3.1.1 Precautions while using laser centring devices
For patient positioning, X-MIND prime uses two laser diodes with optical power on the
working surface < 1 mW.
The directive CEI-EN 60825-1 defines the laser as "any device that produces or amplifies
electromagnetic radiation in a coherent manner which includes a wave lengths from 180
nm to 1 mm by means of a stimulated emission". In reference to this directive, the lasers
present on the X-MIND prime are parts of class 2.
A laser in class 2 can be potentially dangerous if the ray is reflected into not protected
eyes by a mirror, watch, a ring etc.
The warning label below is affixed to X-MIND prime to indicate a laser in class 2 is
mounted internally and caution is advised:
Warning
•
Always keep the room well lit.
•
Do not look into the output windows of laser centring units.
•
Do not stare at the reflections of laser pointers.
•
Instruct the patient to keep his/her eyes closed as long as the laser pointers
are active.
•
Before starting an exam, the patient must remove earrings, glasses,
necklaces and any other item that could reflect the laser beam or be
impressed on the radiographic image.
•
Do not clean the openings of laser centring devices with tools that could
modify the optics. Any cleaning must only be performed by authorized
technicians.
•
Operations other than those indicated could cause the emission of
dangerous non-ionizing radiation.
