General
1.
The device is not intended for use in potentially explosive and/or
combustive environments.
2.
The use of flammable anaesthetic or oxidising gases such as nitrous oxide
(N
2
O) and oxygen should be avoided. Some materials such as cotton
which are saturated with oxygen can be ignited by high temperature
occurring during intended use of the laser device. Glue solvents and
flammable solutions used for cleaning and disinfection should be allowed
to evaporate before the laser device is used. Attention must be payed to
bodily gases which may also ignite.
3.
To avoid skin damage, please follow the treatment guidelines in the laser
manual.
4.
Please note that reflective objects in the treatment area can refract the
laser radiation.
5.
Ensure that the laser treatment area is free of flammable substances.
6.
Please note that the laser radiation can leave the treatment area through
windows, glass doors or other openings. Take appropriate precautions.
7.
The fiber-optic cable and applicator are very sensitive optical systems.
Treat them with appropriate care and protect them from contamination.
8.
Never bend the fiber-optic cable and protect it against tensile loads.
Damage to the fiber-optic cable can lead to unwanted radiation exposure.
9.
Do not unscrew the spacer sleeve on the front part of the applicator under
any circumstances. A treatment without the spacer sleeve or with an
incorrectly installed sleeve can lead to increased exposure to the laser
beam and cause skin burns.
10.
When in use, electrical devices emit electromagnetic fields that can
interfere with other devices. If in doubt, keep sufficient distance from
potential sources of interference or avoid operating such devices
simultaneously.
11.
The device is to be used only in response to an indication by a physician.
12.
Caution - If operating or adjusting devices other than those described here
are used or if other procedures are performed, these may result in
hazardous radiation influence.
13.
The use of the device without spacers and high output settings poses a
risk of skin burns.
