Fire Hazards
WARNING:
• Do not use this device in the presence of flammables or explosives,
such as volatile anesthetics, alcohol, certain surgical preparation
solutions, and similar substances. An explosion and/or fire could
occur.
• The treatment beam can ignite most non-metallic materials. Use fire
retardant drapes and gowns. The area around the treatment site can be
protected with towels or gauze sponges moistened with sterile saline
solution or sterile water. If allowed to dry, protective towels and
sponges can increase the potential fire hazard. A UL-approved fire
extinguisher and water should be readily available.
• When performing procedures in the perianal area, the flammability of
methane gas must be considered. Moistened sponges should be
inserted into the rectum.
Additional Safety Considerations
CAUTION:
• Smoke evacuation may be required if using the laser in open-air
