3. The NOHD (Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance) of this laser system is extremely large, so
the entire laser session room is to be regarded as the laser area.
4. Personal eye protection
5. Further precautionary measures
• Cover up windows and other openings of the treatment room in order to prevent
unwanted laser radiation emission.
• Restrict access to the treatment room to the patient to be treated and to those
persons who will assist and are trained in the handling of this laser device.
• Make sure that personnel trained and assisting in a therapy session know how to
shut down the laser in the case of an emergency.
• Remove all metal objects such as watches, rings, bracelets or similar belongings
from the working area and refrain from the use of reflecting instruments or other
comparable materials where possible.
(Reflecting objects can interrupt the laser beam and guide it to an area other than
that intended. Many surfaces, even those that appear matt, can strongly reflect the
emission wavelength of the laser.)
• Point the active laser only onto the intended treatment area.
• Refrain from looking directly into the outlet opening of the handpiece or that of the
optical fiber, even if you wear laser safety goggles.
• For non-operational phases, you should switch to STANDBY mode (in the STANDBY
mode, accidental firing of the laser is prevented).
• Always remove the key from the key holder once power has been turned off and
keep the key in a safe place.
6. Responsibility
The user who fires the laser is responsible for laser safety. He/she has to ensure that all
preventive measures have been taken before firing the laser. It is particularly important
that all persons in the room, in which the laser is operated, including the patient, put on
the appropriate laser safety goggles or eyeshield.
