Scanner
precautions
l
The wand emits red laser light (680nm Class 1) as well as white LED emissions and 850nm
LED emissions. Normal usage of the wand does not present any danger to the human eye.
Avoid shining the wand directly into the patient’s eyes.
l
Avoid twisting, knotting, pulling, and stepping on the wand cable and the power cable.
l
When the system is not in use, the wand should be placed in the cradle with the optical
surface facing the touch screen, in order to avoid eye contact with the laser beam, flickering
white LED emission, and 850nm LED emission. Eye contact could cause damage to the
eyes.
l
Avoid activating the wand while the tip of the wand is outside the patient’s mouth, in order to
prevent eye damage.
l
Avoid placing the wand in the cradle while the scanning operation is still active, in order to
prevent eye damage.
l
Do not use the equipment if a scanner malfunction occurs or if physical damage is
observed, in order to avoid electrical shock or physical injury. Call Customer Support.
Cleaning &
disinfection
l
To avoid cross-contamination, it is mandatory to:
o
Clean and disinfect the wand, as described in Cleaning and disinfecting the wand, and
replace the wand sleeve, as described in Applying a wand sleeve, before each patient
session.
o
Remove and replace gloves after each patient session.
o
Discard torn, contaminated, or removed gloves.
o
Replace the wand sleeve between each patient. Failing to replace the wand sleeve
between patients may cause the inadvertent transfer of microorganisms and other
contaminants from one patient to another.
o
Dispose of wand sleeves according to standard operating procedures or local
regulations for the disposal of contaminated medical waste.
Unpacking &
installing
