3.2 EVALUATING THE FACILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSIDERATIONS
In order to insure the safe use of the laser in your facility, please check to make sure that the proposed location has the following:
3.2.1 Power Requirements
110 - 240 V AC ±10 % at 50 - 60 Hz
3 Amps
9 volt Lithium battery for the foot pedal
3.2.2 Heating and Ventilation
The laser should be operated in areas with the optimum temperature range of 20º - 30ºC (68º - 86º F).
3.2.3 Transport and Storage
Avoid storing or transporting the laser in temperatures below 0ºC (32º F).
3.2.4 Lighting
Overhead lighting and or dental unit light should provide enough illumination to allow good operator vision when
activating the laser intra-orally.
3.2.5 Combustible Chemicals and Gases
All gases that are combustible or support combustion and are used in the operatory area where the laser is in use must
be turned off during the procedure. Cleaning supplies or other flammable chemical compounds should be stored in an
area away from the surgical site in order to avoid possible combustion (e.g. alcohol gauze, liquid topical anesthetics).
3.2.6 High Speed Vacuum Systems
Plume evacuation is a priority when vaporizing tissues. The Clinician or operator, and their chair-side assistants
should keep themselves and the patient safe by using a high volume vacuum system and filtration masks that are
suitable for virus and bacterial control. Please use a high filtration mask with 0.1 micron or less to protect from
airborn viruses or bacterial particles.
3.2.7 Access and Visual
Access to the treatment area should be restricted while
the laser is in use. A
Laser In Use Safety Sign
should be
adjacent to the entrance to the treatment area, Fig. 3.2.7.
