser energy
To prevent exposure to laser energy, except as a therapeutic application,
from either direct or diffusely reflected laser beams, always review and
observe the safety precautions outlined in this manual and the console
operator manual before using the probe.
Preventing unauthorized use of the system
This device is intended for use only by you, the qualified physician. The
applicability of the equipment and treatment techniques selected is your
sole responsibility.
Ensuring safe operation
Do not use the probe or eye safety filter if you suspect it is not functioning
properly.
Preventing reflection hazards
Laser beams reflected from specular surfaces can harm your eyes, the
patient’s eyes, or others’ eyes. Any mirror or metal object which reflects
the laser beam can constitute a reflection hazard. Make sure to remove all
reflection hazards near the laser. Use non-reflecting instruments whenever
possible. Be careful not to direct the laser beam at unintended objects.
Preventing fire and explosion hazards
Do not operate the console and probe in the presence of flammables or
explosives such as volatile anesthetics, alcohol, or surgical preparation
solutions.
CAUTION
Use of controls or
adjustments or performing
of procedures other than
those specified herein may
result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
WARNING
Never look directly into
the aiming or treatment
laser beam apertures or
fiber-optic cables which
deliver the laser beams
with or without laser
safety eyewear.
WARNING
Always verify that the
probe is properly
connected to the console.
An improper connection
may result in an
inadvertent secondary
laser beam. Severe eye or
tissue damage could occur.
WARNING
Never look directly into
the laser light source or at
laser light scattered from
bright reflective surfaces.
Avoid directing the
treatment beam at highly
reflective surfaces, such as
metal instruments.
WARNING
Do not operate the
console and probe in the
presence of flammables or
explosives such as volatile
anesthetics, alcohol, or
surgical preparation
solutions.
